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.
