Lyrics for Lord, Build Me a Cabin in Glory
Many years, I've been lookin' for a place to call home But I still didn't find it, so I must travel on I don't care for the fine mansions on Earth's sinkin' sand Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land Lord, build me just a cabin in the corner of glory land In the shade of his tree of life that it may ever stand Where I can hear the angels and shake Jesus' hand Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land Listen Lord, I'm not askin' to live in the midst For I know that I'm not worthy of such splendor as this When I ask Him for mercy while humbly I stand Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land Lord, build me just a cabin in the corner of glory land In the shade of his tree of life that it may ever stand Where I can hear the angels and shake Jesus' hand Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land I've many dear loved ones who've gone on this way On the grapevine of mournin' shall I hear them all say Come and join in the singin' and play in our band Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land Lord, build me just a cabin in the corner of glory land In the shade of his tree of life that it may ever stand Where I can hear the angels and shake Jesus' hand Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
