Johnny Cash I`m Bound For The Promised Land Lyrics

I`m Bound For The Promised Land Lyrics

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,

And cast a wishful eye

To Canaan's fair and happy land,

Where my possessions lie. 



I am bound for the promised land,

I am bound for the promised land;

Oh who will come and go with me?

I am bound for the promised land. 



O'er all those wide extended plains

Shines one eternal day;

There God the Son forever reigns,

And scatters night away. 



I am bound for the promised land,

I am bound for the promised land;

Oh who will come and go with me?

I am bound for the promised land. 



No chilling winds or poisonous breath

Can reach that healthful shore;

Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,

Are felt and feared no more. 



I am bound for the promised land,

I am bound for the promised land;

Oh who will come and go with me?

I am bound for the promised land. 



When I shall reach that happy place,

I'll be forever blessed,

For I shall see my Father's face,

And in His bosom rest.
