Promised Land
Fee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm going to the Promised Land
Everybody come on and take my hand
I'm going up to Glory Land
I'm gonna see my Lord,
Ain't gonna cry no more

I'm going to the Promised Land
Everybody come on and take my hand
I'm going up to Glory Land
I'm gonna see my Lord,
Ain't gonna cry no more

This life is filled with woes and with sorrow, and tragedies untold
But my Jesus offers hope for tomorrow
Heaven is my home

I'm going to the Promised Land
Everybody come on and take my hand
I'm going up to Glory Land
I'm gonna see my Lord,
Ain't gonna cry no more

When they lay me underneath a heavy stone
And the cold grave grips my bones
Don't cry for me for in Glory will be
Dancing around the throne

I'm going to the Promised Land
Everybody come on and take my hand
I'm going up to Glory Land
I'm gonna see my Lord,
Ain't gonna cry no more

I'm going to the Promised Land
Everybody come on and take my hand
I'm going up to Glory Land
I'm gonna see my Lord,
Ain't gonna cry no more

I'm going to see my Savior
I'm going to see my Lord
I'm going to sing forever
Ain't gonna cry no more

I'm going to see my Savior
I'm going to see my Lord
I'm going to sing forever
Ain't gonna cry no more

I'm going to the Promised Land
Everybody come on and take my hand
I'm going up to Glory Land
I'm gonna see my Lord,
Ain't gonna cry no more

I'm going to the Promised Land
Everybody come on and take my hand
I'm going up to Glory Land




I'm gonna see my Lord,
Ain't gonna cry no more
