Lyrics: The Water Is Wide/deep River

The water is wide, I cannot cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

There is a ship and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim
Deep river, my home is over Jordan
Deep river, lord, I want to cross over into campground
Deep river, my home is over Jordan
Mmm, deep river, lord, I want to cross over into campground

Oh don't you want to go to that gospel feast
That promised land where all is peace
For deep river, lord, I want to cross over into campground

The water is wide, I cannot cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row
And both shall row
And both shall row, my love and I
