This is one of my favorite songs. It really helped me when my father passed away, and then when mom went to be with him. It's southern gospel by the Spencers. Far Side Banks of Jordan.
FAR SIDE BANKS OF JORDAN
http://www.heartsongs.org/RAM/BanksOfJordan.ram
1. I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
Still I've got a journey on my mind.
The hurts of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay
But my one regret is leaving you behind.
2. If it proves to be His will that I am first to go
And somehow I've a feeling it will be.
When it comes your time to travel, likewise don't feel lost
For I will be the first one that you see.
CHORUS:
And I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan.
I'll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand.
And when I see you coming, I will rise up with a shout
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand.
3. In this life we labored hard to earn our meager fare
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes.
I'll just rest here on the shore and turn my eyes away
Until you come and we'll see Paradise.
CHORUS:
I love southern gospel ... but I've never heard this particular song
I understand how it could be a comfort for you when your father, and then your mother, passed away.
God bless you ... every day.
