I have lived a life of sin, in this world I'm living in   I have done forbidden things I shouldn't do   I asked a beggar along the way if he could tell me where to stay   Where I could find real happiness and love that's true   Across the bridge there's no more sorrow    across the bridge there's no more pain   The sun will shine across the river    and you'll never be unhappy again   [ organ ]   Follow the footsteps of the King, till you hear the voices ring   They'll be singing out the glory of the Land   The river Jordan will be near,and the sound of trumpet you will hear   And you'll behold the most precious place never known to man   Across the bridge there's no more sorrow...   Across the bridge there's no more sorrow...
