Bukka White - Promise True and Grand lyrics
1a. I have read of the promise true and grand, 1b. A wonderful Savior's heavenly land 1c. Where all of his angels dwell with Christ eternally, 1d. Where never a trouble we shall rue, 1e. No trouble of God's ways follow the soul. 1f. This promise was made for you and me. How long will it be? 2a. How long, blessed Son, oh, will it fear 2b. And tell it our burdens lay waste up there? 2c. How long till I feel that bond frees me? 2d. I shall be whole with the fire that feeds me, 2e. Offers that lovely heavenly home beyond the sea. 3a. How long must I toil down below? 3b. How long must I cry, cry tears that flow? 3c. How long till I view that Promised Land, 3d. And Johnny with the snow-white angels stand? 3e. Lordy, hear our plea. How long will it be? 4a. In that land of gilt so light, 4b. Where Jesus the lamb will be the night, 4c. That river of life that holds its own will flow so free, 4d. And in the blest city, we are told, 4e. There the streets are paved with the purest gold. 4f. This promise was made for you and me. How long will it be? 5a. How long blessed smile will appear, 5b. And tell us our burden lay waste up there? 5c. How long till I view that Promised Land, 5d. And Johnny with the snow-white angels stand? 5e. Lordy, hear our plea. How long will it be? 6a. Well, they tell from the ... 6b. And suffering too we'll all be over. 6c. We survived our weeks of prison free as the lamb on Calvary. 6d. We'll meet our deliv'rance on the sand. 6e. We can join 'em and we'll clasp them by the hand, 6f. This promise was made by you and me. How long will it be? 7a. How long blessed smile will appear 7b. I'm telling how I feel when we confess 7c. How long till I view that final places 7d. And drive me home with smiling faces, 7e. Up in that lovely heavenly home beyond the sea? 8a. How long must I toil down below? 8b. How long does love will it be? 8c. How long till I view that Promised Land, 8d. And Dolly, with the snow-white angels stand? 8e. Lordy, hear our plea. How long will it be? |
