Tennessee Ernie Ford - Ivory Palaces Lyrics

Tennessee Ernie Ford Lyrics

"Ivory Palaces"

My Lord has garments so wondrous fine
And myrrh their texture fills
Its fragrance reached to this heart of mine
With joy my being thrills

Out of the ivory palaces
Into a world of woe
Only His great eternal love
Made my Savior go

His life had also its sorrows sore
For aloes had a part
And when I think of the cross He bore
My eyes with teardrops start

In garments glorious He will come
To open wide the door
And I shall enter my heavenly home
To dwell forevermore

Out of the ivory palaces
Into a world of woe
Only His great eternal love
Made my Savior (Made my Savior) go
