I’m Bound for the Promised Land Songtext
von Johnny Cash

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 la-nd
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 la-nd
I am bound for the promised land
Oh who will come and go with me
I am bound for the promised land

When shall I reach that happy place
And be forever blessed
When shall I see my Father's face
And in His bosom rest


I am bound for the promised la-nd
I am bound for the promised land
Oh who will come and go with me
I am bound for the promised land
