Artist/Band: Daniel O'Donnell
Lyrics for Song: Far Side Banks Of Jordan
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Daniel O'Donnell



I believe my steps are growing wearier each day

Still I've got a journey on my mind.

The lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay

But my one regret is leaving you behind.



If it should prove 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 see.



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 water reaching for your hand.



Through this world we labor hard to earn our meager fare

It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes.

I'll just rest here on the shore and turn my head away

Until you come and we'll see Paradise.



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 water reaching for your hand.



Yes 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.


About Far Side Banks Of Jordan

Daniel O'Donnell's "Far Side Banks Of Jordan" stands as a poignant example of his signature acoustic folk style, characterized by intimate storytelling and melodic simplicity. Recorded in the early 2000s, the track exemplifies his approach to Christian music, blending traditional hymnody with contemporary folk sensibilities. The song reflects a period where O'Donnell frequently collaborated with Mary Duff, creating a duet legacy that emphasized spiritual themes and emotional depth. While often associated with broader collections like *Especially for You* or *Timeless*, this specific recording highlights his ability to craft personal narratives within a communal faith context. The composition avoids complex production, focusing instead on the raw power of the voice and acoustic instrumentation. It remains a staple in his discography, illustrating his commitment to lyrical clarity and musical integrity throughout his career.
