G D7
I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
G
Still I’ve got a journey on my mind
D7
Lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay
G
And my one regret is leaving you behind
D7
But if it proves to be his will that I am first to go
G
And somehow I’ve a feeling it will be
D7
When it comes your time to travel likewise don’t you feel lost
G
For I will be the first one that you see
G
And I’ll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
C G
I’ll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand
D7 G
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
C G D7 G
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand
D7
Through this life we have labored hard to earn our meager fare
G
It’s brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
D7
I’ll just rest here on the shore and turn my eyes away
G
Until you come and then we’ll see paradise
Repeat #3
