I think the song you're looking for was written by Ira Stanphill in 1949 and is called Mansion Over The Hilltop.
Hopefully this is the song you were looking for, God Bless!

Mansion Over The Hilltop

Verse: 1
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 some day yonder we will never more wonder,
but walk the streets that are purest gold.

Verse: 2
Though often temped tormented and tested,
and like the prophet my pillow a stone,
and though I find here no permanent dwelling,
I know he'll give me a mansion my own.

Verse: 3
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.
