I have always loved hearing this wonderful old song. It's one of many written by Albert Brumley. If we thumb through a lot of our song books, we will see many of the songs by Mr. Brumley, many of which we can sing without looking at the words. Songs such as, "I'll Fly Away", "If We Never Meet Again", "Jesus Hold My Hand", "I'll Meet You In The Morning", "Turn Your Radio On", "Led By The Master's Hand" and "I'd Rather Be An Old Time Christian" are just few that I'll mention. He spent his life writing gospel songs as it is said he was too shy to sing so he would just write. Mr. Brumley surely had a great influence on gospel music and the songs we sing!
"There's a city of light where there cometh no night for the sun never sets in the sky. In the bible we're told that the streets are pure gold and a cool gentle river runs by.
I'm bound for that city, God's holy white city, oh yes I am I'll never turn back to this world anymore. No matter how rough may be the way, No matter how oft I stop to pray, I'm bound for that city on that evergreen shore.
Little children will play and our hearts will be gay As we stroll through that city of gold. No more dying up there no more sorrow to bear and nobody will be feeble and old."
I pray you will be blessed hearing "I'm Bound For That City" today!
