Far Side Banks of Jordan

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
 And 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
 And 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
 And 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
