I’m Gonna Build on That Shore Songtext
von Sam Cooke & The Soul Stirrers

Well, I′m gonna build (right on that shore)
Right on that shore (build right on that shore)
I'm gonna build (build right on that shore)
Right on that shore (build right on that shore)

I′m gonna build for my Jesus (build for my Jesus)
For my Jesus seven more

You know I'm gonna pray (right on that shore)
Right on that shore (pray right on that shore)
Hey, I'm gonna pray child, (pray right on that shore)
Right on that shore (pray right on that shore)

Well, I′m gonna pray for my Jesus (pray for my Jesus)
For my Jesus seven more

Well, I′m walking down the road one day (gonna build, gonna build)
When I heard his Master voice (gonna build, gonna build)
Spirit came upon me (gonna build, gonna build)
Filled my heart with joy (gonna build, gonna build)


I started out for Canaan (gonna build, gonna build)
On that sun-listed shore (gonna build, gonna build)
I'm gonna build for my Jesus (build for my Jesus)
For my Jesus seven more (ohh)

Just let me build (right on that shore)
Right on that shore (build right on that shore)
I wanna build right (build right on that shore)
On that shore (build right on that shore)

Said, I wanna build for my Jesus (build for my Jesus)
For my Jesus seven more (oooh)

Just let me pray (right on that shore)
Right on that shore (pray right on that shore)
Oooh, I wanna pray right (pray right on that shore)
On that shore (pray right on that shore)

Lord, said I wanna pray for my Jesus (pray for my Jesus)
For my Jesus seven more

Well, I stood upright and I stood for God (wanna build, wanna build)
And I am standing here today (wanna build, wanna build)
Telling where my Jesus walked (wanna build, wanna build)
In that straight and narrow way (wanna build, wanna build)


I can′t turn back and I won't turn around (wanna build, wanna build)
I′m gonna stand right on that shore (wanna build, wanna build)
I'm gonna stand for my Jesus (stand for my Jesus)
For my Jesus seven more

Oooh Let me stand (right on that shore)
Right on that shore (stand right on that shore)
Oooh, let me stand right(stand right on that shore)
On that shore (stand right on that shore)

Said, I wanna stand for my Jesus (stand for my Jesus)
For my Jesus seven more

Well, it′s kiln is completed (wanna build, wanna build)
Going home to live with God (wanna build, wanna build)
Telling bout my troubles (wanna build, wanna build)
Down in this land I taught (wanna build, wanna build)

Just soon and thiefs that Zion (wanna build, wanna build)
I'm gonna live forever more (wanna build, wanna build)
I'm gonna live for my Jesus (live for my Jesus)
For my Jesus seven more (well)

Let me live, (right on that shore)
Right on that shore (live right on that shore)
Ooh, live right (live right on that shore)
On that shore (live right on that shore)

Said, I wanna live for my Jesus (live for my Jesus)
For my Jesus seven more
