Jordan

(Fred Rich)



Oh, come in as you tread life's journey

Take Jesus as your daily guide

Though you may feel pure and safely

Without him walking by your side.



But when you come to make the crossing

At the endin' of your pilgim's way

If you ever will meet our Saviour

You'll surely meet him on that day.



Well, look at that cold Jordan, look at these deep waters

Look at that wide river, oh hear the mighty billows roar

You'd better take Jesus with you, He's a true companion

For I'm sure without him that you never will make it o'er.

That awful day of judgement

Is coming in the by and by

We'll see our Lord descending

In Glory from on high.



So let us keep in touch with Jesus

and in his grace the love of God

That we may be ever called ready

when he calls us over Jordan's tide.



Now look at that cold Jordan, look at these deep waters

Look at that wide river, oh hear the mighty billows roar

You'd better take Jesus with you, He's a true companion

For I'm sure without him that you never will make it o'er.



Oh what, what you gonna do

Oh what, what you gonna say

Oh, how how you gonna feel

When you come to the end of the way?...
