Oh, sinning is a gentilized journey, take Jesus as your daily guide

Though you may feel pure and saintly without him walking by your side

And when you come to make your crossing at the end of the pilgrim's way

If you ever will meet your savior, you will surely meet him on that day

Now look at that cold Jordan, look at its deep water

Look at that wide river, oh, heavy mighty billows roll

You better take Jesus with you, he's a true companion

Oh, I'm sure without him that you never will make it home

That awful day of judgment is coming in the by-and-by

We'll see our lord descending in the glory from on high

Oh, let us get in touch with Jesus and in the special love of God

And maybe ever get ready when he comes on Jordan's tide

Now look at that cold Jordan, look at its deep water

Look at that wide river, oh, heavy mighty billows roll

You better take Jesus with you, he's a true companion

Oh, I'm sure without him that you never will make it home

Now what you going to do, oh, what you going to say

Oh, how you going to feel when you come to the end of the way?
