- This song will be forever special to us as we learned it for our grandpa's funeral a few years ago. There are so many people who have championed our music and cheered us on that are no longer with us. It is such an encouragement to know that we will see them again on the "Far Side Banks of Jordan."
Fun fact: Ellen is using her husband Michael's guitar in this song!

►LYRICS - Far Side Banks of Jordan
I'll admit my steps are growing wearier each day
Still I've got a certain journey on my mind
The lures of this ol' world have ceased to make me wanna stay
My one regret is leaving you behind
If it proves to be His will that I'm the first to cross
And somehow I've a feeling it will be
When it comes your turn to travel likewise, don't feel lost
For I will be the first one that you'll see
I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
An' when I see you coming, I will rise up with the shout
And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand
Through this life we've labored long to earn a meager fare
It's brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
So I'll just rest here on the shore and turn my eyes away
Until you come, then we'll see paradise
I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I'll be sitting drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming, I will rise up with the shout
And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand [x2]
And come running through the shallow waters, reaching for your hand

Thanks Liz!
Hello Liz! Our lady on the job! Good to see you again. Ellen is so perfect for singing lead on this. I've missed them.
Love u guys thx
Thank y’all
Thank YOU !
Made me think of my wife of 45 years that passed away in April 2020. So looking forward to seeing her again one day in paradise.
A great song sung by a family who not only harmonizes so well together but who also brings some harmony to this crazy world we live in.
The beautiful voice of Ellen, so nice clear and strong. Her diction is perfect and every word she sings is so clear and pure.
My wife just passed and I THANK ALL OF YOUS FOR THIS SONG!! GOD BLESS!
This song strengthens my faith
I lost my 3 toddler children to a house fire in 2010 lost my father in 2020 and now my mother in 2022.
Everything I love I lost
Hopefully there's something left for my future
Praying for you right now!
Dear James,
Your toddler children are FOR SURE waiting over the Jordan River in heaven! Jesus Himself said that children are of the Kingdom of God. Little children are watched over by angels. Their angels are always before the face of God, the Father. So, they told God about your toddler children in the house fire. Why did God allow this terrible thing? I don't know... What I do know, is that their guarding angels brought each of their souls to heaven. They are save, forever by and with Jesus. Stick to your faith in Jesus, one sweet day you will meet them again! Warmest wishes, Christian Oosterhagen (42), Holland
@@christianoosterhagen2891 Thanx for the great inspiration story brought tears to my eyes
Thanx again and GOD BLESS
-James -
My wife of 59 years is in Heaven waiting for me. You singing brought me to tears. Thank you!!
Great is your faith. God bless you. You shall one day be with your wife and rejoicing in the Lord and there will be no tears of sadness.
Amen! Praying for y’all!
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss your comment brought tears to my eyes
My wife is there with her. This song had the same effect on me.
The Petersens always comfort my soul.
My husband and I have decided this song will be sung at the funeral of the first of us to go. ❤
I lost my brother on December 3rd 2020 . But he is more alive today in Heaven than ever before. Thank you for this song God bless you ...
I was working with my dad one day in his business painting houses, when he threw out the random comment, "When I die don't ask God to raise me from the dead." When I asked, somewhat indignantly, "Why not!?" He answered, "Cause He might do it and then I'd be mad at having to wait longer for heaven." When he passed, I looked at his mortal shell laying on that ER bed and just said goodbye.
Thank you for a beautiful song and fond remembrances.
This is one awesome band!! Never get tired of listening to them!! This was one of my Mom's favorite songs!! Now in Heaven watching over uslll!
Yall, Matt doesn't get enough credit for his guitar playing. High level of skill and cleanliness in his picking.
It's a high level all the way around, I saw them live in Branson Missouri and I can tell you right now I've seen many many bands live in the last 40 years and they hold up. Pure talent at its best.
He has my attention! Great job Matt!
Oh yes, extremely high talent level. Everyone performing of course, but yes as a trainee guitarist myself - I also noticed how he makes it look so easy!
Just what I was thinking
All of the band are very talented but I did think the main or lead singers voice was absolutely fabulous
Ever since I heard this beautiful song I regularly have to listen to it. Bless you all
It doesn’t get any better than this!!!
God bless your dear family...
One of my favorite songs! It´s so beautiful that I wanted to cry! Ellen has a wonderful voice - so strong and clear!
Another winner from the Petersens, the family it's impossible not to love!
Ellen`s voice let shine country-sounds so wonderfull.
My son, Andy, passed away on February 28, 2021. He was only 34. A day or two later I heard this song for the first time. It was moving to think of both of his grandfathers, whom he loved so dear, wading in to greet him and taking him to see Jesus. I'm not sure the idea of the song is biblically accurate, but I know they are all there together with loved ones already passed, including his infant sibling. I always expected that I would get to meet that baby first, but Andy hurried on ahead of me.🥲 I praise God that I will see them again in paradise. ❤️
Thank you, Arthur!
By the looks of things it won’t be long before we’ll all get to meet Andy! Bless you sweetie!
@Arthur Zuse Ledur thank you!
@@Shiloh8548 I have similar feelings as well! Praying for the lost to accept Jesus as their personal Savior!
My son was born on February 28 and I hope he’ll be waiting for me
I'm always impressed with how they support each other...even when they look at each other.
We've always loved this one. Thank you for putting it out there for us. See you all at the end of Feb.... Can't wait to see you again.
Just love the smiles the Petersen family always has,how re-freshing!
Sunday morning with the Petersens drinking coffee and chilling what could be better than that.
This song makes me cry every time
The Petersens always put their heart and soul into their music. You can see this more than ever in this performance. Another beautiful song.
Ellen has a voice that smiles at you
Hardrock metal guy sitting here with goosebumps and tears in my eyes. Flawless performance by my favourite band. ; )
Love this Band!! God Bless them!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Me too. Please share their music!
I'm going to preach my Brother in law's funeral this coming Friday. When you have names and faces that come to mind while you're singing this song it makes the tears flow even more. Sad tears, because we'll miss him, joyful tears, because we'll meet him again on those far side banks. Blessing on your family as you look forward to seeing your grandpa in eternity. Thank you for your music that blesses us all.
I love this family. i hope their circle will never be broken.
The Petersens always full of love and humanity
I just discovered the Petersens for myself a couple days ago. Just love the music and the humanity. Family love and support for each other.
Right there with you. They're awesome!
Well you have a lot of 'catching up' to do ! So many great Petersen videos!
Woke up this morning, this song by the Petersen's was playing in my mind. Praise the Lord! I thank Him for the Petersen's!
So needed with the current situation in our country and the world...an uplifting song so well done! Thank you Petersens...thank you!🤗❤
Love this family; but when I think that I found my favorite, another member blows my mind. You all are smart to stick together the way you do. It is something truly beautiful to see. Thank you!!!
Emotional. Superb. And 50 other superlative adjectives. Truly sublime.
It doesn't matter who sings, it's always brilliant AND worth waiting for.
This Terry Smith classic has been covered by hundreds of performers, but I don't believe anyone has topped this treatment of it by The Petersens. Exceptionally well done, group!
Even though I know there will be no marriage in heaven except that of Christ and his bride, I hope that I will at least recognize my lifetime wife in Glory one day and have a fond feeling toward her. This is a great love song and always makes me love my wife more.
Far side of Jordan is beautiful place to be , I pray you all keep on the sunny side of life, god bless all the petersen's family amen
Your music is a place for resting in these confused times. Many thanks to God and to You for the music and your smile. Be blessed. Greatings from Germany.
They just get better and more charming each day. I love this family group and Emmitt is a wonderful complement to the group. They are so fun to watch and listen to.
a young team that transmits traditions, it's very beautiful
At my stage of life, this song brings to mind so many loved ones.
Thank you so much, this song really cut through my cold old heart, it’s as though the voice of my loved ones passed, tears flowing, praise be to God, thank you Lord for this family and their obedience in sharing the talents You have blessed them with 🙏

I came across your older video of this song at a very very low time in my life and it started me down a path that in time lead me to find my faith in God. Along with prayer, this song has become an everyday ritual for me, and in turn, it has changed my life. for this, I am forever thankful. God bless
Absolutely Beautiful. LORD GOD Bless All and stay vigilant.
Beautiful ,this is is one of my most favorite gospel songs.

The Petersens LIVE - always a great experience
Really enjoyed listening.. Warm regard from Indonesia..
Your beautiful voice coupled with the reassuring message in the lyrics brings peace beyond peace through HIM!
Retracing my steps through your library of music. Yep, it is all still great.
Beautiful performance of this song. Well done Petersen Family. I love you all's music and ministry. God bless. I lost both my parents in 2020 in less than three months apart. Hope to see them both in heaven someday.
Just reading the comments of others, is evidence of the pleasure and light that you bring to so many. I know your job in heaven one day will be making music with the angels. Makes one long to be away from this world so full of woe...but thankfully we are comforted by your spiritual music. Love you -from South Africa.
Beautiful voice
So incredibly beautiful... thank you all so much ❤
Thank you guys SO MUCH. I spent a lot of time trying to find someone who could do this song justice, and so far you really are the only ones I've heard--and I've listened to some pretty big names.
I listen to you most every day. The music lifts my spirit to my Jesus. Keep doing the good job ,the will of the Lord.
William Race
Wow what spirit You put into those words, I tried to sing along with You but it's hard when tears can't be held back, God Bless You - Petersens.
Ellen is amazing! So beautiful and full of joy!
Another great job!!!!!!Ellen thank you so much for your sweet spirit, I can tell this family really cares about people.
I absolutely love this song for it gives us all some strong hope of seeing loved ones in Paradise. And I absolutely love the so promising message at the end by Ellen ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Complete and perfect. Honestly, I think if this beautiful family had a bunny it would sing. This is just gorgeous and what we all need right now. Thank you so much.
There is a steam room I like to go to, built off the side of a mountain in a fancy spa. When I'm alone in there I sing this song every time! With the natural echo, I can sing pretty quietly and it comes out booming. I end up spending hours in there singing The Petersens :)
You bring so much beauty to my life, thank you again!!
Going to Missouri is now no 1 on the bucket list.
What a Beautiful Gospel song lovely voices thanks for the upload of this video👍👍
love humble lyrics of American country music. Keep cherishing your musical culture
As I listened to this song many expressions and descriptors ran through my mind. By the end of the song, I could only settle on one: Perfection!!
Aww Y'all are beautiful inside and out!
Wow,that was absolutely beautiful. It touches my heart like you couldn't imagine! And with family there waiting for me, I can just see that wonderful meeting. I know that I'll go before my beautiful wife and then I'll be the one waiting for her. As I'm writing this it brings tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you so much for your love of songs like this, and your dedication to your craft. You are all incredible singers and musicians!
Your Music has blessed my life this morning sitting in my easy chair read my Bible with Covid struggling I wanted to hear some music before I continue reading you Young folks for the first one was the pop-up power forwards you have no idea but then again maybe you do thank you My name is Jim
That was just gorgeous. The balance of voices and instruments was really good and the instruments wove together beautifully in a great arrangement.
Beautiful harmonies. Great to see a flat top in Ellen's hands on this one. I've worked with many major and local artists in my almost 40 year audio career, and you folks are one of the tightest harmonizing groups I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
Uplifting song in gentle soothing voice, we shall meet on the banks when the time is right.
bang on, too right!
A terrific version of this wonderful song, sung in such a beautiful way by Ellen with terrific harmony by Julz and Matt. What more could we want? More video! So great to see The Petersens back. Thank You!
