Trying To Get a Glimpse
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Standing by the river (deep and wide)
Gazing across the tide (the raging tide)
Standing by the river (by the river)
Trying to get a glimpse
Of whats over on the other side (other side.)
Standing on the banks of the river
Looking beyond, looking beyond (the river, ooh)
Standing on the banks of the river
Looking for a home, looking for a home (to heaven, ahh)
Just to get a glimpse of my Jesus
And that home up there on high
Looking for the light of my savior
Up in the sky
Standing there waiting for the boat man
Ready to go, ready to go (to heaven, ooh)
Standing there waiting for the boatman
On that shore, on that shore (of jordan, ahh)
Just to get a glimpse of that city
And behold my savior there
Then I'll know forever I'll be in my saviors care
I was standing on the banks
When I saw that ol ship take my momma home
I was standing on the banks when daddy
Crossed the river and left me all alone
Now I'm standing on the banks
Waiting for my ride to heavens golden shore
And I'm, trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side
