Stanley Brothers - Jordan Lyrics

Oh come and as you tread life's journey

Take Jesus as your daily guide

Though you may feel pure and saintly

Without him walkin by your side



But when you come to make the crossing

At the ending of your pilgrim way

If you ever will need our Savior

You'll surely need him on that day



(Now look at that) cold Jordan

(Look at its) deep waters

(Look at that) wide river

Oh hear the mighty billows roll



(You better take) Jesus with you

(He's a) true companion

(For I'm) sure without him

That you never will make it o'er



That awful day of judgment

Is comin' in the by and by

We'll see our Lord descending

In Glory from on high



Oh let us keep in touch with Jesus

And in his precious love abide

We may be ever caught ready

When he calls us over Jordan's tide





(Oh what) oh what you gonna do

(Oh what) oh what you gonna say

(Oh how) oh how you gonna feel

When you come to the end of the way
