Far Side Bank 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

And my one regret is leaving you behindIf it should prove to be His will that I am first to go

And somehow I've a feeling it will be

When it's your turn to travel likewise don't you feel lost

For I will be the first one that you seeAnd I'll be waiting on the far side bank of Jordan

I'll be waiting, drawing pictures in the sand

And when I see you coming, I will rise up with a shout

And go running through the shallow water reaching for your handThrough this world we labor hard to earn our meager fare

It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes

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

Until you come then we'll see paradiseAnd I'll be waiting on the far side bank of Jordan

I'll be waiting, drawing pictures in the sand

And when I see you coming, I will rise up with a shout

And go running through the shallow water reaching for your handAnd I'll be waiting on the far side bank of Jordan

I'll be waiting, drawing pictures in the sand

And when I see you coming, I will rise up with a shout

And go running through the shallow water reaching for your hand
