Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I won't have to cross Jordan alone

Jesus died all my sins to atone

In the darkness I see

He'll be waiting for me

I won't have to cross Jordan alone


When I come to the river at the ending of day

When the last winds of sorrow have blown

There'll be somebody waiting to show me the way

I won't have to cross Jordan alone


I won't have to cross Jordan alone

Jesus died all my sins to atone

In the darkness I see

He'll be waiting for me

I won't have to cross Jordan alone


There is a fountain filled with blood

Drawn from Immanuel?s veins;

And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,

Lose all their guilty stains:

Lose all their guilty stains,

Lose all their guilty stains;

And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,

Lose all their guilty stains.
