Oh the river of death lies just before me

Can I find a place that I can cross

Or will I be in sin forever

Oh Lord don't let my soul be lost



Oh I wanna walk with Christ my savior

For he's the one that'll guide me on

All through my life I've been a sinner

Now I'm right with God so I'm travelling home



Oh I can hear my savior calling

To me his voice sounds sweet and low

For me I hear my loved ones cheering

Oh, praise the Lord I'm ready to go



My life down here will soon be over

And this old world holds nothing for me

He saved my soul and He made me happy

That beautiful land I'm going to see
