Lyrics

[Verse 1]

(Get away) Get away, Jordan

(Get away) Get away, oh chilly Jordan

I say get back, oh chilly Jordan

I wanna cross over to see my Lord

[Verse 2]

(Get away) Get away, Jordan

(Get away) Get away, oh chilly Jordan

I say get back, oh chilly Jordan

I wanna cross over to see my Lord

[Verse 3]

You know I come to Lord if he will set me free

(I wanna cross over to see my Lord)

I'm going to the final where the end might be

(I wanna cross over to see my Lord)

One day, one day, I was walking along

(I wanna cross over to see my Lord)

You know I heard a voice but I saw no one

(I wanna cross over to see my Lord)

The voice I heard sound so sweet, child

(I wanna cross over to see my Lord)

Came down on my head to soles of my feet, yeah

I wanna cross over to see my Lord

[Verse 4]

(Oh, get away) Get away, Jordan

(Get away) Get away, oh chilly Jordan

I say get back, oh chilly Jordan

I wanna cross over to see my Lord

[Verse 5]

You know in the mornings, I've been holding on

(I wanna cross over to see my Lord)

You're gonna look for me, child, and I'll be gone

(I wanna cross over to see my Lord)

Now a few more risings, settle and sunny y'all

(I wanna cross over to see my Lord)

This old body needs heart and the victory won

(I wanna cross over to see my Lord)

The friends I had that I love so dear

(I wanna cross over to see my Lord)

Carry on to glory and left me here

(I wanna cross over to see my Lord)

[Verse 6]

My eyes ain't shut, my feet are cold

My body's been chilled by the hands of dead

I told Judah to move my mouth

My hands been folded across my bread

You don't have to worry about the way I felt

Somebody done told me you'll be right there

Head for glory when I'm over

I carry my suit to the heavens up above

They tell me Jordan, you're deep on watch

But I promised my mother I'll see her on the other side

[Verse 7]

(Get away) Get away, Jordan

(Get away) Get away, oh chilly Jordan

I say get back, oh chilly Jordan

I wanna cross over to see my Lord

[Verse 8]

(Get away) Get away, Jordan

(Get away) Get away, oh chilly Jordan

I say get back oh chilly, Jordan

I wanna cross over to see my Lord
