I Want to Know More About My Lord

[Guest]

This old hymn just came to my mind and I couldn't find the lyrics in our church hymnals.

Lyrics:

While travelling through this world of sorrow
I'm on my way to gloryland
I'll not turn back for some tomorrow
My trials here I'll understand

Chorus:
I want to know more (I want to know more) about my Jesus (yes I do)
I want to know more (yes I want to know more) about my Lord (my blessed Lord)
I want to know more (I want to know more) about that mansion (heavenly mansion)
I'm gonna receive (I'm gonna receive) as my reward (my rich reward)
I want to know more (I want to know more) about that homeland (wonderful homeland)
And I mean to go there (I mean to go there) someday, somehow (someday, somehow)
And after I reach (after I reach) that heavenly city (heavenly city)
I mean to know more (yes I'm gonna know more) that I know now (than I know now)

I'm glad I know the blesses Savior
for through his blood, he set me free
though rough the road
I shall not waver
for some glad day
his face i'll see

Chorus

He promised when His soul ascended
"I'm coming back" the Lord did say
If on His promise you've depended
On wings of love you'll soar away

Repeat Chorus
