I’m Bound For The Kingdom

 John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 

[2] In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 


[3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.


Like many believers, I find hope for the future and comfort for the present in these scriptures. 


One of my favorites to play on the piano. 


I’m Bound For The Kingdom

__________________________


You may ask me where I'm headed;     —   you may ask me where I'm bound.     —   Well, I'm going to a country 'cross the sea.     —   And I know I'll have a mansion,     —   and I know I'll have a crown  —   Well, I'm bound for the Kingdom of the free. 


Chorus 

Yes, I'm bound for the Kingdom of the blessed and the free; — And my Jesus soon is coming after me.    —   There is nothing to compare with the glory over there,     —   Yes, I'm bound for the Kingdom of the free. 


Well, I'm going to a country where they say we'll never die; — Twill be endless joy and glory there for me.    —   Yes, I know I'll live forever in that city in the sky.     —   Well, I'm bound for the Kingdom of the free.
