Cold Jordan (Traditional cover) Lyrics
Oh, sinning is a gentilized journey
Take Jesus as your daily guide
Though you may feel pure and saintly
Without him walking by your side
And when you come to make your crossing
At the end of the pilgrim's way
If you ever will meet your savior
You will surely meet him on that day
Now look at that cold Jordan, look at its deep water
Look at that wide river, oh, heavy mighty billows roll
You better take Jesus with you, he's a true companion
Oh, I'm sure without him that you never will make it home
That awful day of judgment
Is coming in the by-and-by
We'll see our Lord descending
In the glory from on high
Oh, let us get in touch with Jesus
And in the special love of God
And maybe ever get ready
When he comes on Jordan's tide
Now look at that cold Jordan, look at its deep water
Look at that wide river, oh, heavy mighty billows roll
You better take Jesus with you, he's a true companion
Oh, I'm sure without him that you never will make it home
Now what you going to do?
Oh, what you going to say?
Oh, how you going to feel
When you come to the end of the way?
Take Jesus as your daily guide
Though you may feel pure and saintly
Without him walking by your side
And when you come to make your crossing
At the end of the pilgrim's way
If you ever will meet your savior
You will surely meet him on that day
Look at that wide river, oh, heavy mighty billows roll
You better take Jesus with you, he's a true companion
Oh, I'm sure without him that you never will make it home
Is coming in the by-and-by
We'll see our Lord descending
In the glory from on high
Oh, let us get in touch with Jesus
And in the special love of God
And maybe ever get ready
When he comes on Jordan's tide
Look at that wide river, oh, heavy mighty billows roll
You better take Jesus with you, he's a true companion
Oh, I'm sure without him that you never will make it home
Oh, what you going to say?
Oh, how you going to feel
When you come to the end of the way?
