Trying to Get a Glimpse Songtext
von The Cathedrals

Standing, I′m standing by the river deep and wide
And I am gazing, I'm a-gazing across the raging tide
And I am standing, I′m a-standing by the river, by the river
Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side, other side

Standing on the banks of the river
Looking beyond, looking beyond the river
Standing on the banks of the river
Looking for a home, looking for a home to heaven
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, up in the sky

Standing, I'm standing by the river deep and wide
And I am gazing, I′m a-gazing across the raging tide
And I am standing, I′m a-standing by the river, by the river
Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side, other side


Standing there waiting for the boatman
Ready to go, ready to go to heaven
Standing there waiting for the boatman
On to that shore, on to that shore of Jordan
When I see the lights of that city and behold my Savior there
Then I know forever I′ll be in my Savior's care

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 a-
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, other side

Standing, I'm standing by the river deep and wide
And I am gazing, I′m a-gazing across the raging tide
And I am standing, I′m a-standing by the river, by the river
Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side, other side

Trying to get a glimpse of what′s over on the other
Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other
Trying to get a glimpse of what′s over on the other
Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side


Standing, I′m a-standing by the river deep and wide
And I am gazing, I'm a-gazing across the raging tide
And I am standing, I'm a-standing by the river, by the river
Trying to get a glimpse of what′s over on the other side, other side

Standing, I′m a-standing by the river deep and wide
And I am gazing, I'm a-gazing across the raging tide
And I am standing, I′m a-standing by the river, by the river
Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other
Trying to get a glimpse of what′s over on the other
Trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side
Other side, other side, oh, the other side
