Across The Bridge
Composer(s): Walter Scott
Performer(s): Jim Reeves; Clarence Fountain



I had lived a life of sin in this world were living in
I had done forbidden things I shouldn't do
I met a beggar along the way, and I asked him where to stay
Where I'd find real happiness and love that's true

Just follow footsteps of the King and you'll hear the voices sing
They'll be singing out the glory of the Lamb
The river of Jordan will be near, the sound of trumpets you will hear
You'll behold the sweetest voice ever known to man

Many in this worldly throng traveling in the paths of wrong
Never stop to pray and find the Savior true
There's a grand and glorious place where we'll meet Him face to face
In a happy land beyond the starry blue

Across the bridge, there's no more sorrow
Across the bridge, theres' no more pain
The Sun will shine across the river
And you'll never be unhappy again
