This is a traditional hymn made into a praise song by Jars of Clay on their “Redemption Hymns” CD. Samuel Stennett wrote the words in the 18th century and Christopher Miner set them to a new tune in 1997. I love it because it sings of hope in heaven someday. My thanks to Kristen Stewart (not that one!) for introducing me to it.

On Jordan??s stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan??s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.

O??er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away.

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.

No chilling winds or poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.

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.

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

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.

This would have to be done by Jars of Clay and this video has the words without weird scene changes.
