Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
 Still I've got another journey on my mind
 Lures of this old world have ceased to make  me wanna stay
 And my one regret is leaving you behind.
 (SAME)
 But if it proves to be his will that I am first to cross
 And somehow I'll be feeling it will be
 When it comes your time to travel like wise don't feel lost
 For I will be the first one that you'll 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 life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare
 It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
 So I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away
 Until you come then 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.
 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.
