# Subject: AT THE CROSSING not really a blue grass but an oldie with some extra verses from several contributers AT THE CROSSING (G) There's a river some-(C) where that's called (G) Jordan, And they (D) say that it's deep and (G) wide, And they say that the (C) king and (G) beggar, On that [D] shore they will stand side by (G) side. (chorus) At the (C) crossing, of the (G) Jordan, Why should (D)I be afraid? There'll be (G) someone who loves me, To (C) guide me, 'cross the (G) river, To (D) endless joys a-(G) bove. (G) Though the river is (C) dark and it's (G) stormy, It will (D) pass like a dream in the (G) night. And my soul will a-(C) wake in the (G) morning, In (D) regions of endless de-(G) light. (chorus) (G) my friend Jesus will (C) stand at the (G) river, And He'll (D) beckon, "just come unto (G) me." Then the waters of (C) Jordan will be (G) parted, And on (D) dry ground I'll enter the (G) sea. (chorus) [G] There are many that have [C] crossed the dark [G ]river You could [D] tell by the light on their [G] face When their last breath in [C] this life was G] taken JESUS [D] carried them to that Heavenly ]G] place (chorus) [G] When I come to the [C] end of my [G] journey And my [D] life here on Earth is [G] oer I will rest in the [C] arms of my [G] Savior In his [D] presents to be [G] evermore CHORUS [G] The river is [C] cold and [G] foreboding But for [D] me it will carry no [G] fright For my Savior will [C] meet me in [G] Mercy And I?ll [D] cross by His will and His [G] might [G] I will stand on the [C] banks of that [G] river When I?ve [D] finished my course and the [G] fight Then Jesus will [C] lead me to [G] Glory To the [D] city where the Lamb is the [G] lightT [G] The Master has [C] passed thru that [G] river Be [D] cause of his love for man [G] kind Now it?s only a [C] valley of [G] shadows I ap[D] proach it with God?s peace in my [G] mind
