Representative Text

1 I have a Father in the promised land,
I have a Father in the promised land;
My Father calls me, I must go
To meet him in the promised land.

Chorus:
I'll away, I'll away to the promised land,
I'll away, I'll away to the promised land.
My Father calls me, I must go
To meet him in the promised land.

2 I have a Saviour in the promised land;
My Saviour calls me, I must go
To meet him in the promised land.
I'll away, I'll away to the promised land;
My Saviour calls me, I must go
To meet him in the promised land.

3 I have a crown in the promised land;
When Jesus calls me, I must go
To wear it in the promised land.
I'll away, I'll away to the promised land;
When Jesus calls me, I must go
To wear it in the promised land.

4 I hope to meet you in the promised land:
At Jesus' feet, a joyous band,
We'll praise him in the promised land,
We'll away, we'll away to the promised land;
At Jesus' feet, a joyous band.
We'll praise him in the promised land.
