Subject: Lyr Add: I'M GONNA BUILD ON THAT SHORE
Jerry, I'll post the words.

I'M GONNA BUILD ON THAT SHORE
(The Soul Stirrers, rec. 1951)

Well, I'm gonna build right on that shore,
I'm gonna build right on that shore.
I'm gonna build for my Jesus,
For my Jesus evermore.

I'm gonna pray right on that shore,
I'm gonna pray, child, right on that shore.
Well, I'm gonna pray for my Jesus,
For my Jesus evermore.

Well, I was walking down the road one day,
When I heard the Master's voice.
Spirit came upon me, filled my heart with joy,
I started off to Canaan on that celestial shore.
I'm gonna build for my Jesus,
For my Jesus evermore.

Just let me build right on that shore,
I wanna build right on that shore.
I'm gonna build for my Jesus,
For my Jesus evermore.

Let me pray right on that shore,
Oh, I'm gonna pray right on that shore.
Lord, I'm gonna pray for my Jesus,
For my Jesus evermore.

Well, I stood upright and I stood for God,
And I'm standing here today,
Tell you where my Jesus walked
On that straight and narrow way.

I can't turn back and won't turn around,
Gonna stand right on that shore.
I'm gonna stand for my Jesus,
For my Jesus evermore.

Let me stand right on that shore,
Oh, let me stand right on that shore.
Said I wanna stand for my Jesus,
For my Jesus evermore.

Well, when this building is completed,
Going home to live with God,
Tell you about my troubles
Down in this land I toil.

Just so I can feast at Zion,
Gonna live forevermore.
I'm gonna live for my Jesus,
For my Jesus evermore.

Well, I'm gonna build right on that shore,
Oh, I'm gonna build right on that shore.
I'm gonna live for my Jesus,
For my Jesus evermore.
