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 it's 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 it's 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?
