I Won't Have to Cross Jordan Alone

Skeeter Davis · Hand in Hand With Jesus (RCA Victor) [1967]

(Thomas Ramsey - Charles E. Durham)



When I come to the river at ending of day

When the last winds of sorrow have blown

There'll be somebody waiting to show me the way

I won't have to cross Jordan alone.



I won't have to cross Jordan alone

Jesus died all my sins to atone

In the darkness I see he'll be waiting for me

I won't have to cross Jordan alone.



--- Instrumental ---



Often times I'm forsaken and weary and sad

When it seems that my friends have all gone

There is one thought that cheers me and makes my heart glad

I won't have to cross Jordan alone.



I won't have to cross Jordan alone

Jesus died all my sins to atone

In the darkness I see he'll be waiting for me

I won't have to cross Jordan alone...
