Verse 1

   D
Oh the river of death lies just before me
           G              D
Can I find a place that I can cross
          D
Or will I be in sin forever
              A           D
Oh Lord don’t let my soul be lost

Chorus

           D
Oh I wanna walk with Christ my savior
             G                 D
For he’s the one that’ll guide me on
               D
All through my life I’ve been a sinner
                   A          D
Now I’m right with God so I’m travelling home

Verse 2

         D
Oh I can hear my savior calling
          G                  D
To me his voice sounds sweet and low
         D
For me I hear my loved ones cheering
               A              D
Oh, praise the Lord I’m ready to go

Verse 3

             D
My life down here will soon be over
             G                   D
And this old world holds nothing for me
            D
He saved my soul and He made me happy
               A              D
That beautiful land I’m going to see
