To Get Home

 

You have to cross the River Jordan to get home.

 

You may Harkin to His teachings; you may live right and pray,

Or wave the banner preaching from now until judgment day.

You may read the greatest story and in every way be fair.

That is the road to glory, but it just won't get you there.

 

You have to cross the River Jordan to get home.

 

Remember when you left home? You were clean and free of sin.

You'll be clean when you get home, or, for sure, you won't get in.

There'll be no bridge above the water; there'll be no ship for you to ride.

You'll have to wade in the water if you want the other side.

 

You have to cross the River Jordan to get home.

 

To this, He will surely hold you and you know the reason why.

I was right there when He told you. And you know He doesn't lie.

There will be no cause to barter for the path is firmly set.

You have to wade in the water until your soul is soaking wet.

 

You have to cross the river Jordan to get home.
