Mansion Over the Hilltop Hymn Lyrics - Elvis Presley

Mansion Over the Hilltop Hymn Lyrics Elvis Presley.

I’m satisfied with just a cottage below
A little silver and little gold
But in that city where the ransomed will shine
I want a gold one that’s silver lined

I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we’ll never grow old
And some day yonder we’ll never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

Though often tempted, tormented and tested
And like the prophet, my pillow is stone
I know He’ll give e a mansion my own

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 wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

Don’t think my poor or deserted or lonely
I’m not discouraged ‘cuz I’m Heaven bound
I’m just a pilgrim in search of a city
I want a mansion, a robe, a crown

I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we’ll never grow old
And some day yonder we’ll never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

We’ll walk on streets that are purest gold
