Land Beyond the River

Verse 1

I’ve read about a city, so bright and fair,

Where the street is gold, and no burdens there.

No more tears to cry, no more nights so long,

Just the saints of God singin’ Heaven’s song.

Chorus

I’m goin’ to that land beyond the river,

Where the gates swing wide for me.

I’ll meet my Lord and praise Him forever,

In that home for eternity.

Every trial here will be forgotten,

Every chain will fall away—

I’m goin’ to that land beyond the river,

I might see that land today!

Verse 2

I’ve felt His hand through the darkest night,

I’ve walked by faith, not by my sight.

But I know one day, when the trumpet sounds,

I’ll trade this robe for a shining crown.

Chorus

I’m goin’ to that land beyond the river,

Where the gates swing wide for me.

I’ll meet my Lord and praise Him forever,

In that home for eternity.

Every trial here will be forgotten,

Every chain will fall away—

I’m goin’ to that land beyond the river,

I might see that land today!

Bridge

Oh, I see the saints and loved ones there,

I hear the singing in the air!

Glory’s light is calling me—

Soon my Savior’s face I’ll see!

Final Chorus

I’m goin’ to that land beyond the river,

Where the gates swing wide for me.

I’ll meet my Lord and praise Him forever,

In that home for eternity.

Every trial here will be forgotten,

Every chain will fall away—

I’m goin’ to that land beyond the river,

I might see that land today!

Tag

Yes, I’m goin’ to that land beyond the river…

I might see that land today!
