Crossing Over the Jordan

In this life upon the earth
so much troubles we travel through
such is the divine plan for us
that our faith can feel so blue

But we must always remind ourselves
the Lord is continually at our side
walking with us holding our hand
helping us over every high tide

He knows the way that we take
for His eyes see far further on
giving His grace for each step
preparation for before the dawn

When we see the day approach
looking across the eternal shore
Jordan beckons looks so near
have faith Jesus opens heavens door

Then we look back with gladness
for all that our God has done
bringing us home to glory
eternal thanks to Jesus His son

So until that day does come
keep our eyes on Jesus our friend
the one who redeemed our soul
He is faithful for ever to the end
