"Far Side Banks Of Jordan" lyrics

I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
Still I've got a journey on my mind
Lures of this old world is ceased to make me wanna stay
My one regret is leaving you behind

If it proves to be His will that I am first to go
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'll see

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks 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 come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand

Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away
And then you come then we'll see paradise

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks 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 come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks 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 come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand
