Lyrics
THIS SIDE OF THE JORDAN
There's a pitcher of ice cold lemonade
On a picnic table in the shade
Every plate is piled high
With Grandma's chicken and her famous apple pie
Bees are hummin' in the daffodils
Sweet sweet honey, time is standing still
Grandy Foster and long gone friends
Are smiling, waving at the rivers edge
CH: Oh my mind paints a pretty picture
Tiny diamonds dancin' on the water
It's a perfect July mornin'
When I look across from this side of the Jordan
I hear my big brother Billy laugh
The way he did before Iraq
And Miss Virginia,who taught me in Sunday School
She has no need to teach the Golden Rule
There's a choir singin' in the wind
'Blessed Assurance: that song never ends
Nobody's in a hurry to get up and go
Cause night don't fall and they're already home
CH: Oh my mind paints a pretty picture
Tiny diamonds dancin' on the water
I will rejoice one Golden mornin'
I'll be Headed home from this side of the Jordan
Jesus loves me , this I know
He'll comfort me and keep me close
'Til I cross the bridge laid down by Love
To join the ones that I miss so much
CH:
