Lyrics Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris

Jordan

Come in as you tread life’s journey

Take jesus as your daily guide

Though you may feel pure and safely

Without him walking by your side

But when you come to make the crossing

At the ending of your pilgrim’s way

If you ever will meet our savior

You’ll surely meet him on that day

Now look at that cold jordan

Look at these deep waters

Look at that wide river

Oh hear the mighty billows roar

You’d 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 coming in the by and by

We’ll se our lord descending

In glory from on high

So let us keep in touch with jesus

And in his grace the love of god

That we may be ever called ready

When he calls us over jordan’s tide

Now look at that cold jordan

Look at these deep waters

Look at that wide river

Oh hear the mighty billows roar

You’d better take jesus with you

He’s a true companion

For I’m sure without him

That you never will make it o’er

Oh what, what you gonna do

Oh what, what you gonna do

Oh how, how you gonna feel

When you come to the end of the way
