1)
Many years I've been looking for a place to call home
But I've failed here to find it so I must travel on
I don't care for fine mansions on earth's sinking sand
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
Chorus)
Yes, build me just a cabin in the corner of glory land
In the shade of the tree of life that it may ever stand
Where I can just hear the angels sing and shake Jesus' hand
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
2)
Blessed Lord, I'm not asking to live in the midst
For I know I'm not worthy of such splendor as this
But I'm asking for mercy while humbly I stand
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
3)
I have many dear loved ones who have gone on this way
On that great final morning shall I hear them all say
Come and join in our singing and play in our band
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
