See/hear the full-length video HERE. ~S~ ==================================================================== TAKE ME OVER JORDAN Many tears have been shed from these tired eyes My hands are calloused and they're worn. This earthly body needs to sleep awhile, And a longing echoes through my soul. Let me see the faces of my loved ones. Let this bent and broken spirit fly! Take me over Jordan to that home beyond the sun, That land where we'll never die. And there's a crown of life waitin' there for me, In those nail-scarred hands I love so well, That suffered great pain and agony So that we need not taste the depth of hell. And we'll see the faces of our loved ones. As our bent and broken spirits fly! Take me over Jordan to that home beyond the sun, That land where we'll never die. Let me see the faces of my loved ones. Let this bent and broken spirit fly! Take me over Jordan to that home beyond the sun, That land where we'll never die. Take me over Jordan to that home beyond the sun, That land where we'll never die. SH @gospel |
