I Will Cross O'er the River - John Anderson

I will cross o’er the river

And rest in the shade of the trees

There’s someone 'cross that river

I can hear familiar voices calling me

I know I’ll miss my family

I hope that they won’t worry for too long

'Cause it’s only 'cross the river

And I’ll be that much closer to my home

I will cross o’er the river

I’ve got to make it to the other shore

There’s something 'cross that river

That’s powerful and cannot be ignored

I can see the grass is greener

A perfect spot is waiting there for me

I will cross o’er the river

And rest in the shade of the trees

No, it’s not so big a river

It’s not so deep and wide

I don’t think I’ll be coming back

From the other side

No, it’s not so big a river

It’s not so deep and wide

But I know I won’t be coming back

From the other side

I will cross o’er the river

And rest in the shade of the trees

There’s someone 'cross that river

I can hear familiar voices calling me

I know I’ll miss my family

And I hope that they won’t worry for too long

'Cause it’s only 'cross the river

And I’ll be that much closer to my home

It’s only 'cross the river

And I’ll be that much closer to my home
