I was standing by the bedside of a neighbor
Who was bound to cross Jordan's swelling tide
And I asked him if he would do me a favor
And kindly take this message to the other side
If you see my Savior tell Him that you saw me
Ah, and when you saw me I was on my way
When you reach that golden city think about me
Ah don't forget to tell the Savior what I said
Though you have to make this journey on without me
Oh, that's your debt that sooner or later must be paid
You may see some old friends who may ask about me
Oh tell them I'm coming home some sweet day
I was standing by the bedside of a neighbor
Who was bound to cross Jordan's swelling tide
And I asked him if he would do me a favor
And kindly take this message to the other side
Won't you kindly take this message to the other side
I was standing
Yes I was standing I was standing standing by a friend
Who was leaving to cross the Jordan
We are all gonna cross over Jordan in the end
