|
The water is wide, I cannot cross over
|
And neither have I wings to fly,
|
Build me a boat that will carry two
|
And both shall row my love and I.
|
There is a ship and she sails the sea
|
She's loaded deep as deep can be,
|
But not so deep as the love I'm in.
|
I know not how I sink or swim.
|
|
Deep river
|
My home is over jordan.
|
Deep river,
|
Lord, I want to cross over into campground.
|
Deep river
|
My home is over jordan
|
Mmm, deep river, Lord
|
I want to cross over into campground.
|
Oh, don't you want to go
|
To that gospel feast that promised land,
|
Where all is peace
|
For deep river, Lord
|
I want to cross over into campground.
|
|
The water is wide, I cannot cross over
|
And neither have I wings to fly,
|
Build me a boat that will carry two
|
And both shall row
|
And both shall row
|
And both shall row
|
My love and I.
