This song will be forever special to us as we learned it for our grandpa's funeral a few years ago. There are so many people who have championed our music and cheered us on that are no longer with us. It is such an encouragement to know that we will see them again on the "Far Side Banks of Jordan."
Fun fact: Ellen is using her husband Michael's guitar in this song!

►LYRICS - Far Side Banks of Jordan
I'll admit my steps are growing wearier each day
Still I've got a certain journey on my mind
The lures of this ol' world have ceased to make me wanna stay
My one regret is leaving you behind
If it proves to be His will that I'm the first to cross
And somehow I've a feeling it will be
When it comes your turn to travel likewise, don't feel lost
For I will be the first one that you'll see
I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
An' when I see you coming, I will rise up with the shout
And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand
Through this life we've labored long to earn a meager fare
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
So I'll just rest here on the shore and turn my eyes away
Until you come, then we'll see paradise
I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming, I will rise up with the shout
And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand [x2]
And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand
