On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand


Guitars capo @ 1st fret to play in E

Verse 1:

            D      G       D
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

                   A
and cast a wishful eye

   D                 G     D
to Canaan's fair and happy land

      D     A        D
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:

     D           A
I am bound, I am bound,

     G             A        D
I am bound for the promised land.

     D           A
I am bound, I am bound,

     G             A        D
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.

repeat Chorus


Verse 4:

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