Male: I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
Still I've got another journey on my mind
Lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay
Female: But if it proves to be his will that I am first to cross
And somehow I've a feeling it will be
When it comes your time to travel likewise don't feel lost
For I will be the first one that you'll see
CHORUS:
And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand
Male: Through this life we labored hard to earn our meager fare
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
Female: So I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away
Until you come and we'll see paradise
Repeat Chorus x2
