This song has a special significance for me, for the good Lord gave it to me as a sign. My mother died on a Thursday in 2016, at 86. (This is Mrs. Rick speaking.) I asked for a sign that she was saved and in heaven. Then, being the faithful and patient person I am, by Sunday I'd given up. So I went to church. Every song the choir sang was about going to heaven - I'll Fly Away, etc. I sat and snivelled. Then a pair of gals went up to the front and said there'd be a special performance that evening, and here was a little taste of it - and they sang this song. I rushed to the ladies' room where my sobs weren't quite so audible, because I knew that my Lord had heard and answered me, and my mom would be waiting in heaven. But that wasn't all of it. I flew home for her memorial mass, and there was a coffee hour in the church basement after. I'd asked if I could share something with the group. I told them the little story of my request for a sign, and God's answer. But then I said I had realized that the sign wasn't just for me, but for my dad also. i told him that God's grace and salvation are a gift and can't be earned. But you have to reach your hand out and take that gift. That it's like being charged with a crime and the judge says "Guilty!" And then He gets down from the bench, pays your fine, and says "You've been pardoned, your debt is paid, and you're free to go'. Now my dad had some history with courtrooms. His eyes were focused on me like a laser as I spoke. I then pointed out that Mum would be waiting for him on those banks, and that he'd better make good, because he knew better than to make that woman mad! Everybody laughed but my dad. He couldn't speak, due to a stroke, but he heard me. And I'm sure he'll be waiting for me and the family on that far side bank of Jordan.
I can remember when I first heard this, I cried and cried. Too bad I didn't discover John and June until after their passing. R.I.P. Johnny and June. I wonder what you are doing today in heaven.....
This was sang at my great grandmothers funeral today. She loved the Lord more than anything, and her husband was a close second. I know the moment she left her earthly body that my papi (who died about 15 years ago) was reaching for her hand and Jesus had the other. Thank you God for taking my Grammie Grace home. She was ready for you.
In loving memory of Melanie Renee, my wife of 31 years. 08-31-1965 / 04-02-2020. I found a CD of unnamed Gospel singers with this song on it she had left for me in her top dresser drawer. It brought so much comfort to know she's waiting for me. At times, it brought me to my knees, begging to join her right then & there. With the panic of Covid 19 just beginning, we weren't allowed to have a large gathering for a funeral so we waited until her birthday weekend to celebrate her life & I went all out. I rented a banquet hall in our downtown historic district & hired a Gospel Trio to perform for us. The delay gave Latter Rain enough time to learn this song & add it to their playlist. Now every time they take the stage they share this song & our story so that others can find hope & comfort from it also. Latter Rain even used it as the theme for their latest CD & it's become Melanie's legacy. I can't wait to see her running through the shallow waters reaching for my hand.
One of my most favorite songs by Johnny and June. Love it... the part that really gets me is the part where June says that she will be the first to cross and when every time I hear the chorus "I'll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan, I'll be sitting drawing and when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout and come running through the shallow water reaching for your hand." It always reminds me of when Johnny died a few months later and they met together in heaven..... Such a sweet couple they were. RIP JOHNNY AND JUNE CASH.
Uncanny, especially when June sings that she feels she will be first, and she was !! But, he followed her closely, and he knew it would be close; he said it a lot !!
This is on June's last album, "Press On", released in 2003 shortly after her death. Johnny took a demo to the hospital room in a boom box and told her she had made a good record, one that would live on. He played it, but wasn't sure she heard it; she never regained consciousness. (Info from one of Johnny Cash's interviews.)
I lost my grandma on 10/25/14 and i know her Husband was waiting for her and now she is with him you fought a good fight and you have finished your race i will see you when my journey is complete
who would have ever thought that was the way it would happen for them in life, when I heard of June's passing I knew John wouldn't be far behind her R.I.P
My grandmother passed away in 2010 and this was the song she and my grandfather shared. Right now, in March of 2014, my grandfather is closing in on his last days on this earth. This song makes me cry, not out of sadness, but out of joy that this is something two amazing and steadfast people in my life had experienced through their marriage. And it. Is. Beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks for uploading this, I have missed hearing their music. I love to see Johnny and June sing together. You can tell how much they loved each other.
An American love story No matter the ups and downs, the slings and arrows the love when they look at each other is obvious It's my hope a younger generation sees them and hears the power of their words and music Laugh and LOVE
Ils sont vraiment touchant.... Quelle tendresse entre. eux.... On vois qu il l adore et elle lui rend bien.... Et en plus de leur talent... Ils étaient trop beaux... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree I read is not was and I believe we are just passing by to the other side so they are alive like you and me and we will see then again but at that time with our God face to face
Just watched Jewel in the movie Ring Of Fire and she performed this at the end of the movie. I have never heard it but it made me cry. I just lost a friend of 19 years on May 18th and I'm missing Raegan so much but I know she is in Heaven and that I will be reunited with her and all the others that have gone on before. But until then...I will keep trusting the Lord for I know that He makes all things beautiful in His time. Thanking God for gift of music and dance...Heaven got another angel.
my mother died 25 yrs go today and this is the song she wanted to hear and once I played it for her she died shortly after I think she knew my dad would be waiting for her
Penina 1956 gave some wrong information about this song and album. "Press On" was released in 1999. I had just listened to the song and turned off the cd player to the radio and heard that June Carter had died on May 15, 2003. The last album she recorded and the one Johnny Cash may have brought to her hospital bed would have been "Wildwood Flower" that was recorded between October 2002 and March 2003. Johnny Cash died 4 months later on September 12, 2003.

And June was waiting for him...... and they will be in paradise with our savior forever. "Well done my good and faithful servant".~ Jesus

It's like she knew she would go first :o
at their age it was no idle words
Vicky G. I had a feeling that she knew that her death was coming and that she’d be the first one to pass away.
You could see it in her Eyes
@@Popcorn_Kernel ja das habe ich mir auch gedacht 😢
@@jessicaschwab7393 ja 😢
Johnny & June were devout Catholics their entire lives. It just shows you how the Pope has helped everyone on Earth.
That feeling proved to be right, June! You were the first to cross. R.I.P. both of you. Hard to see this without chokin' up.
oh damned right about the choking up part
I cry when I hear this song

I've loved Johnny Cash and The Carter Family for 50 years! Beautiful people💕 And nice to see women who age gracefully & naturally.
I wish I had a love like they have. So touching, so fulfilled. June & John, God bless you.
Cupcake168 I think of my wife when I when I see anything about John and June, my wife and I have been married 43 years, was supposed to be 63 years.

the Best Johnny and June they could sure sing and always will listen to this
June is beautiful 😻💖
Most beautiful thing I've ever heard. RIP YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE .
June’s verse was very haunting because she knew that she would be the first to pass before Johnny who would follow her 4 months later in September.
Love this song.
A beautiful gospel song, and one that the Cash family got to live ❤❤❤❤
I agree I read is not was and I believe we are just passing by to the other side so they are alive like you and me and we will see then again but at that time with our God face to face
Ich wünschte, dass alle um ihre Liebe so kämpfen, wie sie. Sie sind ineinander verschmolzen.

They did a wonderful job with Terry Smiths song. Love it!
This is my favorite rendition of this song. ❤
I'm so happy for both of them. I've got some people I'll be looking for. June was sooooo pretty.
