Subject: Way Over Jordan
No. 82. Way Over Jordan

Chorus:
Oh, way over Jordan,
View the land, view the land,
Way over Jordan,
Oh, view the heav'nly land.

1
I want to go to heaven when I die!
View the land, view the land;
To shout salvation as I fly,
Oh, view the heav'nly land.
Cho.- Oh, way over Jordan, etc.
2
Old Satan's mad, and I am glad,
View the land, view the land;
He miss'd that soul he thought he had,
Oh, view the heav'nly land.
Cho.- Oh, way over Jordan, etc.
3
You say you're aiming for the skies,
View the land, view the land;
Why don't you stop your telling lies?
O view the heav'nly land.
Cho.- Oh, way over Jordan, etc.
4
You say your Lord has set you free,
View the land, view the land;
Why don't you let your neighbours be?
O view the heav'nly land.
Cho.- Oh, way over Jordan, etc.
