Well I promised the Lord if He'd set me free (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
I’d be happy to find what the end might be (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
One day, one day I was walkin along (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
I heard a voice but I saw no one (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
Well the voice I heard sounded oh so sweet (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
Came down from my head to the soul of my feet (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)

Well one of these mornings and it wont be long (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
You're gonna look for me child but I'll be gone (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
Just a few more risings and settings of the sun (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
My battle be fought and the victory won (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
Well the friends in life that I love so dear (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
Oh no no no... They've gone on to glory and left me here (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)

Bridge:
Well my feet get cold my eyes are shut
My body been chilled by the hand of death
Tongue glued to the roof of my mouth
My hands lay folded across my breast
Don't have to worry 'bout the way I fare
God Almighty done told me that He would be right there
To lift me up on His wings of love
Carry my soul to the heaven above
They tell me Jordans deep and wide
Promised mother I'd see her on the other side

Now get away (get away Jordan) - ph get away (get away oh chilly Jordan)
Get a way back, get back Jordan
I wanna cross over to see my Lord!

Chorus 4:
I said get away (get away Jordan) - oh get away (get away oh chilly Jordan)
Get a way back, get back Jordan
I wanna cross over to see my Lord!

My Lord (oh my Lord)
