Cross That River Chords by The New Jersey Mass Choir

[G] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _
[Bbm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Bbm] Oh, [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ [Bbm] listen, [Eb] I think I need somebody to help me [Cm] sing this little [Bb] song.
[Eb] Come on [Bbm] choir, [Eb] just [Db] moan a little bit [G] right here.
_ _ Yeah, [Bbm] _
_ [G] _ _ [Bbm] _ [Eb] yeah, yeah.
[Bb]
[Fm] Listen, [Bbm] I'm reminded of a [Db] story of a [Eb] little old lady [Bbm] who was confined to a wheelchair.
[G] _ [Bbm] Her [Eb] legs had been amputated and she could no [Bbm] longer walk.
[Eb] _ Every now and [Bbm] then they would roll her into the [Eb] church house [G] and while in service, she
would just begin [Eb] to wave her hand when the spirit [Bbm] of God began [Eb] to move [Bbm] upon her.
Oh yeah, somebody [Eb] said, do you [Bb] ever wish that you [Eb] had legs so [Eb] that you could walk?
[Bbm] She said, let me tell you something, [Eb] while I'm [Bbm] on this side, I've got heartaches and pain.
[Eb] But one of these [Bb] days, I'm gonna [Bb] cross that [C] river.
[F] I'll sit down [Cm] only because I want [Bb] to.
Because I'll get brand new [Eb] legs and I can walk.
And I'll forget [Bb] about [D] all of these [Gm] heartaches and trouble.
[Eb] _ I'll be walking [Bbm] around heaven [Eb] satisfied.
[Bbm] _
Well, [Eb] _ [Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _ [Eb] I [Bbm] stopped by the [Ab] deacon section and the [Bb] mother's ball [Eb] and I began to ask [Gm] them,
mother, [G] when you get to glory, who do you want to see?
[Eb] She said, well, you know, [Bbm] I like to read the Bible and I [G] like to read the letters of Paul.
I [Eb] think I want to talk with Paul.
[Bb] And [Bbm] I go to one of the deacons that's always praying and said, brother [Eb] deacon, who do you
want to [Bbm] see?
And well, he said, [Cm] I heard the traditional [Bbm] story that James was a [Eb] praying man.
So I think I want to talk with [Bbm] James.
And [Eb] then I went to another deacon and said, brother [Bb] deacon, who do you want to [Eb] see?
He said, wait a minute, [Eb] tell me something, [Bbm] son.
What about you?
Who do you want to see?
And I said, [Eb] well, I think, [Bb] no, I know [Eb] I want to see Jesus.
When I cross [Bb] that river.
Yeah, yeah.
[C] I just [F] want to sit down [Cm] [Bb] by the mouth of the sign.
Yeah, forget [Eb] all, all of my [Bb] heartaches.
[Gb] _ [Gm]
Yes, [Eb] I'm going to be satisfied.
Yes, [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ [Ab] [Eb] I'm looking [Bb] forward to that day [Eb] when [E] I cross [F] the river Jordan.
[Eb] Sit down, [Bb] sit down, take my breath.
Yeah, [Eb] forget _ [Bb] all, [D] forget all.
No [Gm] more heartaches and trouble.
[Eb] I'll be, I'll be, [G] I'll be satisfied.
Yeah, yeah.
_ _ _ [Eb] [Bbm] I want to see [Cm] Jesus.
I want to see Jesus.
[Bbm] Somebody got a [Eb] mother on the other [Bb] side.
I know [Eb] you want to see your mother when you get there.
[Bbm] You see, I even got a [Eb] father.
I've [Bb] got a brother [Eb] that's resting on the other side right [G] now.
And I [Bb] sure want to [Eb] see them when I [Bb] get there.
But [Db] most of all, again, [G] like I said, I've got to see Jesus.
He's [Eb] the man that [Bbm] walks with me.
He's the man that talks with me.
[Eb] [G] He's the man that picked me [Eb] up whenever I'm [Bbm] falling [G] down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
_ [Eb] Yeah, [Bb] _
I'm [Bbm] _ going to be [Eb] satisfied.
