I Am Bound For The Promised Land (2019 - Remaster)

Friends, right now is Hymn Time
All the boys gathering around
We gon' go back and get one of the first things I ever learned
This is an old
Think Louis might even join in with us on this one
(Yeah, I'm gon' sing on this one)
You gon' sing on this one?
You and-, you and Burt go 'head fight over who's gon' sing bass here
We gonna join up here on: "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
Shine on 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 nor 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 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 land
I am bound for the promised land
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land

I want you boys to realise that I hit one of the mellowest notes I've ever hit in my life
On the end of that song
Now I'm bound for the promised land
How about that?
That pretty good Jimmy?
