If I put my hand behind my ear
and listen
I can hear the sound
of celebration from afar
The music's so excitin'
As loved ones are arrivin'
And the saints are singin'
Come to where we are
There'll be joy on
the other side of Jordan
Peace will last forever
and a day
There'll be joy on
the other side of Jordan
What a glorious celebration
Far beyond imagination
There'll be joy on
the other side some day
If I stop and look around me
All I see is trouble
And it seems we've grown
complacent with this way
But the more that I am seein'
The more I'm glad I'm leavin'
And I'm gettin' so excited
about that day
'Cause there'll be joy on
the other side of Jordan
Peace will last forever
and a day
There'll be joy on
the other side of Jordan
What a glorious celebration
Far beyond imagination
There'll be joy on
the other side some day
Yeah there'll be joy on
the other side of Jordan
Peace will last forever
and a day
There'll be joy on
the other side of Jordan
What a glorious celebration
Far beyond imagination
There'll be joy on
the other side some day
