The Crossing's Wide Lyrics
Verse I
Imagine gates of pearl and walls of jasper
A city where the streets are made of gold
A river where the crystal water's flowing
A garden where the tree of life will grow
Splendor never known to man awaits them
Who have bowed beneath Mt. Calvary's cleansing flow
All the pain in life I've known will soon be over
A broken heart up there will be unknown
Chorus
I know the crossing's wide but I'm going over
I've come too far this time; I'm going through
They say the Lamb of God lights up that city
This be the day that heaven becomes full view
Verse II
We know that we must one make the crossing
The journey we must take seems cold and dark
Our loves ones have gone on; they've crossed the river
Oh just to know we'll meet again, it warms our hearts
