I wanna cross over to see my Lord
You know I promised the Lord if He'd set me free
I wanna cross over to see my Lord
I'll go until find out what the end might be
I wanna cross over to see my Lord
One day, one day I was walkin' along
I wanna cross over to see my Lord
Well I heard a voice but I saw no one
I wanna cross over to see my Lord
The voice I heard it sound so sweet
I wanna cross over to see my Lord
Came down from my head to the sole of my feet
I wanna cross over to see my Lord
I said get away
Get away Jordan
Get away
Get away old chilly Jordan
Get away
Get back Jordan
I wanna cross over to see my Lord
Just a few more risings and the setting of the sun
I wanna cross over to see my Lord
All my battles will be fought and the victory won
I wanna cross over to see my Lord
All the friends that I used to love so dear
I wanna cross over to see my Lord
Well they've gone on to Glory and left me down here
I wanna cross over to see my Lord
You know my feet get cold, eyes are shut
My body's been chilled by the hand of death.
My tongue is glued to the roof of my mouth
My hands lay folded across my breast
You don't have to worry about the way I felt
God Almighty done told me He'll be right there
To lift me up on the wings of Love
Carry my soul to the heaven above.
They tell me Jordan is deep and wide
But I promise mother I'll see her on the other side.
I said get away
Get away Jordan
Oh get away
Get away old chilly Jordan
Get way back
Get back Jordan
I wanna cross over to see my Lord
Oh get away
Get away Jordan
Get away
Get away old chilly Jordan
Get way back
Get back Jordan
I wanna cross over to see my Lord
See my Lord
I wanna see my Lord
I wanna see
I wanna see my Lord
Yeah
