Many years I've been lookin' for a place to call home   But I still didn't find it so I must travel on   I don't care for the 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      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 the singin' and play in our band   Lord build me a cabin in the corner of gloryland
