Roll Back Old Jordan
Sylvia Merle Greene
First Verse:
There’s a land just over in glory where my loved ones have gone
They’re rejoicing there forever singing a happy song
One of these days and it won’t be long I’ll join their victory song
No, that ole Jordan River can’t keep me from going home
CHORUS:
Roll back ole Jordan River, I’m crossing to the other side
Don’t weep for me my brother, I’ll be ever satisfied
Nothings gonna stop me from crossing over
Nothings gonna hold me down
I’m crossing over Jordan River to receive my robe & crown
Second Verse:
When the river is before me I will have no fear
Then I know the land of promise will be drawing near
When I cross ore the banks of Jordan my race will then be run
Roll back ole Jordan River my toiling here is done
