I'm Bound for That City
by Wilburn & Wilburn

Album: Here Comes Sunday

There's a city of light
Where there cometh no night
For the sun never sets in the sky
Oh, in the Bible we're told
That the streets are pure gold
And a cool gentle river runs by

I'm bound for that city
God's Holy white city
Oh, yes, I am
I'll never turn back
To this world anymore
No matter how rough may be the way
No matter how oft I stop to pray
I'm bound for that city
On that ever green shore

Little children will play
And all our hearts will be gay
As we stroll through that city of gold, Lord
No more dying up there
No more burdens we're gonna bear
For nobody will be feeble or old

I'm bound for that city
God's Holy white city
Oh, yes, I am
I'll never turn back
To this world anymore, oh...
No matter how rough may be the way
No matter how oft I stop to pray
I'm bound for that city
On that ever green shore

Heaven will surely be worth it all
Where all the sorrows that here befall
After this life with all its strife
Heaven will surely be worth it all

No matter how rough may be the way
No matter how oft I stop to pray
I'm bound for that city
On that ever green shore

Well, no matter how rough may be the way
No matter how oft I stop to pray
I'm bound for that city
On that ever green shore
