Far Side Banks of Jordan

I'll admit my steps are growing wearier each day Still I've got a certain journey on my mind The lures of this ol' world have ceased to make me wanna stay My one regret is leaving you behind If it proves to be His will that I'm the first to cross And somehow I've a feeling it will be When it comes your turn to travel likewise, don't feel lost For I will be the first one that you'll see 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 the shout And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand Through this life we've labored long to earn a meager fare It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes So I'll just rest here on the shore and turn my eyes away Until you come, then we'll see paradise 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 the shout And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand 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 the shout And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand
