Lord, Build me a Cabin, memories of Noble Miller, Sr.
“Lord, Build Me a Cabin in the Corner of Glory Land,” is an old country gospel song that my father would often sing, while sitting on the back porch swing, in the cool of the afternoon, just looking out toward the barn, and the pasture where the milk cow might be grazing. Years after his passing, I found the song on YouTube, and it brings back memories of peaceful times with my dad.
