Johnny Cash — Im Bound for the Promised Land

[Verse 1] On Jordan's stormy banks I stand And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land Where my possessions lie [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Over all those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day There God, the Son forever reigns And scatters night away [Chorus] [Verse 3] No chilling winds or poisonous breath Can reach that healthful shore Sickness and sorrow, pain and death Are felt and feared no more [Chorus] [Outro] 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
