Far Side Banks Of Jordan

I believe my steps are growing wearier each day

Still I´ve got a journey on my mind

Lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay

And my one regret is leaving you behind

But if it proves to be his will that I am first to go

And somehow I´ve a feeling it will be

When it comes your time to travel likewise don´t you feel lost

For I will be the first one that you 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 have labored hard to earn our meager fare

It´s brought us trembling hands and failing eyes

I´ll just rest here on the shore and turn my eyes away

Until you come and 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
