[C] I come to the banks of the Jordan River and it has kind of a special meaning to me.
[Bb] Seems like when I was a child I'd think about crossing the Jordan and I was always going straight [C] to heaven.
People come [F] here for many reasons, to be baptized or just to [Bb] find peace of mind by this river.
And there is a peace [A] of mind for me in the way that I [Bm] believe, knowing that if I'm going to cross this Jordan River,
[F] that I've got somebody to cross it with or I'll be waiting there when he does finally cross it.
Maybe we'll do it together.
[D] Anyway, Johnny and I would like to sing you a song that's kind of a love song [B] for us, but also a [B] spiritual in a way.
It's the Farside Banks of Jordan.
[F] I believe my steps are [C] growing wearier each day.
Got another journey on my [F] mind.
Lures of this old world have [C] ceased to make me want to stay.
And my one regret is leaving you [F] behind.
But if it proves to be its will [C] that I am,
[Gm] and somehow I've a feeling [E] it will [F] be,
when it comes your time, [Bb] travel [C] like wild flow, for I will be the first one that [F] you see.
As I'll be waiting on the Farside Banks of Jordan, I'll [Bb] be sitting drawing pictures in the [F] sand.
[C] And when I see you coming, [E] I [F] will rise up with a shout and come [Bb] running through the [F] shallow water, [D] reaching for your [F] hand.
Through this life we labor hard to [C] earn our meager share.
It's brought us trembling [E] hands and failing [F] eyes.
So I'll have to rest here on this shore [C] and turn my eyes away.
Until you come then we'll see [F] paradise.
And I'll be waiting on the Farside Banks of Jordan.
I'll be [Bb] sitting drawing pictures in the sand.
And [C] when I see you coming, I will rise up with a shout and [Bb] come running through the [Fm] shallow water, [C] reaching for your [F] hand.
