I believe my steps are growing wearier each day   Still I've got a journey on my mind   Lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay   And my one regret is leaving you behind      If it proves to be his will that I am first to go   And somehow I have a feeling it will be   When it comes your times to travel like [Incomprehensible] 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 waiting, 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 flaring eyes   I'll just rest here on the 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 waiting, 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      And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan   I'll be waiting, 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
