And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout

And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand.
[Johnny] Through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager fare
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
[June] So I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away
Until you come then we'll see paradise.
[Both] And 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 a shout
And come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand.
