Standing By The River
|
1.
Here I stand beside death's chilly waters waiting for my final call Standing by the ri-ver look-ing be-yond stand-ing by the riv-er look-ing be-yond gazing t'ward the land of fadeless beauty where no surges rise and fall Stand-ing by the riv-er look-ing be-yond stand-ing by the riv-er look-ing be-yond 2. Music from the land of endless glory falls upon my list'ning ear Stand-ing by the riv-er look-ing be-yond stand-ing by the ri-ver look-ing be-yond faces of my friends I often vision forms of loved ones oft appear Stand-ing by the riv-er look-ing be-yond stand-ing by the riv-er look-ing be-yond 3. Shadows of the night are swiftly falling lo I Hear the boatman's oar Stand-ing by the ri-ver look-ing be-yond stand-ing by the ri-ver look-ing be-yond many are the voices sweetly calling I must tarry here no more Stand-ing by the ri-ver look-ing be-yond stand-ing by the ri-ver look-ing be-yond Chorus Stand-ing by the riv-er waiting for the boatman standing by the riv-er waiting for the boatman List'ning to the mu-sic on the oth-er shore List'ning to the mu-sic the oth-er shore I can hear the an-gels singing out a welcome I can hear the an-gels Sing-ing out a welcome with my friends and loved ones Who have gone be-fore with my friends and loved ones gone be-fore standing in His presence Sometimes God opens up Heavens windows and pours out a blessing upon my wretched soul. If that's just a sample of what Heavens gonna be can you imagine living there eternally. And I'll be standing in the presence of an almighty God walking through that city only angels have trod What a time that will be (what a time oh that will be) oh what glory we shall see standing in the presence of and almighty God I can almost hear that great trumpet sound and I can almost feel this old body leave the ground If it feels this way in these shadows here below can you imagine when those pearly gates unfold |
