Trying to Get a Glimpse

Standing by the river (Standing, I'm standing by the river deep and wide)

Gazing cross the raging tide (And I am gazing, I'm gazing 'cross the raging tide)

Standing by the river (Standing, I'm standing by the river, by the river)

Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side, other side

Standing on the banks of the river

Looking beyond, looking beyond (the river, ooh)

Standing on the banks of the river

Looking for a home, looking for a home (to heaven, ah)

Just to get a glimpse of my Jesus

And that home up there on high

Looking for the light of my Savior

Up in the sky, up in the sky

Standing by the river (Standing, I'm standing by the river deep and wide)

Gazing cross the raging tide (And I am gazing, I'm gazing 'cross the raging tide)

Standing by the river (Standing, I'm standing by the river, by the river)

Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side, other side

Standing there waiting for the boat man

Ready to go, I'm ready to go (to heaven, ooh)

Standing there waiting for the boatman

On that shore, on that shore (of Jordan, ah)

Just to get a glimpse of that city and behold my Savior there

Then I'll know forever I'll be in my Saviors care

Well, I was standing on the banks

When I saw that old ship take my momma home

I was standing on the banks when daddy crossed the river and left me all alone

Now I'm standing on the banks

Just a-waiting for my ride to heaven's golden shore

And I'm trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side, other side

Standing by the river (Standing, I'm standing by the river deep and wide)

Gazing cross the raging tide (And I am gazing, I'm gazing 'cross the raging tide)

Standing by the river (Standing, I'm standing by the river, by the river)

Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side, other side

Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other

Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other

Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other

Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side

Standing by the river (Standing, I'm standing by the river deep and wide)

Gazing cross the raging tide (And I am gazing, I'm gazing 'cross the raging tide)

Standing by the river (Standing, I'm standing by the river, by the river)

Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side, other side

(Oh yes I'm) standing by the river (Standing, I'm standing by the river deep and wide)

Gazing cross the raging tide (And I am gazing, I'm gazing 'cross the raging tide)

Standing by the river (Standing, I'm standing by the river, by the river)

Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other,

Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other,

Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side.
