Hymns
I've Got a Mansion
words: Ira Stanphill
music: Ira Stanphill
Background music: Joyful Noise Music
I'm satisfied with just a cottage below,
A little silver and a little gold;
But in that city where the ransom will shine,
I want a gold one that's silver lined.
Tho' often tempted, tormented and tested
And like the prophet my pillow a stone;
And tho' I find here no permanent dwelling,
I know He'll give me a mansion my own.
Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely,
I'm not discouraged, I'm heaven bound;
I'm just a pilgrim in search of a city,
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown.
CHORUS
I've got a mansion just over the hilltop,
In that bright land where we'll never go old;
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold.
