This was a fun song that I did at Governor's School for the Arts for the Student Showcase, which was the talent show for the students attending. After I got back, everyone asked me to sing this song. I tried to capture the original quartet convention-style singing, which is how I originally heard this song.
lyrics
To Canaan's land I'm on my way
Where the soul (of man) never dies
My darkest night will turn to day
Where the soul (of man) never dies
No sad farewells
No tear dimmed eyes
Where all is love
And the soul never dies
(There will be no sad farewells
There will be no tear-dimmed eyes
Where all is peace and joy and love
And the soul of man never dies)
A rose is blooming there for me
Where the soul (of man) never dies
And I shall live eternity
Where the soul (of man) never dies
No sad farewells
No tear dimmed eyes
Where all is love
And the soul never dies
(There will be no sad farewells
There will be no tear-dimmed eyes
Where all is peace and joy and love
And the soul of man never dies)
