7. FAR SIDE BANKS OF JORDAN

I BELIEVE MY STEPS A GROWING WEARIER EACH DAY
STILL I GOT A JOURNEY ON MY MIND
THE HURTS OF THIS OLD WORLD HAVE CEASED TO MAKE ME WANT TO STAY
AND MY ONE REGRET IS LEAVING YOU BEHIND

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

CHORUS
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 COMING RUNNING THROUGH THE SHALLOW WATERS
REACHING FOR YOUR HAND

IN THIS LIFE WE LABORED HARD TO EARN OUR MEAGER SHARE
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 WE'LL SEE PARADISE.
