You came into this world one day,
A helpless, little child,
To live your life, to spend a few short years,
But oh how soon the day comes,
When you must go away,
You leave for good to not return again.
At the river of Jordan,
You're alone,
At the river, you leave it all behind.
Friends can't help or ease your pain,
All your riches are in vain,
At the river of Jordan, all alone.
The years so quickly pass you by,
The shadows begin to fall,
You tried to live your life as best you could, yeah you did,
But what does it profit any man,
Even if he gains the world,
And in the end he loses his own soul?
At the river of Jordan,
You're alone,
At the river, you leave it all behind.
Friends can't help or ease your pain,
All your riches are in vain,
At the river of Jordan, all alone.
At the river of Jordan,
You're alone,
At the river, you leave it all behind.
Friends can't help or ease your pain,
All your riches are in vain,
At the river of Jordan, all alone.
At the river of Jordan, all alone.
