On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand Lyrics - Jars Of Clay

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 

And I am bound, I am bound 

I am bound for the Promise Land 

And 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 

And I am bound, I am bound 

I am bound for the Promise Land 

And I am bound, I am bound 

I am bound for the Promise Land, yeah 

When shall I see that happy place 

And be forever blessed? 

When shall I see my Father's face 

And in His bosom rest? 

And 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 

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
