another wide river to cross

i've stood on the bank by the weeping willow

with another wide river to cross. another wide river to cross. with another wide river to cross. i believe i can make it to the other side

'cos i feel a hand on me

helping me with another wide river to cross. when i wake up to many a day

with another wide river to cross. another wide river to cross. another wide river to cross. i jump right in the dark and i swim right on

toward the light on the other side. it's always there when there's another wide river to cross. oh the whirlpools twist and pull at me

with another wide river to cross. another wide river to cross. with another wide river to cross. if i reach up a hand is always reaching down for me. it's always there when there's another wide river to cross. well the river jordan is a narrow stream

but it's another wide river to cross. it's another wide river to cross. another wide river to cross. but i believe that there's a resting place that's provided just for me

on the heaven's side of another wide river to cross.
