sunday song

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


*This is the song I used to hum/sing for Connor when he was a baby.  It has beautiful rhythm and he loved the peaceful flow.  Just so I remember years from now...Logan doesn't like the slowness of this one so Jesus Lover of My Soul's slightly quicker pace is his 'fave'.  Micah loves Lord (I love you Lord and I lift my voice...) and requested it every night from the time he was two so that is my nightly tradition when I sing to him and Connor before they go to sleep.  Their favorite line is take joy my King.  I'm not sure why but occasionally they ask me to repeat just that part :)
