Far Celestial Shore Lyrics

by Mavis Staples

Theres a place i know for certain
I will someday see
When i lay down my burden
And look on galilee
Way beyond the surly bonds of earth and hate and war
On a far celestial shore

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e120761-mavis_staples~far_celestial_shore_lyrics.html ]
There's a valley of crystal waters
Vines adorn the hill
Every bough is heavy with fruit
You can pick your fill
There's a land of plenty where no child shall want for more
On a far celestial shore
And i'll know such jubilation
Joy and exaltation when i see my lord
Grey faces are not found
Hallelujah's rise up from a whisper to a roar
On a far celestial shore
Solo verse
Way beyond the surly bonds of earth and hate and war
On a far celestial shore
There's a land of plenty where no child shall want for more
On a far celestial shore
Hallelujah's rise up from a whisper to a roar
On a far celestial shore
On a far far celestial shore
On a far celestial shore
