Crossing Over Jordan Lyrics

By Redeemed Quartet

Lyrics

After many long years in bondage

God's chosen people had been

Out in the wilderness wandering,

t'was all because of sin

Their leader had been old Moses,

and now that he had died

God said to Joshua, "Cross over to the other side"


Chorus:

"Cross over to the other side of Jordan,"

the Lord to Joshua said

"Cross over to the other side of Jordan,

my people must be led

No longer in the wilderness wander

from Egypt's bondage flee

And when you reach the other side, you shall be free"


"The river now lies before you, and I the waters control

Now is the time to cross over, the waters back will roll

A wonderful land awaits you just over Jordan's tide

Just remember victory lies over on the other side"


God then said to Joshua, "Look toward the setting sun

All the nations that you see someday will be one

Just as I was to old Moses, so I will be to thee

I'll stand by you in battle, and I'll bring you victory"


Then Joshua said to his people,

"Prepare yourselves to stay

Three more days in the wilderness

and we'll be on our way

Across the land of Canaan and into Jericho

We'll plant our feet in the Promised Land

and live forevermore"
