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
