_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] When I come [D] to the [Dbm] river _ at [Eb] ending [Bb] of day,
When [F] the last [B] winds [Eb] of [B] sorrow have [Bb] blown,
_ _ There'll [Db] be somebody [A] waiting _ [F] to show me the [Bb] way. _
I won't [Dm] have to [Eb] cross _ [Dm] Jordan [B] _ _ [Bb] _ alone.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] It's a cold, [Bb] dreary day, [B] and I'm laying [A] in my room.
[Bb] _ _ [E] You see, I [Db] don't have long to [Bb] live, and I'll be leaving here soon.
_ [B] Oh, I've had a [Dm] good life with [Cm] so many [Bb] happy _ [F] [A] memories,
And I [G] relived them all today, [Bb] _ [A] and they were [Bb] so real to me.
_ [Ebm] I saw my [Db] daddy a-working in the field, and [D] I heard Mama [Bb] pray again,
[D] And even saw our little preacher [Db] roll up his sleeves and [Bb] preach on the devil and sin.
_ [Dm] _ _ [E]
[D] I remember when I married my [A] little woman, [Db] and how we'd toil _ _ [A]-raise our [Bb] family, _
And how I'd seen that she'd strive and do things every day to [Dbm] make it easier [Bb] on me.
_ _ [Gm] You see, [F]
God gave us [Cm] two little [Bb] girls, and [Ab] again [Bb] today, I heard them [Dm] cry.
_ [C] I heard them [F] laugh, _ saw them [A] play, [Dm] but [A] now I've [Bb] told them goodbye.
_ _ _ [Bm] [C] Oh, this [Bb] room is _ cold, and [D] there's somebody [A] here I've never met before.
_ [Bb] Who it is?
[B] It's old man [Eb] Death.
_ [Bb] I saw him when he came through the door.
_ _ Listen, _ he's speaking now, and I can [D] hardly see.
_ [G] _ Okay, [Db] old boy, [C]
your time [Bb] is up.
You'd better come and go with me.
I'll _ _ admit I'm scared, [Db] but I'm holding to my wife's little [Bb] hand. _ _
But I said, _ [Bbm] okay, Mr.
Death, _ [D] but before I [Bb] go, [Db] there's something [A] you've got to understand.
_ You [Bb] don't scare [Cm] me none.
[B] I got a friend who's going with [Bb] me.
_ [E]
He walked up [G] Calvary's Hill [C] two thousand years [Bb] ago and gave his life.
Now, [A] _ don't you [Bb] see _ [D] why he even conquered [G] [Bb] you, Mr.
Death, [C] and he paid the price of [Dm] sin,
_ [A] and he arose from that old grave, [D] do you understand [Dm] me?
_ [F] And he's coming back [Bb] again.
_ [C] When I've been [D] there ten thousand [Eb] [C] years, bright shining as the [Eb] sun,
_ I'll [D] have [B] no less days to sing [Eb] my God's [Bb] praise than when I first [Eb] begun.
_ Oh, I can [Bb] see old [Db] Jordan, [B] but I have [F] Jesus by the hand.
[Bb] This is why you hold no [Gbm] fear from me, do you [Bb] understand?
_ [F] Now go ahead and take [Bb] my body, but you can't touch my soul.
It belongs to Jesus, [Ab] and over him [Bb] you have no control.
[Eb] _ Mr.
Death, [D] where is [A] thy sting, _ O [Bb] grave?
_ _ _ [F] _ [A] Let's go now. _
[B] I want to rest in the arms [G] of Jesus [Bb] _
throughout eternity.
_ _ _ [D] When [Bb] the darkness I see, _ _ he'll be [Eb] _ waiting _ [G] for [Dm] _
[Eb] me.
_ _ [A] I [Bb] won't have _ to [D] cross _ [Dm]
Jordan _ [Cm] _ [A] alone.
