Two or three people have been doing searches on this site for the lyric’s to “One More River To Cross” so I thought I would help them out. It is a great song; my copy is by the Gaithers CD “Sing Your Blues Away.” It is copyrighted music; so therefore, I did not convert it to MP3 and post it here. But I don’t suppose it would hurt to give you the lyric’s … Throw it in the player and crank it up, that is the way I do it.
One more river to cross,
one more mountain to climb
one more valley that I gotta go thru
leaving my troubles behind
one more battle with the devil
and I know he’ll understand
I am going thru with Jesus hallelujah
Holding onto his nail scarred hand
Holding to his nail scarred hand
I have had a troubles and triumphs
In my little lifespan
An when I am standing alone
And the battle is hot
I always do the best that I can
I must have crossed a million valleys
And shed a million tears
But when I come to the river of Jordon hallelujah
Then I will have no fear
I will have no fear
One more river to cross,
one more mountain to climb
one more valley that I gotta go thru
leaving my troubles behind
one more battle with the devil
and I know he’ll understand
I am going thru with Jesus with hallelujah
Holding to his nail scarred hand
Holding to his nail scarred hand
Yet a lot of people talk about me since I walked this Calvary
This is just another valley I came thru as I pleased
I climbed a lot of mountains,
crossed a lot of streams
Gonna see old Journey, cold and dark
Probably the last for me, whoa probably last for me
One more river to cross,
No no
one more mountain to climb
climbing
one more valley that I gotta go thru
uh huuuh
leaving my troubles behind
troubles behind whoa
one more battle with the devil
yeah
and I know he’ll understand
yeahhhhh
I am going thru with Jesus hallelujah
Holding to his nail scarred hand
hallelujah
Holding to his nail scarred hand
One more river to cross,
Only one more
one more mountain to climb
one more valley that I gotta go thru
leaving my troubles behind
one more battle with the devil
and I know he’ll understand
I am going thru with Jesus hallelujah
Holding to his nail scarred hand
Holding to his nail scarred hand
Holding to his nail scarred hand.
Do it again! (You should be clapping yo’ hands by now!)
One more river to cross,
one more mountain to climb
one more valley that I gotta go thru
leaving my troubles behind
one more battle with the devil
and I know he’ll understand
I am going thru with Jesus with hallelujah
Holding to his nail scarred hand
Holding to his nail scarred hand
Reprise ………..

What do you want from me? I gave you the lyric’s. I told you who it was that sang the song, (TheGaithers) Jeeze Louise, I even gave you the name of the CD where you can find everything you need, what more could you want than that. I don’t have them sorry.
