"Far Side Banks of Jordan"

as performed by:

The Statler Brothers

I'll admit my steps are growing wearier each day

Still I've got a certain journey on my mind

Cares of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay

my one regret is leaving you behind.

If it proves to be His will that I am first to cross

somehow I've a feeling it will be

When it comes your time 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 a shout

And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand.

Through this life we've labored long to earn our meager fare

It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes

I'll just rest there on this shore and turn my eyes away

until you come then 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 a shout

And come running through the shallow waters reaching for you hand.

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 a shout

And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand.

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan

Gaynelle I love you and will miss you dearly. I am so very sad you are gone but very thankful you didn't suffer in the end. All my hugs & kisses for you.
