I'm Bound For The Promised Land

Johnny Cash

I'm Bound For The Promised Land 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 land, 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 land, I am bound for the promised land; Oh who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land. No chilling winds or poisonous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more. 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. 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.

Revelation 21:1-3                                Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
