Text:I'm Gonna Sing

16c. I'm Gonna Sing

Chorus:
I'm gonna sing, sing sing, I'm gonna shout, shout shout,
I'm gonna sing, I'm gonna shout, Praise the Lord.
When those gates swing open wide, I'm gonna sit by Jesus' side,
I'm gonna sing, I'm gonna shout, Praise the Lord.

1 Gonna lay my burden down,
gonna lay my burden down,
gonna lay my burden down,
by and by, by and by. [Chorus]

2 Ain't gonna run when it gets hard,
ain't gonna run when it gets hard,
ain't gonna run when it gets hard,
by and by, by and by. [Chorus]

3 I'm gonna stand on the Love of God,
I'm gonna stand on the Love of God,
I'm gonna stand on the Love of God,
by and by, by and by. [Chorus]

4 When the Saints go marchin' in,
when the Saints go marchin' in,
when the Saints go marchin' in,
by and by, by and by. [Chorus]

5 Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,
Swing low, sweet chariot,
swing low, sweet chariot,
by and by, by and by. [Chorus]

6 Down by the Riverside,
down by the riverside,
down by the riverside,
by and by, by and by. [Chorus]

7 This Train is bound for Glory,
this train is bound for glory,
this train is bound for glory,
by and by, by and by. [Chorus]
