I just lost my husband of 41 years New Years Eve. (41 years married, 43 years together) I can't think of anything that could be more shocking than to find a loved one on the bedroom floor......gone. I'm still in shock. It was just so unexpected. The coroner said it was a massive heart attack and at the age of only 63! That may sound old to some of you youngsters out there but believe me, it's not. My prayer is that you will come running through the shallow waters, reaching for my hand........ when my time comes! I love and miss you Jim! Until we meet again....keep drawing those pictures in the sand! Fly high angel!
My mate died way too young after 22 years with him. He visits me in dreams. We hugged for a long time in the last dream this week. He was with his brothers. No one spoke. I still can feel that long hug.
Get some help with your grief. It is a shock and 63 years is way to young. You lose so much - a liver, a best friend, a confidant, a provider of many things and I’m sure he filled countless other roles in your life and heart! God bless you!
My dad died new year's eve Dec 31 2005 ..after being married 41 years to mom..sadly I saw mom gone 4 years ago wen I went to her house to do dialysis on her❤..my condolences to u all who have lost ur loved ones🙏💞
My Dad passed away in April of this year, and this was one of the songs we had played at at his funeral. My Mom chose this song. The other song we had played was "God Bless The USA" by Lee Greenwood. I chose that song, because my Dad was in the Navy during the Korean War. His funeral was a military funeral. He and My Mom celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary last December. Everybody who knew my Dad and who loves him misses him so much! He was one of those people who never seemed to have any enemies - very few, if any at all. My Dad was a Christian, and I know he's in Heaven with Jesus. We all love you and miss you, Dad. We'll see you again when the Lord says it's time.
I don't believe Jimmy wrote this but my, he wrote some good ones! The only gospel one I know of....or have heard is "I Believe" He wrote some great country songs! Including, but not limited to, "Elizabeth" "My Only Love" "Name On The Wall" "Too Much On My Heart" "Forever" Some awesome, wholesome, clean 🎶 🎵 music! Love you Jimmy Fortune!! I've noticed everytime I've watched this that 3 of the 4 (quartet) that was formed for the video at The Gaither Studio """"Brotherly Love"""" is here. The only one missing is Bradley Walker. Mike Rogers, Ben Isaac and Jimmy Fortune are here. The four of them should do more!! They make up an awesome quartet!!
4 months ago God took my husband of 61years home to heaven. We called this song our song . Every day each morning since his funeral I have listened to your beautiful voice . God blessed you with such talent thanks to God. Keep singing .
My mother was in hospice care ready to make her journey to Heaven. I told her to go to Jordan's River and wait for me when it is my time to go on to Heaven. We spoke of it earlier also. I took care of my mother for 1 1/2 years before she p passed I wouldn't trade those years for anything!! I miss her so very much and cry ALOT😢. I love this song Jimmy I only wish my mother could have heard it....
I'm in the process of planning my funeral, and this song gives me hope my late husband will be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan, and come running through the shallow waters reaching for my hand. It's such a welcome thought. I have faith it will be. ❤❤❤
My son died Feb 2020. I found this song shortly after. I listen to it often even though I cry each time. It gives me hope especially the chorus. He is so amazing.
My mama passed away this week. We had a talented friend play his guitar and sing this as she had requested. I so love knowing she’ll be waiting on me. I’ll see you soon Mama. ❤️
For two days we who love God's Son Lord Jesus, tears of saddness, a heart in despair, a soul so crushed can now rejoice. Tears of joy, a heart so enlightened and a soul skipping about like a joe around it's mother. I awoke with a smile a mile long. My Saviour, my Lord Jesus, God's Holy Son is alive. An empty grave proves He lives. On the third day my Lord has risen to reach this sick son of God to save him. "I thank You my Lord Jesus for not leaving your brother and friend to be a orphan. Bless You Son of God, bless You." God bless
My husband heard this song one night when Jimmy Fortune was on Larry's Country Diner. He wanted it played at his funeral when the time came. Well he passed back in January and I has it played at his funeral. We were married 56 years and he had been really sick the past 3 years, and I know he is in a better place but I sure do miss him. That is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard and it will always be special to me .
Just found this song. What a song. As a born and raised East TN, I am so proud. Raised by Godly parents who led me to Jesus Christ as my savior. Still blessed to live in East TN.
I just listened to this song for the first time....My husband passed 4 weeks ago today and it has been extremely difficult even though he had been sick for the past 2 years and I know he is no longer suffering. This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you.
Almost 2 months God took my husband of almost 60 years. This song I had played at his funeral and I have played it every day since. It is so beautiful and I thank Jimmie Fortune and his beautiful voice for singing this song. It brings comfort to my grieving heart.
No dpubt God lead me to this song while listening on youtube. It just popped up and I had never heard it before. I lost my husband suddenly and have found comfort in my deep grief from this marvelous performance. Rather than cry like many slow sad songs, I smile all the way thru it picturing my husbands joy. When you lose your soul mate you have a constant tie to the promises of God which my loving Ernie is now experiencing. Thank you Jimmy Fortune for offering your gift back to the Lord. May He continue to bless you.
I heard this song by Jimmy Fortune a few years ago and immediately loved it. My husband of 54 years passed 11 years ago and I decided I wanted this song played at my funeral because I know Wally is waiting for me. I am so happy to find this CD today. Every other place I looked it said this CD was no longer available. Even Amazon didn't have it! It will sound so beautiful when it's played. I hope the people listen carefully to the words! I miss you every day Wally but I will see you on the far banks of Jordan.
This is a very touching song! When my mom passed my dad told her when I am in heaven I will look for you and marry you all over again! Even though this song brought tears to my eyes…it reminds me of that beautiful promise that we believers have about Heaven!
I recently lost my wife of nearly 52 years after a 7-8 year journey with Alzheimer's Disease. And a dear friend, "Chappy", who is a retired Baptist minister (and retired as a Lt. Col. in the Army after serving two tours in 'Nam!) and who plays the dobro, while I play the guitar and sing bluegrass myself, sent me this video. I had seen it before and had actually performed it. But it so struck home under these recent circumstances. No one does it like Jimmy Fortune!
This is one of my all time favorite Christian songs sung beautifully by Jimmy Fortune(as it was by Johnny and June ). This is how I view my greeting with my husband who passed sadly away long ago. Miss you babe ,but know Jesus is coming soon to take us home and I can hardly wait to see you there.
As we elders get older, our steps become smaller and we weary. One thing that does not get smaller nor weary, is our crossing of the Jordan. "Come Lord Jesus, come." God bless
A week ago my husband was called home. Most likely we listened to this song 100’s of time together. Now it’s my favorite memory with him . 61 years were very best possible. Now he is sitting on the “Far Side of Jordan “ with his hand stretched out saying come to me Rita. I’ve got my ticket that Jesus died for and ready to go . Be patient my love it could be anytime.
I know what you mean! My dad waited for my mom from June 21 2006 until last year July 6 2020. I could just see my dad with his hand out, taking my mom's and bowing at Jesus feet!!! Now they wait for me and my 3 siblings!! It won't be long!!
I watched and listened to all the artists that have recorded this song. Without a doubt this is the best one and it will never be done any better by anyone else! Not only is Jimmy but all the rst are true professionals and the joy they have doing a song like this is clear!
I could listen to Jimmy Fortune all day long. His voice is truly outstanding and amazing. It is majestic!! God must be thrilled with the tributes he receives from this talented singer!!
I love this song I pray to see my husband lenwood Cleveland hallman again we were married for over 43 years he passed away march 12 2018 miss him so much love you my husband.
My husband told me that he was "gifting" this song to me to play when he was gone. It has been a blessing so many days and nights when I needed to hear him and be near him again. Our Lord and Savior has him in his hands until then. Darling I miss you so much!
This song is every emotion at once. The beautiful things we will see, and the release of all sickness, pain, and sadness will be no more. Just an eternity of God's grace, and more love than we can imagine. Happiness abounding, and bountiful for us all...
This song says it all. We lost our 20 yr old son, and I know when we see him again, he will run to us and we will never have to let him go again.. We were so lucky to see Jimmy in concert a couple of months ago, he sang this song. It always brings tears to my eye... He is a fantastic singer. This song brings some comfort just picturing how it will be on that day..
Just heard this song for the first time a couple of days ago, and it was exactly what I needed to hear at the time. My husband died nearly 5 years ago, and I've been getting more and more depressed feeling distance growing between us. Then I heard Jimmy Fortune sing this song and it brightened my whole life up.
Happy Sabbath God's family. Our Saviour is now at rest in His tomb. His Father's angels are watching over Him and so is His Father. There is no more lies, no more pain, no more mocking. Those who spilled blood by placing a crown of thorns upon His Holy head to mock Him, will faint and tremble when they see Lord Jesus wearing a Crown of His Father's finest gold. God bless
As the day ends and the evening beckons my thoughts are turning toward tomorrow. The day our Saviour washes our dirt from us. Tears already flood my eyes knowing what is to come to a Man who loved me so much He died a painful death. This weekend will see a flooding of sorrow for this man(me) and his saddened heart. It's like this every year for me. There is always a low then a crescendo after Lord Jesus resurrection. God bless
My husband died suddenly on New Year Day ..This song with Jimmy singing was chosen by me & was played at my husbands funeral service at the chapel , on the 11th....I miss my hubby....& thank you Jimmy for such a beautiful song ..Blessings from Australia xxx
This song brings me a lot of comfort. I lost my brother and my wife and I listen to song I think of my brother he was baptized in the river Jordan right before he died.
Polly, my Mom felt exactly the same way after my Dad passed in October 2015. This song gave her great comfort in learning how to go on without him. It gives hope of a joyous reunion someday. Bless you Jimmy and thank you for bringing so much comfort to those who have lost loved ones! Sincerely, TK
I lost my soulmate Jan13,2022 He decanted this song many years ago. When he passed away we were listening to the Song I was holding him in my arms and looking into each other eyes. I love you so much my love, and he always say I love you to hun.
My Husband and soulmate of 45 year passed away a year ago. This song touches me so deeply to think of him waiting and reaching for my hand. And to see Him and Jesus. Amen Love and life everlasting through Jesus Christ.
This song is so touching I lost my husband last year on Easter Sunday we've been married 60 years he was my soulmate my best friend he was my everything life is so lonely now without him I love him with all my heart can't wait to see him again
My sweet aunt jean just sent me this song. Her husband and soul mate sent her this a few days before he went home to jesus. 😥My momma, her sister just passed away. Our hearts are breaking but I did find comfort in this song.
I just heard this song for the first time and it moved me...4 years ago I lost my dear wife of over 40 years due to cancer. She'll be reaching for my hand as we both know Jesus as our personal Savior. Can't wait to see her again soon.
You will never find a bigger Lew DeWitt fan than me. Having said that, Jimmy is a great talent and was probably the only person that could take Lew's place.
I saw Roget Miller’s son do this song on Country Family reunion last night. So that’s why I typed it in to hear Roger Miller sing it. After listening to him I saw your video. Great Job! ❤
5/6/21 People who don't like bluegrass can't hear the songs or the beauty. I am trying to appreciate contemporary gospel. But "Yes Lord, we will Ride!' gets my blood going. This is beautiful.
Thanks for supporting my songs love, I’m picking random from my friends and fans ob TH-cam for a reading Would you like me to consider you in a reading xx.🤍🤗
Happy Sabbath God's family. Today the Temple is open. The Lord of the Sabbath is in. His voice to teach will be heard. "Happy Sabbath Lord Jesus." God bless
Bro. Jimmy i have always loved your voice. When you were with the Statler Brothers the group was the best on the field for Jesus. Now your one of the finest solos on field.
My Dad had me listen to this beautiful song a short while before he passed away. I listen to it often. It makes me weep like a baby, but I feel like it is our song, so I like to hear it. My Dad was my most favorite person on the face of the earth. He passed on April 13, 2021 and I miss him more than words can describe.
So sorry for your loss Donna. I felt the same way about my Dad. He's been gone almost 28 years, but he's never far from my heart... And I know he's sitting in the sand, drawing pictures while he waits to welcome the rest of us still here. Hugs to you...
Thank you Father for allowing this to take place and all because you loved your people so much you sent your only son Jesus of Nazareth to pay the penalty of mans sin with His very own blood.....thank you for Calvary....for making the new birth possible to all who will believe what the master said is saying....I am the way the truth and the life and no man cometh unto the Father but by me.....saith the son of God Jesus of Nazareth who brings to all who will come to Him and be saved....grace and mercy....and eternal lilfe...thank you for being such a good Father to all who call upon your name.....good singing also...gifted by the spirit of the living God....bless you for singing this song.......
I know I don't know you but have you ever looked up a Roman flogging then you will know the real meaning of love plus he had been up for close to 36 hrs of torture
Good Sabbath morning God's family. Today we allow God to refresh us for the coming six days. Today the Lord of the Sabbath, Lord Jesus comforts us in His love. God bless
This was my mothers favorite song and singer. It makes it a little easier to go on being able to hear it since it has only been a week since she passed. It sounds just like her and something she would do. I can see her reaching out as she runs through the water to greet me.
Most beautiful country music there is I’ve listened to it all all my life. I made it two years old and I still love it. I just pray for this keep saying it.
After my husband passed away. this suddenly in our home and I was trying to find comfort in Jimmys music this song kept coming to me to listen and when it did it was if these words were written for us.His health had been bad for years and getting worse and when I paid attention to the words it was as if he was talking to me.
Happy Sabbath God's family. Today I remember the words of Lord Jesus in Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me 'Lord, Lord', will enter the Kingdom of Heaven but the one who does the will of My Father who is in Heaven." Today I remember to keep this day holy by keeping it different from the other six days. God bless. From the House of God the House of Prayer the House of Worship.
Happy Sabbath morning God's family. As the sun removes the darkness of night, the birds pouring out their many different choruses, I listen to those of Lord Jesus bring comfort to a tiring soul with own many choruses. "You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures for evermore." PSA 16:11. God bless
Happy Sabbath God's family. A beautiful singer whose voice comforts a wanting soul. Another vessel of God's finest clay. As my aching body rests, I listen to a blessed of God. God bless
THIS WAS ONE OF MY FATHER’S FAVORITE SONGS AND WAS PLAYED AT HIS FUNERAL. MY MOM AND HIM WOULD GO TO THE LITTLE OLE OPREY IN FAYETTEVILLE AR. VERY COMFORTING TO KNOW HE WILL BE WAITING…
Like is out of the question !! If this one doesn't touch your heart then you must not have one !!!!! Not only a great song but a tremendous artist singing it !!🎸🎸
I have no use for non believers. My opinion. Think what you want but don’t try to rain on we believers. Beautiful song. I feel the same as the other lady. My husband passed unexpectedly n loved me almost better than life. I’m playing t again n again!!!
While Mr Fortune does indeed have a pleasant voice, not enough has been said about the song's arrangement, the skill of the musicians and most notably, the incredibly tight harmonies.
"Far Side Banks Of Jordan" I believe my steps are growing wearier each day Still I've got a journey on my mind Lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay and my one regret is leaving you behind ---- And 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 a shout! And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand If it proves to be His will that I'm the first to cross And some how I've a feeling it will be When it comes time to travel likewise don't feel lost For I will be the first one that you'll see ---- And 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 a shout! And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand Through this life we've laboured hard to earn our meager fare It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away Until you'll come then we'll see paradise ---- And 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 a shout! And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand
I just lost my husband of 41 years New Years Eve. (41 years married, 43 years together) I can't think of anything that could be more shocking than to find a loved one on the bedroom floor......gone. I'm still in shock. It was just so unexpected. The coroner said it was a massive heart attack and at the age of only 63! That may sound old to some of you youngsters out there but believe me, it's not. My prayer is that you will come running through the shallow waters, reaching for my hand........ when my time comes! I love and miss you Jim! Until we meet again....keep drawing those pictures in the sand! Fly high angel!
My mate died way too young after 22 years with him. He visits me in dreams. We hugged for a long time in the last dream this week. He was with his brothers. No one spoke. I still can feel that long hug.
I understand I lost my wife Jan.12th 1024. I love all this music. God Bless ❤🙏. Don.
God has a plan for us while we are here on earth and when it's our turn to leave won't that be a beautiful reunion day!
Get some help with your grief. It is a shock and 63 years is way to young. You lose so much - a liver, a best friend, a confidant, a provider of many things and I’m sure he filled countless other roles in your life and heart! God bless you!
My dad died new year's eve Dec 31 2005 ..after being married 41 years to mom..sadly I saw mom gone 4 years ago wen I went to her house to do dialysis on her❤..my condolences to u all who have lost ur loved ones🙏💞
Played this at my Dad's funeral. He loved this version. Brought a lot of tears and peace.
Playing this at funeral for my husband of 62 yrs.

We all love you and miss you, Dad. We'll see you again when the Lord says it's time.
This man is undoubtedly one of the finest singers of our lifetime. Country music , Christian music, songwriter, he does it all.
This song was written by Terry Smith...

I heard Johnny and June Carter Cash sing this year's ago. I love the Cash's but I gotta say I'd rather hear Jimmy perform it!
I don't believe Jimmy wrote this but my, he wrote some good ones! The only gospel one I know of....or have heard is "I Believe"
He wrote some great country songs! Including, but not limited to,
"Elizabeth"
"My Only Love"
"Name On The Wall"
"Too Much On My Heart"
"Forever"
Some awesome, wholesome, clean 🎶 🎵 music! Love you Jimmy Fortune!!
I've noticed everytime I've watched this that 3 of the 4 (quartet) that was formed for the video at The Gaither Studio """"Brotherly Love"""" is here. The only one missing is Bradley Walker.
Mike Rogers, Ben Isaac and Jimmy Fortune are here. The four of them should do more!! They make up an awesome quartet!!
4 months ago God took my husband of 61years home to heaven. We called this song our song . Every day each morning since his funeral I have listened to your beautiful voice . God blessed you with such talent thanks to God. Keep singing .

For two days we who love God's Son Lord Jesus, tears of saddness, a heart in despair, a soul so crushed can now rejoice.

Jimmy Fortune a former Statler boy always sung great songs
Yes he’s great!
Beautiful song
God gave Jimmy a beautiful voice I’m so happy jimmy uses the gift for Gods glory. Wow what a great singer
Beautiful clear voice.

I lost my husband 48 yrs this was his favorite song we played this at his service thank you Jesus
A week ago my husband was called home. Most likely we listened to this song 100’s of time together. Now it’s my favorite memory with him . 61 years were very best possible. Now he is sitting on the “Far Side of Jordan “ with his hand stretched out saying come to me Rita. I’ve got my ticket that Jesus died for and ready to go . Be patient my love it could be anytime.
My husband died on the 4th of July..This song was played at his funeral.Jimmy Fortune has a beautiful voice
This is my dad waiting for my mother. They are both gone now. I love it and cry over it every day. I hope that is where they are together.
I know what you mean! My dad waited for my mom from June 21 2006 until last year July 6 2020. I could just see my dad with his hand out, taking my mom's and bowing at Jesus feet!!! Now they wait for me and my 3 siblings!! It won't be long!!
My dad and mom are both in heaven no doubt for they both loved Jesus no end. I’ve got a sister there too I hope they all are enjoying listening. to
My mom just passed away...24 years after my dad. I know he was waiting there for her.
I watched and listened to all the artists that have recorded this song. Without a doubt this is the best one and it will never be done any better by anyone else! Not only is Jimmy but all the rst are true professionals and the joy they have doing a song like this is clear!

Listen Close Folks ... This is what REAL Music sounds like. Not the CRAP they push off on us calling it Music. God Bless All you Folks, Jim
Very true. Greetings from 🏴
Thanks Jim same to you. It doesn’t get any than this
Makes my ears stand up and joyfully dance on the side of my head.........Praise the LORD for such beautiful music!
Wonderful description of how this makes you feel. You made my heart smile. God bless.

Written in 1975 by Terry Smith, who I am proud to know. This version is great with Jimmy's voice
Thank you for this wittness as he is expressing his music. Thank you GOD in the name of JESUS.
This song says it all. We lost our 20 yr old son, and I know when we see him again, he will run to us and we will never have to let him go again.. We were so lucky to see Jimmy in concert a couple of months ago, he sang this song. It always brings tears to my eye... He is a fantastic singer. This song brings some comfort just picturing how it will be on that day..
Just heard this song for the first time a couple of days ago, and it was exactly what I needed to hear at the time. My husband died nearly 5 years ago, and I've been getting more and more depressed feeling distance growing between us. Then I heard Jimmy Fortune sing this song and it brightened my whole life up.
Mary Miller God bless you and keep you safe, He will.
I'm sorry for your lost Mary. Then this song is for you. Greatings from the Netherland
Mary Miller
That is sad
God Bless you Mary
My daughter who does not care for country music but she asked me who was this because he had such a beautiful voice.
This was played at my husbands funeral.. It makes me cry, but i love the message it gives me. .
Happy Sabbath God's family. Our Saviour is now at rest in His tomb. His Father's angels are watching over Him and so is His Father. There is no more lies, no more pain, no more mocking. Those who spilled blood by placing a crown of thorns upon His Holy head to mock Him, will faint and tremble when they see Lord Jesus wearing a Crown of His Father's finest gold. God bless
He has a wonderful voice, this is my favorite version of this song ❤
@@martinkennedy974ciao Martin! 🙋♀️😍😘💘🍀
As the day ends and the evening beckons my thoughts are turning toward tomorrow. The day our Saviour washes our dirt from us. Tears already flood my eyes knowing what is to come to a Man who loved me so much He died a painful death. This weekend will see a flooding of sorrow for this man(me) and his saddened heart. It's like this every year for me. There is always a low then a crescendo after Lord Jesus resurrection. God bless
My husband died suddenly on New Year Day ..This song with Jimmy singing was chosen by me & was played at my husbands funeral service at the chapel , on the 11th....I miss my hubby....& thank you Jimmy for such a beautiful song ..Blessings from Australia xxx
I just lost my mom and I can see her reaching her hand out to me when I get there Amen
I played 3 songs at my wife’s funeral yesterday and this was one of them. Thank you
I had this played at my partners funeral in November. He loved it too.
Bless you my friend...
This song brings me a lot of comfort. I lost my brother and my wife and I listen to song I think of my brother he was baptized in the river Jordan right before he died.
Polly, my Mom felt exactly the same way after my Dad passed in October 2015. This song gave her great comfort in learning how to go on without him. It gives hope of a joyous reunion someday. Bless you Jimmy and thank you for bringing so much comfort to those who have lost loved ones! Sincerely, TK
Happy Sabbath my Father. Happy Sabbath my Saviour. Happy Sabbath Spirit of Truth. Happy Sabbath children of God. God bless

My Husband and soulmate of 45 year passed away a year ago. This song touches me so deeply to think of him waiting and reaching for my hand. And to see Him and Jesus. Amen Love and life everlasting through Jesus Christ.
This song is so touching I lost my husband last year on Easter Sunday we've been married 60 years he was my soulmate my best friend he was my everything life is so lonely now without him I love him with all my heart can't wait to see him again
This world is but a stepping stone.
My sweet aunt jean just sent me this song. Her husband and soul mate sent her this a few days before he went home to jesus. 😥My momma, her sister just passed away. Our hearts are breaking but I did find comfort in this song.
@@belindabhhill8241 the version of The Petersens is very joy-and beautiful as well. th-cam.com/video/W_otTOZEFYY/w-d-xo.html
I just heard this song for the first time and it moved me...4 years ago I lost my dear wife of over 40 years due to cancer. She'll be reaching for my hand as we both know Jesus as our personal Savior. Can't wait to see her again soon.
I will see my beautiful daughter waiting on me! I am coming Sheila and Daddy will be here soon!
Hi there I’m Blake
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
You will never find a bigger Lew DeWitt fan than me.
Having said that, Jimmy is a great talent and was probably the only person that could take Lew's place.
My wife passed on ( can’t say died) 32 years ago, I really hope her and my puppies are waiting for me. I believe they are.
I believe they will my friend. God bless.
This Man has a fabulously Beautiful voice
I saw Roget Miller’s son do this song on Country Family reunion last night. So that’s why I typed it in to hear Roger Miller sing it. After listening to him I saw your video. Great Job! ❤
This is a real masterpiece. I hope to sing it one day in Heaven with my grandma who passed in 2014.❤
Happy Sabbath morning God's family. Today we come before the Son of Man who is even Lord of the Sabbath. Mark 2:28. God bless
Never heard this song before. It is absolutely beautiful. Jimmy Fortune sings it superbly. He is one of my favorite singers.
I heard Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash sing it many years back but NOBODY can sing it quite like Jimmy Fortune can!!!!
Am so greatful we have a blessed hope in Jesus !
Thank God for a man like this. I love him and his singing.
How are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
In the past 2 yrs not related to Covid I’ve lost my brother , my mom and dad! What a reunion it will be to be met by Jesus and those we love!
I miss you mom❤this was played at my mother's funeral I am going to meet 💔her when I leave this life love you mom ❤
5/6/21 People who don't like bluegrass can't hear the songs or the beauty. I am trying to appreciate contemporary gospel. But "Yes Lord, we will Ride!' gets my blood going. This is beautiful.
Hello Linda 👋 how are you doing today?
Another fabulous song, keep singing Jimmy,we love you.
This is one of my favorites that Mr. Fortune does! I always think of my my mother when I hear it. I love you mother, I'll see you again someday! ❤
Such a wonderful, gospel song, such beautiful harmony. God's music, it doesn't get any better than this ~ ~
Thanks for supporting my songs love, I’m picking random from my friends and fans ob TH-cam for a reading Would you like me to consider you in a reading xx.🤍🤗
Happy Sabbath God's family. Today the Temple is open. The Lord of the Sabbath is in. His voice to teach will be heard. "Happy Sabbath Lord Jesus." God bless
Bro. Jimmy i have always loved your voice. When you were with the Statler Brothers the group was the best on the field for Jesus. Now your one of the finest solos on field.
My Dad had me listen to this beautiful song a short while before he passed away. I listen to it often. It makes me weep like a baby, but I feel like it is our song, so I like to hear it. My Dad was my most favorite person on the face of the earth. He passed on April 13, 2021 and I miss him more than words can describe.
So sorry for your loss Donna. I felt the same way about my Dad. He's been gone almost 28 years, but he's never far from my heart... And I know he's sitting in the sand, drawing pictures while he waits to welcome the rest of us still here. Hugs to you...
@@jeaniwarish5024 hugs to you also. We will meet our Dads one day.
Thank you Father for allowing this to take place and all because you loved your people so much you sent your only son Jesus of Nazareth to pay the penalty of mans sin with His very own blood.....thank you for Calvary....for making the new birth possible to all who will believe what the master said is saying....I am the way the truth and the life and no man cometh unto the Father but by me.....saith the son of God Jesus of Nazareth who brings to all who will come to Him and be saved....grace and mercy....and eternal lilfe...thank you for being such a good Father to all who call upon your name.....good singing also...gifted by the spirit of the living God....bless you for singing this song.......
I know I don't know you but have you ever looked up a Roman flogging then you will know the real meaning of love plus he had been up for close to 36 hrs of torture

Amen Beverly
Good Sabbath morning God's family. Today we allow God to refresh us for the coming six days. Today the Lord of the Sabbath, Lord Jesus comforts us in His love. God bless
This was my mothers favorite song and singer. It makes it a little easier to go on being able to hear it since it has only been a week since she passed. It sounds just like her and something she would do. I can see her reaching out as she runs through the water to greet me.
I'm sorry for your loss. ❤
Most beautiful country music there is I’ve listened to it all all my life. I made it two years old and I still love it. I just pray for this keep saying it.
A song of a career. The harmony was divine. The soaring soprano voice was suberb. Job well done. Thank you all.
I lost both my oldest boys last year not even two months apart. And I can't wait until I see them again
Listening to this beautiful singing invites me to think, "what a joy to be in God's family." God bless
Thank you lord for your son Jesus ,looking forward to seeing him in person
After my husband passed away. this suddenly in our home and I was trying to find comfort in Jimmys music this song kept coming to me to listen and when it did it was if these words were written for us.His health had been bad for years and getting worse and when I paid attention to the words it was as if he was talking to me.
So sorry for you
Happy Sabbath God's family. Today I remember the words of Lord Jesus in Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me 'Lord, Lord', will enter the Kingdom of Heaven but the one who does the will of My Father who is in Heaven." Today I remember to keep this day holy by keeping it different from the other six days. God bless. From the House of God the House of Prayer the House of Worship.
It all comes from his heart and you feel every word .Love Jimmys voice 👌👌👌👌👌👌
Happy Sabbath morning God's family. As the sun removes the darkness of night, the birds pouring out their many different choruses, I listen to those of Lord Jesus bring comfort to a tiring soul with own many choruses. "You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures for evermore." PSA 16:11. God bless
Happy Sabbath God's family. A beautiful singer whose voice comforts a wanting soul. Another vessel of God's finest clay. As my aching body rests, I listen to a blessed of God. God bless
THIS WAS ONE OF MY FATHER’S FAVORITE SONGS AND WAS PLAYED AT HIS FUNERAL. MY MOM AND HIM WOULD GO TO THE LITTLE OLE OPREY IN FAYETTEVILLE AR. VERY COMFORTING TO KNOW HE WILL BE WAITING…
@@martinkennedy974ciao Martin! 🙋♀️😍😘💘🍀
How could anybody not like this song?? God bless jimmy
There's always gonna be the trolls and the non believers.
Wow! 4 million plus love it!!!
The same way so many fools voted for Joe Biden.
Like is out of the question !! If this one doesn't touch your heart then you must not have one !!!!!
Not only a great song but a tremendous artist singing it !!🎸🎸
I have no use for non believers. My opinion. Think what you want but don’t try to rain on we believers.
Beautiful song. I feel the same as the other lady. My husband passed unexpectedly n loved me almost better than life.
I’m playing t again n again!!!
tender , soulful, sweetly .Gently as a pastor's eulogy. only a pro's touch can minister this way
can't get enough of this beautiful song. I play it all the time
What a comfort thinking of the crossing. It gives we of God's Household the patience to wait because we know it will happen. God bless
As much as I love Jimmy Fortune and the way he does this cut, just listen to that group!!!
They are amazing together ,they are in perfect harmony and should become a permanent quartet without a doubt ,they would be topping the charts !
I have been reading through all the comments to see if anyone knows who the girl violinist is. Her voice is superb.
@@raewynbryson3354her name is Sydni Perry Elhubushi. She's been touring with Carrie Underwood now for years.
While Mr Fortune does indeed have a pleasant voice, not enough has been said about the song's arrangement, the skill of the musicians and most notably, the incredibly tight harmonies.
Jimmy Fortune with Mike Rogers, Sydni Perry and Ben Isaacs as background vocals, awesome, what a perfect blend of voices!
"Far Side Banks Of Jordan"
I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
Still I've got a journey on my mind
Lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay
and my one regret is leaving you behind
---- And 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 a shout!
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand
If it proves to be His will that I'm the first to cross
And some how I've a feeling it will be
When it comes time to travel likewise don't feel lost
For I will be the first one that you'll see
---- And 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 a shout!
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand
Through this life we've laboured hard to earn our meager fare
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
I'll just rest here on this shore and turn my eyes away
Until you'll come then we'll see paradise
---- And 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 a shout!
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand
Beautifully done !! Love his voice. !!
yes. I could listen all day long. every day. pray for me. cancer is trying to destroy me. but my God still heals
