Get Away Jordan
Ernie Haase & Signature Sound
Get away, get away, get away, get away CHORUS Get away (Jordan) Get away (Jordan) Get back (get back Jordan) I wanna cross over to see my Lord Get away (get away Jordan) Get away (get away chilly Jordan) Get back (get back, way back Jordan) I wanna cross over to see my Lord Well I promised the Lord if He set me free I'd go until I find what the end may be One day one day I was walking along I know I heard a voice but I saw no one The voice I heard sounded oh so sweet Came down from my head to the soles of my feet CHORUS Well one of these mornings and it won't be long You're gonna look for me child but I'll be gone Just a few more risings and settings of the sun All my battles be fought and my victories won All the friends I used to love so dear They've gone on to glory and left me here When my feet get cold and my eyes are shut Body's been chilled by the hand of death My tongue is glued to the roof of my mouth Hands lay folded across my breast I won't have to worry 'bout the way I fare God Almighty done told me He'd be right there To lift me up on the wings of love Carry my soul to Heaven above Tell me Jordan's deep and wide But I told Mom I'd meet her on the other side CHORUS
