Trying To Get A Glimpse

Standing by the river, Gazing cross
 the raging tide
 Standing by the river, trying to get a
 glimpse
 of whats over on the other side.
 Standing on the banks of the river
 Looking beyond, looking beyond
 (The river, Ooh)
 Standing on the banks of the river
 Looking for a home, looking for a home
 (To heaven, Ooh)
 Just to get a glimpse of Jesus
 And that home up there on high.
 Looking for the light of my saviour
 up in the sky.
 (repeat)
 Standing there waiting for the boat man
 Ready to go, ready to go
 (To heaven, Ooh)
 Standing there waiting for the boatman.
 On that shore, On that shore
 (Of Jordan, Aah)
 Just to get a glimpse of that city
 And behold my saviour there
 Then I'll know forever I'll be in my
 saviours care.
 Well I was standing on the banks
 when I saw that ol ship take my
 momma home.
 I was standing on the banks when
 daddy
 Crossed the river and leave me all alone.
 Now I'm standing on the banks
 Just waiting for my ride to hravens
 golden shore
 And I'm, trying to get a glimpse of
 whats over on the other side.
