Ferry ‘cross the Jordan © Mike Morgan/Jeff Elliott/Robert George


Through the steel bars in this tiny window
I can see the lightning to the east
Tear-stained Bible on my tattered mattress
As I kneel and whisper to the priest

I know the hour now has come
When this world won’t be my warden
Judgement’s hoofbeats are a mighty drum
And the wind becomes a gospel organ
But I’ve been reborn, I hear Gabriel’s horn
On the ferry ‘cross the Jordan

I can see my mama in my mem’ry
She will always care and pray for me
If the darkness finds me when I suffer
Let my faith prepare the way for me

I know the hour now has come
When the flesh won’t be my warden
Judgement’s hoofbeats are a mighty drum
And the wind becomes a gospel organ
I’ve been reborn, I hear Gabriel’s horn
On the ferry ‘cross the Jordan

Father, I know morning follows midnight
And these wicked charges are all false
Heaven hears the echo of my shackles
As I shuffle down forever’s halls

I know the moment now has come
When this world won’t be my warden
Judgement’s hoofbeats are a mighty drum
And the wind becomes a gospel organ
But I’ve been reborn, I hear Gabriel’s horn
On the ferry ‘cross the Jordan

On the ferry ‘cross the Jordan
On the ferry ‘cross the Jordan
Ferry ‘cross the Jordan…
