SHE WATCHED
AS THEY ROLLED HIM
INTO THE PARLOR
SHE CRIED
AS HIS FAVORITE
SCRIPTURE WAS READ
THE CHOIR STARTED
SINGING
HIS FAVORITE CHORUS
TEARS STARTED
FLOWING
SO SHE BOWED HER HEAD
FOR FIFTY SOME YEARS
THEY DID EVERYTHING
TOGETHER
STRONG AND
COMMITTED
TILL DEATH DO US PART
NOW HE IS TRAVELING
AHEAD IN THE DISTANCE
SHE QUIETLY AROSE
AND SPOKE
FROM HER HEART
SHE SAID
LEAVE ME A MESSAGE
ON THE FAR SIDE
OF JORDAN
DRAW ME AN ARROW
DOWN IN THE SAND
POINT ME TO WHERE
YOU WILL BE WAITING
THEN WE'LL GO
SEE JESUS
HAND IN HAND
SHE TURNED
TO THE CROWD
HER VOICE FILLED
THE CHAPEL
LOVE'S
PERFECT PICTURE
THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN
THROUGH GOOD TIMES
AND BAD TIMES
CONSTANT COMPANIONS
WE CHERISHED
EACH MOMENT
AND SHARED THEM
AS FRIENDS
WE ALWAYS KNEW
THAT THIS DAY
WOULD HAPPEN
DEATH WOULD
COME KNOCKING
AND TEAR US APART
SO NOW HE
IS TRAVELING
AHEAD IN THE DISTANCE
BUT HE MADE
THIS PROMISE
I HOLD IN MY HEART
HE SAID
I'LL LEAVE YOU
A MESSAGE
ON THE FAR SIDE
OF JORDAN
I'LL DRAW YOU
AN ARROW
DOWN IN THE SAND
I'LL POINT TO THE PLACE
WHERE I'LL BE WAITING
THEN WE'LL GO
SEE JESUS
HAND IN HAND
LEAVE ME A MESSAGE
ON THE FAR SIDE
OF JORDAN
DRAW ME AN ARROW
DOWN IN THE SAND
POINT ME TO WHERE
YOU WILL BE WAITING
THEN WE'LL GO
SEE JESUS
HAND IN HAND
PLEASE PROMISE
TO MEET ME TOO
