A E
I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
A
Still I’ve got another journey on my mind
E
Lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay
A
And my one regret is leaving you behind
A E
But if it proves to be his will that I am first to cross
A
And somehow I’ve a feeling it will be
E
When it comes your time to travel likewise don’t feel lost
A
For I will be the first one that you’ll see
CHORUS:
A
And I’ll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
D A
I’ll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
E A
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
D A E A
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand
A E
Through this life we labored hard to earn our meager fare
A
It’s brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
E
So I’ll just rest here on the shore and turn my eyes away
A
Until you come and then we’ll see paradise
CHORUS:
A
And I’ll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
D A
I’ll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
E A
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
D A E A
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand
CHORUS:
A
And I’ll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
D A
I’ll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
E A
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
D A E A
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand
