Cold Jordan

Oh, sinning is a gentilized journey

Take Jesus as your daily guide

Though you may feel pure and saintly

Without Him walking by your side



And when you come to make your crossing

At the end of the pilgrim's way

If you ever will meet your Savior

You will surely meet Him on that day



Now look at that cold Jordan

Look at its deep water

Look at that wide river

Oh, heavy mighty billows roll



You better take Jesus with you

He's a true companion

Oh, I'm sure without Him

That you never will make it home



That awful day of judgment

Is coming in the by and by

We'll see our Lord descending

In the glory from on high



Oh, let us get in touch with Jesus

And in the special love of God

And maybe ever get ready

When he comes on Jordan's tide



Now look at that cold Jordan

Look at its deep water

Look at that wide river

Oh, heavy mighty billows roll



You better take Jesus with you

He's a true companion

Oh, I'm sure without Him that

You never will make it home



Now what you gonna do?

Oh, what you gonna say?

Oh, how you gonna feel

When you come to the end of the way?
