Blind Willie McTell - I Got to Cross the River Jordan Lyrics

I got to cross that river of Jordan
Lord, I got to cross that for myself
Says, nobody here can cross that for me
Lord, I got to cross that for myself

And I got to meet my dear old my mother
I got to meet her for myself
Left nobody here can meet her for me
Lord, I got to meet her for myself

I got to stand my trial and my judgment
I got to stand that for myself
Left nobody here can stand that for me
So I got to stand that for myself

Jordan river is so hard to swim in
I got to cross that for myself
Says, nobody here can cross that for me
Lord, I got to cross that for myself

I got to face my dear savior
I got to face him for myself
Says, nobody here can face him for me
Lord, I got to face him for myself

And I got to work soul salvation
Lord, I got to work that for myself
Left nobody here can work that for me
Says, I got to work out for myself

So I got to meet my mother and father
I got to meet them for myself
Says, nobody here can meet them for me
Lord, I got to meet them for myself

Ain't nobody here can stand that for me
Lord, I got to stand that for myself

So I got to lie so lonesome graveyard
I got to lie there for myself
Ain't nobody here can lie there for me
Lord, I got to lie there for myself
