Greetings everyone, and thank you for visiting my music page on Soundclick. My name is James Stephen Green. Some folks know me by Steve, some know me by James. I'm from Natchez, Mississippi, though I've lived in several different towns over the years. Most recently, I lived in Gulfport, Mississippi, until Hurricane Katrina. I've been involved in music from a very early age. Music has always been an important part of my family. My dad plays music, my grandparents played music, etc. Over the past few years, I've begun to try my hand at writing songs. The songs you'll hear on this site are an example of some I've written. I generally write Country Gospel songs, though I've written a few secular songs as well. Give them a listen, and let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy them. God Bless.

Story behind the song
Wrote this one over a period of several days, while travelling back and forth to work in Ferriday , LA. I haven't sung this one in public yet.
Lyrics
Verse 1 There will come a glad day when my time here is done All my trials and tears will be gone I'll be bound for a place filled with God's perfect love With the angels and saints round the throne I'll be gone just as quick as the blink of an eye No, my spirit will not tarry long Though my family and friends may be sad for awhile They'll know that I'm not really gone Chorus 1 I'll be crossing the Jordan, holding the hand Yes, the hand that was nailed to a tree He'll help me cross over to Heaven's bright shore Where my father is waiting for me. Verse 2 Won't you listen, dear friends, to the words that I say About the one who can answer your prayers When you kneel down in shame and you cry out His name He has promised to always be there And if you'll open your heart to the life that He gives To the Promised Land you can be bound And when your time here is through, you'll see Heaven in view And He'll guide you to that table ground. Chorus 2 You'll be crossing the Jordan holding the hand Yes, the hand that has ever been true He'll help you cross over to Heaven's bright shore Where your father is waiting for you Repeat last 2 lines
