Lyrics John Anderson – I Will Cross O’er The River

I will cross o’er the river
And rest in the shade of the trees
There’s someone ‘cross that river
I can hear familiar voices calling me

I know I’ll miss my family
I hope that they won’t worry for too long
‘Cause it’s only ‘cross the river
And I’ll be that much closer to my home

I will cross o’er the river
I’ve got to make it to the other shore
There’s something ‘cross that river
That’s powerful and cannot be ignored

I can see the grass is greener
A perfect spot is waiting there for me
I will cross o’er the river
And rest in the shade of the trees

No, it’s not so big a river
It’s not so deep and wide
I don’t think I’ll be coming back
From the other side

No, it’s not so big a river
It’s not so deep and wide
But I know I won’t be coming back
From the other side

I will cross o’er the river
And rest in the shade of the trees
There’s someone ‘cross that river
I can hear familiar voices calling me

I know I’ll miss my family
And I hope that they won’t worry for too long
