- This song will be forever special to us as we learned it for our grandpa's funeral a few years ago. There are so many people who have championed our music and cheered us on that are no longer with us. It is such an encouragement to know that we will see them again on the "Far Side Banks of Jordan."
Fun fact: Ellen is using her husband Michael's guitar in this song!
►An older version of this song appears on our Homesick for a Country album, which we dedicated to him li.sten.to/homesickforacountry

►LYRICS - Far Side Banks of Jordan
I'll admit my steps are growing wearier each day
Still I've got a certain journey on my mind
The lures of this ol' world have ceased to make me wanna stay
My one regret is leaving you behind
If it proves to be His will that I'm the first to cross
And somehow I've a feeling it will be
When it comes your turn to travel likewise, don't feel lost
For I will be the first one that you'll see
I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
An' when I see you coming, I will rise up with the shout
And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand
Through this life we've labored long to earn a meager fare
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
So I'll just rest here on the shore and turn my eyes away
Until you come, then we'll see paradise
I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming, I will rise up with the shout
And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand [x2]
And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand

Thanks Liz!
Hello Liz! Our lady on the job! Good to see you again. Ellen is so perfect for singing lead on this. I've missed them.
Love u guys thx
Thank y’all
Thank YOU !
One of my favorite songs! It´s so beautiful that I wanted to cry! Ellen has a wonderful voice - so strong and clear!
My is waiting for my mom there in heaven..we miss you Dad God bless
The beautiful voice of Ellen, so nice clear and strong. Her diction is perfect and every word she sings is so clear and pure.
Made me think of my wife of 45 years that passed away in April 2020. So looking forward to seeing her again one day in paradise.
Love this Band!! God Bless them!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Far side of Jordan is beautiful place to be , I pray you all keep on the sunny side of life, god bless all the petersen's family amen
Ever since I heard this beautiful song I regularly have to listen to it. Bless you all
My wife of 59 years is in Heaven waiting for me. You singing brought me to tears. Thank you!!
Great is your faith. God bless you. You shall one day be with your wife and rejoicing in the Lord and there will be no tears of sadness.
Amen! Praying for y’all!
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss your comment brought tears to my eyes
My wife is there with her. This song had the same effect on me.
My wife just passed and I THANK ALL OF YOUS FOR THIS SONG!! GOD BLESS!
Ellen has a voice that smiles at you
A great song sung by a family who not only harmonizes so well together but who also brings some harmony to this crazy world we live in.
The Petersens always comfort my soul.
I was working with my dad one day in his business painting houses, when he threw out the random comment, "When I die don't ask God to raise me from the dead." When I asked, somewhat indignantly, "Why not!?" He answered, "Cause He might do it and then I'd be mad at having to wait longer for heaven." When he passed, I looked at his mortal shell laying on that ER bed and just said goodbye.
Thank you for a beautiful song and fond remembrances.
This song strengthens my faith
I lost my 3 toddler children to a house fire in 2010 lost my father in 2020 and now my mother in 2022.
Everything I love I lost
Hopefully there's something left for my future
Praying for you right now!
Dear James,
Your toddler children are FOR SURE waiting over the Jordan River in heaven! Jesus Himself said that children are of the Kingdom of God. Little children are watched over by angels. Their angels are always before the face of God, the Father. So, they told God about your toddler children in the house fire. Why did God allow this terrible thing? I don't know... What I do know, is that their guarding angels brought each of their souls to heaven. They are save, forever by and with Jesus. Stick to your faith in Jesus, one sweet day you will meet them again! Warmest wishes, Christian Oosterhagen (42), Holland
@@christianoosterhagen2891 Thanx for the great inspiration story brought tears to my eyes
Thanx again and GOD BLESS
-James -
This is one awesome band!! Never get tired of listening to them!! This was one of my Mom's favorite songs!! Now in Heaven watching over uslll!
I lost my brother on December 3rd 2020 . But he is more alive today in Heaven than ever before. Thank you for this song God bless you ...
Another winner from the Petersens, the family it's impossible not to love!
My son, Andy, passed away on February 28, 2021. He was only 34. A day or two later I heard this song for the first time. It was moving to think of both of his grandfathers, whom he loved so dear, wading in to greet him and taking him to see Jesus. I'm not sure the idea of the song is biblically accurate, but I know they are all there together with loved ones already passed, including his infant sibling. I always expected that I would get to meet that baby first, but Andy hurried on ahead of me.🥲 I praise God that I will see them again in paradise. ❤️
Thank you, Arthur!
By the looks of things it won’t be long before we’ll all get to meet Andy! Bless you sweetie!
@Arthur Zuse Ledur thank you!
@@Shiloh8548 I have similar feelings as well! Praying for the lost to accept Jesus as their personal Savior!
My son was born on February 28 and I hope he’ll be waiting for me
This song makes me cry every time
I'm going to preach my Brother in law's funeral this coming Friday. When you have names and faces that come to mind while you're singing this song it makes the tears flow even more. Sad tears, because we'll miss him, joyful tears, because we'll meet him again on those far side banks. Blessing on your family as you look forward to seeing your grandpa in eternity. Thank you for your music that blesses us all.
Yall, Matt doesn't get enough credit for his guitar playing. High level of skill and cleanliness in his picking.
It's a high level all the way around, I saw them live in Branson Missouri and I can tell you right now I've seen many many bands live in the last 40 years and they hold up. Pure talent at its best.
He has my attention! Great job Matt!
Oh yes, extremely high talent level. Everyone performing of course, but yes as a trainee guitarist myself - I also noticed how he makes it look so easy!
Just what I was thinking
All of the band are very talented but I did think the main or lead singers voice was absolutely fabulous
Beautiful ,one of my favorite gospel songs.
I just discovered the Petersens for myself a couple days ago. Just love the music and the humanity. Family love and support for each other.
Right there with you. They're awesome!
Well you have a lot of 'catching up' to do ! So many great Petersen videos!
Ellen`s voice let shine country-sounds so wonderfull.
Love them. All of the voices and instruments. Ellen's voice and her smile are so beautiful. All of them are.
I love this family. i hope their circle will never be broken.
The Petersens always put their heart and soul into their music. You can see this more than ever in this performance. Another beautiful song.
We've always loved this one. Thank you for putting it out there for us. See you all at the end of Feb.... Can't wait to see you again.
Just love the smiles the Petersen family always has,how re-freshing!
It doesn’t get any better than this!!!
God bless your dear family...
It doesn't matter who sings, it's always brilliant AND worth waiting for.
Sunday morning with the Petersens drinking coffee and chilling what could be better than that.
Woke up this morning, this song by the Petersen's was playing in my mind. Praise the Lord! I thank Him for the Petersen's!
So needed with the current situation in our country and the world...an uplifting song so well done! Thank you Petersens...thank you!🤗❤
Descended Angels from heaven singing warm welcome. Thankyou somuch. Oftentimes I listen Ellen songs.
I'm always impressed with how they support each other...even when they look at each other.
Retracing my steps through your library of music. Yep, it is all still great.
This Terry Smith classic has been covered by hundreds of performers, but I don't believe anyone has topped this treatment of it by The Petersens. Exceptionally well done, group!
The Petersens! Helping through Covid lockdown here in the U.K.
Thank you so much.
Happy Day when the Petersens put out a new song, waiting for your next song always.
Hardrock metal guy sitting here with goosebumps and tears in my eyes. Flawless performance by my favourite band. ; )
There is a steam room I like to go to, built off the side of a mountain in a fancy spa. When I'm alone in there I sing this song every time! With the natural echo, I can sing pretty quietly and it comes out booming. I end up spending hours in there singing The Petersens :)
You bring so much beauty to my life, thank you again!!
Going to Missouri is now no 1 on the bucket list.
Emotional. Superb. And 50 other superlative adjectives. Truly sublime.
Aww Y'all are beautiful inside and out!
At my stage of life, this song brings to mind so many loved ones.
darn it , for a man, I cry entirely too easy. AMAZING group and song, thanks
Love this family; but when I think that I found my favorite, another member blows my mind. You all are smart to stick together the way you do. It is something truly beautiful to see. Thank you!!!
Just an Amazing group and certainly God has Blessed their efforts 🎉
I listen to you most every day. The music lifts my spirit to my Jesus. Keep doing the good job ,the will of the Lord.
They just get better and more charming each day. I love this family group and Emmitt is a wonderful complement to the group. They are so fun to watch and listen to.
The Petersens LIVE - always a great experience
Really enjoyed listening.. Warm regard from Indonesia..
My grandma passed away last week, and I just wanna say I listened to this song A LOT. It brought me a lot of comfort, and this Live version just makes me feel good. Thank you so much guys, y’all truly are amazing 😊
RIP Grandma. Mine passed away July 1999. She was 90.
Juan, so very sorry for your loss. May God bless you and your family always.
Que descanse en paz, en la otra orilla del Jordán.
Even though I know there will be no marriage in heaven except that of Christ and his bride, I hope that I will at least recognize my lifetime wife in Glory one day and have a fond feeling toward her. This is a great love song and always makes me love my wife more.
a young team that transmits traditions, it's very beautiful
Amazing!! as always. They all look so classy! love, love them all! Katie looks absolutely stunning...hrmm
Your music is a place for resting in these confused times. Many thanks to God and to You for the music and your smile. Be blessed. Greatings from Germany.
They NEVER disappoint in their song choice, key, harmonies, melodies, and strong play skills.
Modern Day ....Von Trapp or Carter Family.
God Bless each of you! Please know in 617 this God's Love is appreciated.
PS. You Grandfather is peaceful in God's Arms.
Thank you Petersen family for lifting my spirits in my times of loneliness and depression ❤
Thank you so much for this today. I was just watching my oldest sister's funeral. Between the bad weather and Covid19, I couldn't be there in person. The Church played Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring for a prelude. That had been her wedding March in '61. Farside Banks of Jordan was perfect for me after the funeral.
By the way, I've never heard a Bluegrass version of "Jesu"
Hint Hint
The Petersens always full of love and humanity
This song always stood out in your album as something really special. The way you perform it and especially Ellen's lead make it clear how meaningful and important those words are.
As wonderful as Ellen's voice always is, this vocal performance still stood out.
William Race
Wow what spirit You put into those words, I tried to sing along with You but it's hard when tears can't be held back, God Bless You - Petersens.
God jesus, God jehovah listening your songs, dear Ellen and singers. Nice, very sweet. Congratulations Thankyou.
Absolutely Beautiful. LORD GOD Bless All and stay vigilant.
Sung beautifully by people who believe in the truth they sing. Best version I have heard (sorry Jimmy Fortune, although yours is also superb and sung with a heart for God as well). My mother in law passed yesterday, a strong believer in the Christian faith, and I can imagine her singing this to her husband from Heaven, where she now rests. The lead singer in this sounds a lot like my own daughter, who also sings lead for worship in a major church.
This song cuts DEEP. Just beautiful. 🙏🏻
Beautiful ,this is is one of my most favorite gospel songs.
Thank you so much, this song really cut through my cold old heart, it’s as though the voice of my loved ones passed, tears flowing, praise be to God, thank you Lord for this family and their obedience in sharing the talents You have blessed them with 🙏
love humble lyrics of American country music. Keep cherishing your musical culture
Ive heard many versions but yours tops the list
I agree! 👍👍👍
Check out Jimmy Fortune's version if you haven't already
I agree. My mom just passed in January.
I like Johnny cash and June carter also but this one is very good also
Complete and perfect. Honestly, I think if this beautiful family had a bunny it would sing. This is just gorgeous and what we all need right now. Thank you so much.
Made me cry. GOD bless your precious family.
The best group around, it was sung so beautiful, well done Ellen. Thank you for sharing.
Your Music has blessed my life this morning sitting in my easy chair read my Bible with Covid struggling I wanted to hear some music before I continue reading you Young folks for the first one was the pop-up power forwards you have no idea but then again maybe you do thank you My name is Jim
What a beautiful song, sung by a beautiful family.
A wonderful blessing to listen to them sing.
Thank you for putting tears in this old man's eyes.
May God continue to bless each & every one of you!!
I have never heard the song before. It is the most beautiful thing I ever heard!! Blessings to you and your family!
Ellen is amazing! So beautiful and full of joy!
Thank you guys SO MUCH. I spent a lot of time trying to find someone who could do this song justice, and so far you really are the only ones I've heard--and I've listened to some pretty big names.
Beautiful song and well done by the Petersens may god bless you all and keep on singing
Beautiful harmonies. Great to see a flat top in Ellen's hands on this one. I've worked with many major and local artists in my almost 40 year audio career, and you folks are one of the tightest harmonizing groups I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
Uplifting song in gentle soothing voice, we shall meet on the banks when the time is right.
bang on, too right!
Just reading the comments of others, is evidence of the pleasure and light that you bring to so many. I know your job in heaven one day will be making music with the angels. Makes one long to be away from this world so full of woe...but thankfully we are comforted by your spiritual music. Love you -from South Africa.
I came across your older video of this song at a very very low time in my life and it started me down a path that in time lead me to find my faith in God. Along with prayer, this song has become an everyday ritual for me, and in turn, it has changed my life. for this, I am forever thankful. God bless
The four main ones...That would open ten...I love you Petersens family for the music of light, tears of hope, faith, joy,love...God is Love!🎵🎶🎼❤
So incredibly beautiful... thank you all so much ❤
best I have ever heard
Beautiful.......The Peterson’s warm the soul.........Thanks.
I love your music so much & it made me cry. Great singers!!
That's a beautiful song mini mini of my family made that trip I too will be making that trip who knows when everytime I hear that song I Cry I'm not ashamed by that at all I listen to that song everyday thank you I know it comes from the heart until we meet again have a happy Valentine's Day to you all be safe stay healthy and don't forget pray thank you
I'm still trying to wrap my head around why anyone would give a thumb down... thank you Very enjoyable..
I gave a like because of good singing and playing. It's a pleasant song but I'm not religious. One can like religious music even if not religious eg The Messiah. Only been to one live performance so far. That was in Glasgow many years ago.
Also, gave you a like as well 😄
Not everyone thinks of thumbs up/down the same way. It often isn't even a criticism of the band or song, just expressing a preference of certain music over another, or even how it hits them in the moment. As beautiful and meaningful as this song is and how much I love it now, it would have been painful for me to listen to after my mom died and with my dad in his diminished mental capacity missing her. I don't do a thumbs down, but that's me. But I couldn't have listened to it either. Now I can picture their joy at being together in heaven instead of the sadness of being separated.
A terrific version of this wonderful song, sung in such a beautiful way by Ellen with terrific harmony by Julz and Matt. What more could we want? More video! So great to see The Petersens back. Thank You!
I absolutely love the Petersons their music is exactly what I watched my family do for years, we all played a part in the music in our home and our church at various times. I played drums my other brothers and brother-in-law's play various instruments however the harmonies of my mother and my sisters was definitely harmonies that only a family can achieve. My mother sang Alto for Naomi Sego has a part-time singer and fill in on the road. So the petersens take me back so many years and remind me of such fond memories of my mother and sisters and their harmonies. It's not easy but it is natural. On my bucket list is to see the Petersons and hopefully get to thank them for taking me back to a time that I loved and cherished the memories of the harmonies. Folks these kids are specially talented thanks to their mother and father I'm sure. God bless them for they have truly blessed me taking me back and I absolutely love their music and their voices. God bless them and God bless you
Beautiful voice beautiful song I have to listen to it every couple of days. It would bring a tear to a man with a glass eye. Bless you all
Absolutely beautiful. Brings tears. Tears of hope. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
Great song. This is the first time I've seen Ellen play the guitar. Love her voice. Thank you.
Ellen plays guitar also in the video "High Sierra" th-cam.com/video/g8NFx9B_VH0/w-d-xo.html 😉
Another great job!!!!!!Ellen thank you so much for your sweet spirit, I can tell this family really cares about people.
Ellen is amazing.
I approve this message.
I keep discovering more and more of your songs I haven't heard! I love them all, but the ones that are faith based are just extra special!!
Me too, on all points!
I absolutely love this song for it gives us all some strong hope of seeing loved ones in Paradise. And I absolutely love the so promising message at the end by Ellen ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Your beautiful voice coupled with the reassuring message in the lyrics brings peace beyond peace through HIM!
