one more river still to cross Songtext / Lyric

I've gotta get some hope
I've gotta get some pride
Got to be some truth
In all of this life

Gotta be some justice
Gotta be some use
When you're starved and hungry
With a burned fuse

I swore to God
I made a stand
I made a promise to lend a hand

And you better come together, you better nail it while it's hot
You better get ready, oh lord
There is one more river still to cross

Made in heaven
Mercy sakes
Maybe more religion
Is what it takes

Bums and banners
Shivers and shakes
Trigger fingers
Rattlesnakes

Well you better come together, you better nail it while it's hot
You better get ready, oh lord
There is one more river still to cross
There is one more river still to cross

Now the river bed is dryin' up
The dust is coming down
You've had the last fair deal
And you're still twenty miles from town
Said you better come together, better nail it while it's hot
You better get ready, oh lord
There is one more river still to cross
Yes there is one more river still to cross
