Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Jul 14, 2008 3:15 am

the song I am looking for has these lyrics (what I know of it)

chorus: In that great beyond on that great judgement day
With tender hands He'll wipe the tears from my eyes
I want Jesus to lead me through the cool chilly waters
And walk with me to my mansion in the sky.

verse 1 (Partial) when the long line forms to cross old Jordan
And I bid this old world my last goodbye
???????
?????????

verse 2 when the long line forms to answer questions
and my Savior opens up the Book of Life
I want Jesus then to be my witness
When He calls my name in the sky....

If anyone knows what the song title/lyrics are--I'd appreciate the info ...and if you know of any group that recorded it.(so I can buy it) Thanks

The name of the song is "Cool, Chilly Waters". I learned it from an old Jimmie Davis album.

1.
When that long line forms to cross old Jordan
And to this world I have bid my last goodbye.
I want Jesus to lead me through the cool, chilly waters,
And walk with me to my home in the sky.

2.
When that long line forms to answer questions,
And I need somebody then to testify.
I want Jesus then to be my witness,
When He calls my name in the sky.

cho.
In that great beyond, on that final judgement day
With tender hands, He'll wipe the tears from yes.
I want Jesus to lead me through those cool, chilly waters
And walk with me to my home in the sky.

Hope this helps.

Lord bless,
Mercedes

Sorry, that second line of the chorus should read, He'll wipe the tears from my eyes

3. I'll see Mama and Daddy, on the other side of Jordan,
Over there we'll never say goodbye,
They are up there with Jesus, they have crossed the chilly waters,
And they are waiting on the other side.
