Jars of Clay - On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand lyrics

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

And cast a wishful eye

To Canaan's fair and happy land

Where my possessions lie

All o'er those wide extended plains

Shines one eternal day

There God, the Son forever reigns

And scatters night away.

I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promise Land

I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promise Land

No chilling wind nor poisonous breath

Can reach that healthful shore

Where sickness, sorrow, pain and death

Are felt and feared no more

I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promise Land

I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promise Land

When shall I see that happy place

And be forever blessed

When shall I see my Father's face

And in His bosom rest

I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promise Land

I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the Promise Land
