This old world is filled with trouble.
Pain and heartache on each side.
But a better life is waiting
When I cross Jordan's rolling tide.
Just beyond the river Jordan
There my Savior's face, I'll see.
Just beyond the river Jordan
A better life is waiting me.
Faces of my dearest loved ones
In my mind, I now can see.
They've already crossed the river.
To live life more abundantly.
Just beyond the river Jordan
There my Savior's face, I'll see.
Just beyond the river Jordan
A better life is waiting me.
Just beyond the river Jordan
A better life
(beyond the river)
Is waiting me.
Ooh
