[Hook]
Standing by the river, Gazing cross the raging tide
Standing by the river, trying to get a glimpse
Of whats over on the other side, other side.
[Verse 1]
Standing on the banks of the river
Looking beyond, looking beyond (the river ooh)
Standing on the banks of the river
Looking for a home, looking for a home
(To Heaven ah)
[Pre-Chorus A]
Just to get a glimpse of my Jesus
And that home up there on high
Looking for the light of my Savior
Up in the sky
(Repeat Hook)
[Verse 2]
Standing there waiting for the boat man
Ready to go, ready to go (to heaven ooh)
Standing there waiting for the boatman
On that shore, on that shore (of Jordan ah)
[Pre-Chorus B]
Just to get a glimpse of that city
And behold my Savior there
Then I'll know forever I'll be in my Savior's care.
[Repeat Hook]
[BRIDGE]
Well I was standing on the banks
When I saw that old ship take my momma home
I was standing on the banks when daddy crossed the river and left me all alone
Now I'm standing on the banks
Just waiting for my ride to Heaven's golden shore
And I'm trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side!
