Verse 1
G 
I believe my steps are growing
D 
wearier each day,
G 
But still I've got a journey on my mind.
Cares of this old world
D 
has ceased to make me want to stay,
G 
But my one regret is leaving you behind.
If it be His will that I should
D 
be the first to go,
G 
And somehow I've a feeling it will be.
When it comes your time to travel,
D 
likewise, don't you feel lost,
G 
For I will be the first one that you see.
I'll be waiting on the far
side bank of Jordan
C 
I'll be waiting drawing
G 
pictures in the sand
D 
And when I see you coming
G 
I will rise up with a shout
C 
And come running through
G 
the shallow water,
D 
G 
C 
G 
D 
G 
reaching for your hand
Through this life we've labored hard
D 
to earn our meager fare
It's brought us trembling hands
G 
and failing eyes
I'll just rest here on the shore
D 
and turn my eyes away
G 
Until you come, then we'll see paradise
I'll be waiting on the far
side bank of Jordan
C 
I'll be waiting,
G 
drawing pictures in the sand
D 
And when I  see you coming,
G 
I will rise up with a shout
C 
And come running through
G 
the shallow water,
D 
G 
reaching for your hand
A 
I'll be waiting on the far
side bank of Jordan
D 
I'll be waiting drawing
A 
pictures in the sand
E 
And when I see you coming
A 
I will rise up with a shout
D 
And come running through
A 
the shallow water
E 
Reaching for your hand
