We Sing of a Brighter Tomorrow

You are not yet home.

Christians are exiles, pilgrims. This world, in its current state, is not our home. We long for the new heavens and new earth God has promised.

This Sunday we sing a new song to help remind us of that promise. Listen above and check out the lyrics below.

ON JORDAN'S STORMY BANKS

VERSE 1
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land
Where my possessions lie

VERSE 2
All o'er those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day
There God the Son forever reigns
And scatters night away

CHORUS
I am bound (I am bound) 
I am bound (I am bound) 
I am bound for the promised land
I am bound (I am bound) 
I am bound (I am bound) 
I am bound for the promised land

VERSE 3
No chilling winds nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore
Sickness, sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared no more

VERSE 4
When shall I reach that happy place
And be forever blessed?
When shall I see my Father's face
And in His bosom rest?
