Far Side Banks Of Jordan Lyrics - Alison Krauss

I believe my steps are growing wearier each day 

Still I've got a journey on my mind 

Lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay 

And my one regret is leaving you behind. 

If it proves to be his will that I am first to go 

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'll see. 

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan 

I'll be waiting 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.

--- Instrumental --- 

Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare 

It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes 

I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away 

And then you'll come then we'll see paradise. 

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan 

I'll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand 

And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout 

And come running through he shallow waters reaching for your hand. 

And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan 

I'll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand 

And when I see you coming I will rise up with the shout 

And come running through he shallow waters reaching for your hand...
