i know that jesus will be there

Singer: jerry lee lewis

i'd like to do one for you now

ladies and gentlemen

tryin' to get these songs in 'cause i wanna get 'em on the album

if we possibly can

this is

um a song that-a cecil harrelson wrote

ah

it's a great song

and ah

the name of it's

'i know that jesus will be there'

waitin' for me

come to the crossroads of my life

took the right one

ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

when my body breathes it's last breath

and the sunrise

old jerry fails to see

when i walk that long lonesome mile

then there will be eternal peace for me

back in my younger by-gone years

i had reached the crossroads of my life

haunted by the sin that i was living in

i had to chose the road that lead to

jesus christ

now

i'm waiting for the harvest

of the seeds that i have sewn

oh i know

that they will lead me to

to the right hand of god's throne

yes

the path was long and narrow

but each step i took with care

when life's burdens all over

my precious jesus

will be there

i can almost hear the angels singin'

and the gates

those gates of pearl

will open wide

hallelujah!

um-mum

the mystery of it all

is now unfolding

and my reward will be eternal

eternal peace

inside

oh

i'm waiting for the harvest

of the seeds that i have sewn

oh i know

that they will lead me to

to the right hand of god's throne

the path was long and narrow

but each step i took with care

when life's burdens are over

i know that jesus

he will be there
