I Know Who Holds Tomorrow (The Cox Family)

I believe my steps are growing wearier each day


Still I've got a journey on my mind


Lures of this old world have ceased to make me wanna stay


And my one regret is leaving you behind.






If it proves to be his will that I am first to go


And somehow I'll be feeling it will be


When it comes your times to travel like wise don't feel lost


For I will be the first one that you'll see.






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 the shout


And come running through he shallow waters reaching for your hand.






--- Instrumental ---






Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare


It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes


I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away


Until you come then we'll see paradise.






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 the shout


And come running through he shallow waters reaching for your hand.






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 the shout


And come running through he shallow waters reaching for your hand...
