I believe my steps are growing w earier each day
Still i got another journey on my m ind
Lures of this old world have ceased to m ake me wanna stay
And my one regret is leaving you beh ind.
B ut if it proves to be his will that I am first to cross
And somehow I'll be feeling it wi ll be
When it comes your time to travel like wise don't feel lost
For I will be the first one that you 'll see.
A nd I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I'll be s itting drawing pictures in the s and
And when I see you coming I will r ise up with a shout
And come r unning through the shallow water r eaching for your h and.
Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
So I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away
Until you come then we'll see paradise.
