The water is wide 

I cannot cross over 

And neither have I wings to fly 

Build me a boat that will carry two 

And both shall row 

My love and I 



There is a ship 

And she sails the sea 

She's loaded deep, as deep can be 

But not so deep as the love I'm in 

I know not how I sink or swim 

Deep river 

My home is over Jordan 

Deep river, Lord 

I want to cross over into campground 



Deep river 

My home is over Jordan 

Deep river, Lord 

I want to cross over into campground 



Oh, don't you want to go 

To that gospel feast 

That promised land, 

Where all is peace 



Deep river, Lord 

I want to cross over into campground 

The water is wide 

I cannot cross over 

And neither have I wings to fly 

Build me a boat that will carry two 

And both shall row 

My love and I 

And both shall row 

My love and I
