There’s a river gently flowing
From the deepest part of God’s mind
Where you can wash your sins away
In the tears of time

I’m crossing over River Jordan
I’m going home that sweet someday
I long to stand on that far shore
I’m crossing over—I’m bound away

My mother waits patiently
Where the river flows from God’s throne
Her tender voice softly calls
Calls me home

I’m crossing over River Jordan
I’m going home that sweet someday
I long to stand on that far shore
I’m crossing over—I’m bound away

This time on earth is but a whisper
But heaven is a voice on high
We’ll understand it all more clearly
By and by (and by and by)

I’m crossing over River Jordan
I’m going home that sweet someday
I long to stand on that far shore
I’m crossing over—I’m bound away

I’m crossing over—I’m bound away
