From the recording Crossing
I love the Carter Family sound and wrote this with that feeling. The Old Testament story of the Jews just before entering The Promised Land provides a metaphor for our lives.

Chorus:
We are crossing, we are crossing
We are crossing the Jordan today
We are crossing, we are crossing
And we’re sure to find our way
We are wandering through the wilderness
We are wandering year to year
Searching for a homeland
Shedding many tears
Chorus:
As we wander we will seek
And discover that we are found
We were lost and oh so lonely
Never knowing where we were bound
Chorus:
So today we’ll stop our wandering
Today we’ll know the peace
That comes when we are listening
And finds us when we are lost
Chorus:
