Oh the river of death lies just before me   Can I find a place that I can cross   Or will I be in sin forever   Oh Lord don't let my soul be lost      Oh I wanna walk with Christ my savior   For he's the one that'll guide me on   All through my life I've been a sinner   Now I'm right with God so I'm travelling home      Oh I can hear my savior calling   To me his voice sounds sweet and low   For me I hear my loved ones cheering   Oh, praise the Lord I'm ready to go      My life down here will soon be over   And this old world holds nothing for me   He saved my soul and He made me happy   That beautiful land I'm going to see
