Crossing Over Jordan- Alex Bradford Specials; Specialty Record Label 1954
CHORUS: Crossing over Jordan (crossing over Jordan)
I'm on my way to heaven (on my way to heaven)
Crossing over Jordan (crossing over Jordan)
I'm on my way home (on my way home)
When I get there (oh when I get there)
I'm trying (I'm trying to follow Him)
I'm crossing, crossing, crossing on over in the middle of the air.
CHORUS:
VERSE: When I get to Jordan
I'll see my Savior's face
Tell him about my troubles
I had trying to win this race.
Then I'll sit right down,
Get my starry crown
I'm workin on crossing, crossing, crossing on over in the middle of the air.
