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
An' 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
An' 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
An' 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
