Lyrics

(One more river to cross, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Before I reach my journey's end
(One more river to cross, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Before I'll be free from sin
(One more mountain to climb, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Whoa, before I finish this race
(One more river to cross, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Whoa, before I see my Savior's face
(One more river to cross, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Before I'll be free from fear
(One more river to cross, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Before I'll be through shedding tears
(One more mountain to climb, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Whoa, before I'll be with the blessed
(One more river to cross, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Whoa, before I'll take my, my rest
And I've got one more
(One more)
River (River)
I've got one more
(One more)
River (River)
I've got one more
(One more)
Mountain (Mountain)
Before I take my, my rest
(Ooh, one more river to cross)
Heavy burden down here, they all make just
One more (One more)
River (River)
Trials is one more
(One more)
River (River)
Disappointments is one more
(One more)
Mountain (Mountain)
Before I can take my, my rest
(One more river to cross)
