The water is wide

I cannot cross over

And neither have i wings to fly

Build me a boat that will carry two

And both shall row

My love and i



There is a ship

And she sails the sea

She's loaded deep, as deep can be

But not so deep as the love i'm in

I know not how i sink or swim

Deep river

My home is over jordan

Deep river, lord

I want to cross over into campground



Deep river

My home is over jordan

Deep river, lord

I want to cross over into campground



Oh, don't you want to go

To that gospel feast

That promised land,

Where all is peace



Deep river, lord

I want to cross over into campground

The water is wide

I cannot cross over

And neither have i wings to fly

Build me a boat that will carry two

And both shall row

My love and i

And both shall row

My love and i
