I have lived a life of sin In this world I'm living in I have done forbidden things I shouldn't do I asked a beggar along the way If he could tell me where to stay Where I could find real happiness and love that is true Across the bridge there is no more sorrow Across the bridge there is no more pain The sun will shine across the river And you will never be unhappy again Follow the footsteps of a king Till you hear the voice ring They'll be singing out the glory of the lamb River Jordan will be near The sound of trumpets you will hear And you'll behold the most precious place ever known to man Across the bridge there is no more sorrow Across the bridge there is no more pain The sun will shine across the river And you will never be unhappy again Across the bridge there is no more sorrow Across the bridge there is no more pain The sun will shine across the river And you will never be unhappy again
