I heard there's a light for us here in the dark
I heard there's a fire
I've never seen a spark
Maybe as a young man
There's no way now in hell
I will wade across the wide, wide Jordan
I lived my life believing in when the stranger rang my door
I should take him in
If you're only taking the ones who call you friend
I won't wade across the wide, wide Jordan
You go on ahead, go into the light
I'll stay here and tend the ones you leave behind
Go get your reward, you fought the good fight
I won't wade across the wide, wide Jordan
If there's no greater love than to lay down your life
If it's just us and them, and pass/fail in the end
Give my robe, my crown, my throne to someone else
I won't wade, I won't wade across the wide, the wide, the wide Jordan
