I Believe Lyrics

Jimmy Fortune

When I see the sunrise in the mornin
When I feel the wind blow across my face
When I hear the sound of children playin
I know it’s all part of Gods’ amazing grace

and I believe, there’s a place called Heaven
and I believe, in a place called Calvary
I believe in a man who’s name is Jesus
and I believe, that he gave his life for me…

I was there the day my momma went to Heaven
I held her hand, as she closed her eyes to sleep
and I felt the power, of ten thousand angels
take her soul away, to be crowned at Jesus feet

and I believe, there’s a place called Heaven
and I believe, in a place called Calvary
I believe in a man who’s name is Jesus
and I believe, that he gave his life for me…
and I believe that he gave his life
for me

Far Side Banks Of Jordan Lyrics

Song by Jimmy Fortune

I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
Still I’ve got a journey on my mind
Lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay
and my one regret is leaving you behind

And I’ll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I’ll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout!
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand

If it proves to be his will that I’m the first to go
And some how I’ve a feeling it will be
When it comes time to travel likewise don’t feel lost
For I will be the first one that you’ll see

And I’ll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I’ll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout!
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand

Through this life we’ve laboured hard to earn our meager fare
It’s brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
I’ll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away
And then you’ll come then we’ll see paradise

And I’ll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I’ll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout!
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand.
