I believe my steps are growing [E] wearier each day.
Still I've got a journey on [A] my mind.
Lures of this old world have [E] ceased to make me want to stay.
And my one regret is leaving you [A] behind.
If it proves to be His will [E] that I am first to go,
And somehow I've a feeling it [A] will be.
When it comes your time to travel [E] likewise don't you feel lost,
For I will be the first one that [A] you see.
And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan.
I'll [D] be waiting drawing pictures in [A] the sand.
[E] And when I see you coming I [A] will rise up with a shout,
And [D] come running through [A] the shallow [E] waters reaching for [A] your hand.
[F#m] [D] [A] [E]
[A] Through this life we've labored [E] hard to earn our meager fare.
It's brought us trembling hands and [A] failing eyes.
I'll just rest here on the [E] shore and turn my eyes away.
Until you come then we'll see [A] paradise.
And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of [E] [A] Jordan.
I'll be [D] waiting drawing pictures [A] in the sand.
[E] And when I see you coming [A] I will rise up with a [C#] shout,
[D] And come running [A] through the shallow waters [E] reaching [A] for your hand.
And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan.
[F#m] [D] I'll be waiting drawing pictures in the [A] sand.
[E] And when I see you coming [A] I will rise up with a shout,
[D] And come running [A] through the shallow [E] waters reaching [A] for your hand.
