Lyrics

Theres a place I know for certain I will someday see When I lay down my burden And look on galilee Way beyond the surly bonds of earth and hate and war On a far celestial shore There's a valley of crystal waters Vines adorn the hill Every bough is heavy with fruit You can pick your fill There's a land of plenty where no child shall want for more On a far celestial shore And I'll know such jubilation Joy and exaltation when i see my lord There's a choir and congregation Oooh how sweet the sound But laughter too is everywhere Grey faces are not found Hallelujah's rise up from a whisper to a roar On a far celestial shore Way beyond the surly bonds of earth and hate and war On a far celestial shore There's a land of plenty where no child shall want for more On a far celestial shore Hallelujah's rise up from a whisper to a roar On a far celestial shore On a far far celestial shore On a far celestial shore
