Spoken:

I'd like to do one for you now, ladies and gentlemen.
Tryin' to get these songs in 'cause I wanna get 'em
on the album, if we possibly can.

This is, um a song that-a Cecil Harrison wrote.
Ah, it's a great song.
And ah, the name of it's, 'I Know That Jesus Will Be There'
Waitin' for me.
Come to the crossroads of my life.
Took the right one, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

(Song Begins)

When my body breathes it's last breath
And the sunrise, old Jerry fails to see
When I walk that long lonesome mile
Then there will be eternal peace for me

Back in my younger by-gone years
I had reached the crossroads of my life
Haunted by the sin that I was living in
I had to chose the road that lead to, Jesus Christ

Now, I'm waiting for the harvest
Of the seeds that I have sewn
Oh I know, that they will lead me to
To the right hand of God's Throne

Yes, the path was long and narrow
But each step I took with care
When life's burdens all over
My precious Jesus, will be there

I can almost hear the angels singin'
And the gates, those gates of pearl
Will open wide, Hallelujah!
Um-mum, the mystery of it all
Is now unfolding
And my reward will be eternal
Eternal peace, inside

Oh, I'm waiting for the harvest
Of the seeds that I have sewn
Oh I know, that they will lead me to
To the right hand of God's Throne

The path was long and narrow
But each step I took with care
When life's burdens are over
I know that Jesus, He will be there.
