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