Far Side Bank Of Jordan - Alison Krauss, The Cox Family

I believe my steps are growing wearier each day

I’ve got another journey on my mind

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

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

Oh, when it comes your times to travel likewise don’t feel lost

For I will be the first one that you’ll see

And 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 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 and we’ll see paradise

And 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
