Patty Loveless & Kris Kristofferson - Far Side Banks Of Jordan lyrics

rate me

I believe my steps are growing wearier each day<br />

I've got another journey on my mind<br />

Lures of this old world have ceased to make me wanna stay<br />

My one regret is leaving you behind<br />

<br />

If it proves to be His will, that I am first to go<br />

And somehow I've a feeling it will be<br />

Oh, when it comes your times to travel likewise don't feel lost<br />

For I will be the first one that you'll see<br />

<br />

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan<br />

I'll be sitting, drawing pictures in the sand<br />

And when I see you coming I will rise up with the shout<br />

And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand<br />

<br />

Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare<br />

It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes<br />

So I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away<br />

Until you come and we'll see paradise<br />

<br />

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan<br />

I'll be sitting, drawing pictures in the sand<br />

And when I see you coming I will rise up with the shout<br />

And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand
