Many years I've been looking for a place to call home But I failed to find it so I must travel on I don't care for fine mansions on earth's sinkin' sand Lord build me a cabin in the corner of Gloryland Lord build me just a cabin in the corner of Gloryland In the shade of his tree of life that it may ever stand Where I can hear the angels and shake Jesus' hand Lord build me a cabin in the corner of Gloryland Listen Lord I'm not askin' to live in the midst For I know that I'm not worthy of such splendor as this When I ask him for mercy while humbly I stand Lord build me a cabin in the corner of Gloryland Yes build me just a cabin in the corner of Gloryland In the shade of his tree of life that it may ever stand Where I can hear the angels and shake Jesus' hand Lord build me a cabin in the corner of Gloryland I've many dear loved one's who've gone on this way On the grapevine of mournin' shall I hear them all say Come and join in our singin' and play in our band Lord build me a cabin in the corner of gloryland Yes build me just a cabin in the corner of Gloryland In the shade of his tree of life that it may ever stand Where I can hear the angels and shake Jesus' hand Lord build me a cabin in the corner of Gloryland
