Cold Jordan Lyrics - Grateful Dead

Oh, sinning is a gentilized journey 

Take Jesus as your daily guide 

Though you may feel pure and saintly 

Without Him walking by your side 

And when you come to make your crossing 

At the end of the pilgrim's way 

If you ever will meet your Savior 

You will surely meet Him on that day 

Now look at that cold Jordan 

Look at its deep water 

Look at that wide river 

Oh, heavy mighty billows roll 

You better take Jesus with you 

He's a true companion 

Oh, I'm sure without Him 

That you never will make it home 

That awful day of judgment 

Is coming in the by and by 

We'll see our Lord descending 

In the glory from on high 

Oh, let us get in touch with Jesus 

And in the special love of God 

And maybe ever get ready 

When he comes on Jordan's tide 

Now look at that cold Jordan 

Look at its deep water 

Look at that wide river 

Oh, heavy mighty billows roll 

You better take Jesus with you 

He's a true companion 

Oh, I'm sure without Him that 

You never will make it home 

Now what you gonna do? 

Oh, what you gonna say? 

Oh, how you gonna feel 

When you come to the end of the way?
