Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team


I have built my life on the solid Rock

Far away from the sinking sand

And I cast my eyes to the home that waits

On the banks of the Promised Land


There?s a song of praise that is lifted there

By the saints and the angel band

And I long to go and to join the choir

On the banks of the Promised Land


Hallelujah, what a morning

When I reach for that nail-scarred hand

And I'm led from grace to glory

On the banks of the Promised Land


Every grief and pain that has found me here

Jesus knows, and He understands

They'll be washed away as I cross death's stream

To the banks of the Promised Land


Hallelujah, what a morning

When I reach for that nail-scarred hand

And I'm led from grace to glory

On the banks of the Promised Land


Then I'll see the face of my Savior dear

Beckoned close by His sweet command

All my burdens gone; I will rest at last

On the banks of the Promised Land


Hallelujah, what a morning

When I reach for that nail-scarred hand

And I'm led from grace to glory

On the banks of the Promised Land


Oh, who will come and go with me?

I am bound for the promised land


Hallelujah, what a morning

When I reach for that nail-scarred hand

And I'm led from grace to glory

On the banks of the Promised Land
