Across the Bridge

(Walter Scott)



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 sorow

Across the bridge there's no more pain

The sun will shine across the river

And you'll never be unhappy again.



--- Instrumental ---



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, the sound of trumpet you will hear

And you'll behold the most precious place ever known to man.



Across the bridge there's no more sorow

Across the bridge there's no more pain

The sun will shine across the river

And you'll never be unhappy again.



Across the bridge there's no more sorow

Across the bridge there's no more pain

The sun will shine across the river

And you'll never be unhappy again...
