Many years I've been lookin' 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 sinkin' 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
Chorus
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
Chorus
I have many loved ones who have gone on this way
On that great final morning shall I hear them say
Come and join in the singin' and play in our band
Lord, build me a cabin in the corner of glory land
