This is more of a love song but it is religious.


FAR SIDE BANKS OF JORDAN
As recorded by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash on "The Legend" (2005)

I believe my steps are growin' wearier each day.
Still, I got another journey on my mind.
Lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay,
And my one regret is leavin' you behind.

But if it proves to be his will that I am first to cross,
And somehow I've a feelin' 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.

CHORUS: 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 labor 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. CHORUS TWICE
