Cold Jordan

Oh, sinning is a gentilized journey Take Jesus as your daily guide Though you may feel pure and saintly Without Him walking by your side And when you come to make your crossing At the end of the pilgrim's way If you ever will meet your Savior You will surely meet Him on that day Now look at that cold Jordan Look at its deep water Look at that wide river Oh, heavy mighty billows roll You better take Jesus with you He's a true companion Oh, I'm sure without Him That you never will make it home That awful day of judgment Is coming in the by and by We'll see our Lord descending In the glory from on high Oh, let us get in touch with Jesus And in the special love of God And maybe ever get ready When he comes on Jordan's tide Now look at that cold Jordan Look at its deep water Look at that wide river Oh, heavy mighty billows roll You better take Jesus with you He's a true companion Oh, I'm sure without Him that You never will make it home Now what you gonna do? Oh, what you gonna say? Oh, how you gonna feel When you come to the end of the way? --- Cold Jordan - Grateful Dead and David Nelson
