Crossin' Over Jordan

one night I dreamed that I saw my brother up in the sky
he was livin' in a land of beauty by and by
through with all his earthly cares set free in a land so bright and fair
I dreamed that I saw my brother up in the sky
he was waitin' at the pearly gates when I crossed o'er
then he led me hand in hand through a city of gold
and he brought me out to the countryside to the rollin' hills in the mornin' light
he was waitin' at the pearly gates when I crossed o'er
we'll all be crossin' over Jordan
father mother children daughter and son
all God's children side by side we'll be rollin' on down that muddy tide
we'll be crossin' over Jordan one by one
we set out on a holy journey my brother and I
down the ancient path where Israel walked through time
from the barren land stood Abraham to the mountain tops of the promised land
we set out on a holy journey my brother and I
we'll all be crossin' over Jordan
father mother children daughter and son
all God's children side by side we'll be rollin' on down that muddy tide
we'll be crossin' over Jordan one by one
then we'll all join hands in a circle by and by
with everlasting joy we'll all reside
no more hatred no more fear just peace and love in our Lord so dear
we'll all join hands in a circle by and by
when we'll be crossin' over Jordan
father mother children daughter and son
all God's children side by side we'll be rollin' on down that muddy tide
we'll be crossin' over Jordan one by one
