Sing This When I Cross the River | Finding Joy in Heaven's Promise

When I cross the river, don't cry for me… SING! 🙌 This uplifting Southern Gospel song celebrates the promise of Heaven, eternal life with Jesus, and the glorious day when every burden will be gone. “When I Cross the River” by Magnolia Country Gospel is a joyful country gospel song filled with powerful female quartet harmonies, heartfelt faith, and the hope of our heavenly home. For generations, Christians have sung about crossing the river as a symbol of leaving this earthly life and entering the presence of Jesus. But this song carries a special message: when that day comes, don't let sorrow silence the music. Lift your voices, celebrate God's promises, and sing of the victory waiting on the other shore! No more burdens. No more waiting. Just everlasting joy in the presence of our Savior. 🎵 WHEN I CROSS THE RIVER 🎙️ Magnolia Country Gospel | Southern Gospel Female Quartet ⏱️ Duration: 3:17 📖 LYRICS [Verse 1] When my work here is finished And the evening light grows dim Don’t you cry when I am leaving Just lift a song and sing with Him I’ve been walking toward the river With a heart that’s full of grace And the moment that I cross it I’ll be standing face to face [Quartet Answer] Face to face I’ll be standing face to face [Pre-Chorus] Don’t you hold the song back Let the voices rise and ring This is not a day of sorrow This is when the saints should sing [Chorus] Sing this when I cross the river Sing it loud and sing it clear Sing this when I cross the river I’ll be home, and Jesus will be near No more burden, no more waiting I’ll be free on that bright shore Sing this when I cross the river And I’ll praise Him evermore [Verse 2] Alto voice warm and steady Soprano lifting high and true Lead voice singing of the Savior And the home I’m going to Every promise that He gave me Every prayer that I have prayed Will be answered in a moment On the day that river’s crossed [Quartet Answer] On the day that river’s crossed [Chorus] Sing this when I cross the river Sing it loud and sing it clear Sing this when I cross the river I’ll be home, and Jesus will be near No more burden, no more waiting I’ll be free on that bright shore Sing this when I cross the river And I’ll praise Him evermore [Short Bridge] If you hear me calling softly From the other side of time Don’t you weep, just keep on singing I’ll be singing right beside [Final Chorus] Sing this when I cross the river Sing it loud and sing it clear Sing this when I cross the river I’ll be home, and Jesus will be near No more burden, no more waiting I’ll be free on that bright shore Sing this when I cross the river And I’ll praise Him evermore [Short Quartet Tag] Sing it clear I’ll praise Him evermore ⏱️ SONG CHAPTERS 0:00 – When My Work Here Is Finished 0:32 – This Is When the Saints Should Sing 0:48 – Sing This When I Cross the River 1:23 – The Promise of Heaven 1:58 – Sing It Loud and Clear 2:30 – Don't Weep, Keep Singing 2:43 – I'll Praise Him Evermore ❤️ WHAT SONG WOULD YOU WANT YOUR FAMILY TO SING?
