Lyrics
~One More River to Cross~
(Song inspired by the poetry of Marilyn Ferguson)
(Music, Musical Arrangement, Editing, Last 1/2 of the last verse, & Chorus: Jack H. Holt 2013)
I have crossed so many rivers, as I've roamed upon this earth
I have known a world of wonders, I have seen a baby's birth.
I have scaled a mighty mountain, walked in valleys down below
Stood in meadows filled with clover, saw canyons filled with snow.
I have known the bliss of spring, smelled the roses in their time
Seen the golden leaves of autumn, tasted grapes right off the vine.
Felt the glowing warmth of sunshine, I have walked within the light
I have known the chill of winter, and a flock of birds in flight.
Chorus
But, I've got one more river to cross before I reach my home
Over the Chili Jordan, never more to roam.
There I’ll be with Jesus, through out eternity
And through the ages I will worship, the one who died for me
I have traveled to some countries, took me far away from home
I have lost so many loved ones, so much sorrow, I have known.
I have used the gift of wisdom, many lessons, I did learn
I have read the Holy Bible, for its truth, my mind does yearn.
I have stood within still waters, I have swam on troubled sea
I have faced a raging current, as I felt its pull on me.
I have known some years of splendor, In the many years gone by
But now, I'm old and feeble, and I'm not afraid to die.
Chorus
I have lived a life of challenge, I've been tempted, turned and tossed
But a Lighthouse beckons to me, I have one more bridge to cross.
I tell you this little story, so maybe you will see
If you ask and believe in Jesus, you can go with me
