Trying To Get A Glimpse
by Ernie Haase

(Hook)
Standing by the river, Gazing cross the raging tide
Standing by the river, trying to get a glimpse
Of what's over on the other side, other side.

Verse 1
Standing on the banks of the river
Looking beyond, looking beyond (The river, ooh)
Standing on the banks of the river
Looking for a home, Looking for a home (To Heaven, ahh)
Just to get a glimpse of my Jesus
And that home up there on high
Looking for the light of my Savior
Up in the sky

(Repeat Hook)

Verse 2
Standing there waiting for the boat man
Ready to go, ready to go (To heaven, ooh)
Standing there waiting for the boatman
On that shore, On that shore (Of Jordan, ahh)
Just to get a glimpse of that city
And behold my Savior there
Then I'll know forever I'll be in my Savior's care.

(BRIDGE)
Well I was standing on the banks
When I saw that old ship take my mama home
I was standing on the banks when daddy
Crossed the river and left me all alone
Now I'm standing on the banks
Just waiting for my ride to Heaven's golden shore
And I'm, trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side

Repeat Hook
