I
I KNOW I'VE NEVER MET THE MAN WHO GAVE HIS LIFE FOR ME,
YET HIS PRESENCE DAILY I CAN FEEL. BUT IF BY CHANCE.
YOU'RE TAKEN HOME BEFORE IT COME MY TIME,
PLEASE TAKE THIS MESSAGE HOME TO HIM FOR ME.
II
ALTHOUGH OUR NAMES ARE DIFFERENT,
WE'RE ALL PURCHASED BY HIS BLOOD.
THRU JESUS CHRIST WE'RE ONE BIG FAMILY,
SO AT THAT BIG HOMECOMING WHEN GOD'S CHILDREN WILL BE THERE,
SEARCH THAT BANQUET TABLE THERE FOR ME.
III
I SAW THE OLD MAN STANDING BY A CASKET DRAPED IN BLACK
FOR FIFTY YEARS IT'S BEEN JUST YOU AND ME.
AND AS THE PREACHER SPOKE THESE WORDS "TO DUST WE SHALL
RETURN I HEARD THAT OLD MAN SPEAKING TENDERLY.
CHORUS
I'LL MEET YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE OF JORDAN,
WITH FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES WE WILL EVER BE.
I'LL MEET YOU ON THE SIDE OF JORDAN AND WE'LL SPEND ALL
ETERNITY.
