Oh stranger as you're treading life's journey

Take Jesus as your daily guide

Though you may feel pure and safe here,

Without Him walking by your side

But when you come to make the crossing

At the end of lifes pilgrim way

If you're ever gonna need our Savior,

You'll surely need Him on that day.

 

         Chorus:

(Now look at that) cold Jordan

(Look at its) deep water

(Look at that) wide river

Oh, hear the mighty billows roll

(You better take) Jesus with you

(He's a) true companion

(And I'm) sure without Him

That you never will make it o'er



That awful day of judgement,

Is coming in the by and by

We'll see our Lord descending

In glory from on high

So let's keep in touch with Jesus

And in His precious love abide

That we ever may be so ready

When we cross over Jordan's tide



    Chorus



(Oh what) what you gonna do?

(Oh what) what you gonna say?

How you gonna feel?

When you've come to the end of the way?
