[Verse 1]
D A
I'll admit my steps are growing wearier each day
D
Still I've got certain journey on my mind
A
The lures of this old world have ceased to make me wanna stay
D
And my one regret is leaving you behind
[Verse 2]
D A
If it proves to be his will that I'm first to cross
D
And somehow I'll be feeling it will be
A
When it comes your turn to travel likewise don't feel lost
D
For I will be the first one that you'll see
[Chorus]
D
And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
G D
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
A D
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
G D A D
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand
[Interlude]
G D A D
[Verse 3]
D A
Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare
D
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
A
So I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away
D
Until you come then we'll see paradise
[Chorus]
D
And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
G D
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
A D
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
G D A D
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand
[Outro-Chorus]
(D)
I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
G D
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
A D
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
G D A D
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand
G D A G D D A7 D
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand
