cathedrals – mansion over the hilltop lyrics
i’m satisfied with just a cottage below,
a little silver and a little gold;
but in that city where the ransomed will shine,
i want a gold one that’s silver-lined.
chorus
i’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop,
in that bright land where we’ll never grow old;
and someday yonder we will never more wander,
but walk the streets that are purest gold.
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.
chorus
i’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop,
in that bright land where we’ll never grow old;
and someday yonder we will never more wander,
but walk the streets that are purest gold.
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 grow old;
and someday yonder we will never more wander,
but walk the streets that are purest gold.
