Lyrics
There's a river rolling deep and wide
(It's rolling) Paradise is on the other side
(Yes Heaven is a-waiting)
When this old life is or'e
There we'll abide
Forever I'll abide
Oh roll on mighty old river
To that sweet forever
Let your waves roll gently
Guard your sword intently
Some day we must cross your shore
Roll on, Jordan
Roll on old river deep and wide
My Home is on the other side
So when I reach the river
Gonna pray the Lord to carry me Home
So roll on Jordan
Life's a river that I gotta span
To reach that mansion in the Promised Land
Roll on, Roll on Jordan
Roll on mighty old river
To that sweet forever
Let your waves roll gently
Guard your sword intently
Some day we must cross your shore
Roll on Jordan
