(With June Carter Cash)
I believe my steps
Are growing wearier each day
Still I've got another journey on my mind
Lures of this old world
Have ceased to make me wanna stay
And my one regret is leaving you behind
But if it proves to be His will
That I am first to cross
And somehow I've a feeling 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
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've laboured 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
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
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
