Im Bound For The Promised Land

D G C F

[Verse 1]

D                  G
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
C                  F
And cast a wishful eye
D7                G
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
C                    F
Where my possessions lie.

[Chorus]

D                           G
I am bound for the promised land,
C
I am bound for the promised land,
D                G
Oh who will come and go with me?
C                           F
I am bound for the promised land.

[Verse 2]

D7                  G
O'er all those wide extended plains
C                  F
Shines one eternal day;
D                         G
There God the Son forever reigns,
C                    F
And scatters night a-way.

[Chorus]

D7                          G
I am bound for the promised land,
C                                 D
I am bound for the promised land,
D7               G
Oh who will come and go with me?
C                           F
I am bound for the promised land.

[Verse 3]

D                 G
No chilling wind, no poison spread,
C                         F
Can reach that healthful shore;
D                    G
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
C                      F
Are felt and feared no more.

[Chorus]

D7                          G
I am bound for the promised land,
C                                 D
I am bound for the promised land,
D7               G
Oh who will come and go with me?
C                           F
I am bound for the promised land.

[Verse 4]

D                   G
When I shall reach that heavenly place,
C
And be forever blessed,
D
For I shall see my Father's face,
C
And in His bosom rest.
