When I come to the river
At ending of day
When the last winds of sorrow have blown
There'll be somebody waiting
To show me the way
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
Jesus died all my sins to atone
In the darkness I see
He'll be waiting for me
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
[ piano ]
Often times I'm weary and troubled and sad
When it seems that my friends have all flown
There is one thought that cheers me and makes my heart
glad
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan...
[ guitar ]
When the billows of sorrow and trouble may sweep
Christ the Saviour will care for his own
Till the end of my journey
my soul he will keep
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
In the darkness I see
He'll be waiting for me
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
Jesus died
all my sins to atone
