Far Banks of Jordan

I believe my steps are growing wearier each day

Still I've got a journey on my mind

The lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay

But my one regret is leaving you behind

If it should prove to be

His will that

I am first to cross

And somehow

I've a feeling it will be

When it comes your time to travel likewise don't feel lost

For I will be the first one that you see

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of

Jordan I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand

And when I see you coming

I will rise up with a shout

And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand

Through this world we labor hard to earn our meager fare

It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes

I'll just rest here on the shore and turn my head away

Until you come and we'll see

Paradise And

I'll be waiting on the far side banks of

Jordan I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand

And when I see you coming

I will rise up with a shout

And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand

Yes I'll be waiting on the far side banks of

Jordan I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand

And when I see you coming

I will rise up with a shout

And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand
