Jordan ( /ˈdʒɔr.dən/;Arabic: اَلأُرْدُنّ, Al-'Urdunn), officially the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Arabic: اَلمَمْلَكَة اَلأُرْدُنِيَّة اَلهَاشِمِيَّة), Al-Mamlakah Al-Urdaniyyah Al-Hashimiyyah) is a kingdom on the East Bank of the River Jordan. The country borders Saudi Arabia to the east and south-east, Iraq to the north-east, Syria to the north and the West Bank and Israel to the west, sharing control of the Dead Sea with the latter. Jordan's only port is at its south-western tip, at the Gulf of Aqaba, which is shared with Israel, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Over half of Jordan is covered by the Arabian Desert. However, the western part of Jordan is arable land and forests. Jordan is part of the Fertile Crescent. The capital city is Amman. According to the CIA World Factbook, Jordan has the second highest life expectancy in the Middle East, after Israel. The average life expectancy is one position behind the United Kingdom, although the age remains exactly the same (80.05 years).
The precursor to modern Jordan was founded in 1921 as the Hashemite Emirate, and it was recognized by the League of Nations as a state under the British mandate in 1922 known as The Emirate of Transjordan. In 1946, Jordan became an independent sovereign state officially known as the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan. After capturing the West Bank area of Cisjordan during the 1948–49 war with Israel, Abdullah I took the title King of Jordan and Palestine, and he officially changed the country's name to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in April 1949.

And did you see me Joshua, standing in the Jordan
See the open wounds flowing from your hands
Flowing from your feet, hold me Jordan

Come in as you tread life's journey
Take Jesus as your daily guide
Though you may feel pure and safely
Without Him walking by your side
But when you come to make the crossing
At the ending of your pilgrim's way
If you ever will meet our Savior
You'll surely meet Him on that day
Now look at that cold Jordan
Look at these deep waters
Look at that wide river
Oh hear the mighty billows roar
You'd better take Jesus with you
He's a true companion
For I'm sure without Him
That you never will make it o'er
That awful Day of Judgment
Is coming in the by and by
We'll se our Lord descending
In Glory from on high
So let us keep in touch with Jesus
And in his grace the Love of God
That we may be ever called ready
When He calls us over Jordan's Tide
Now look at that cold Jordan
Look at these deep waters
Look at that wide river
Oh hear the mighty billows roar
You'd better take Jesus with you
He's a true companion
For I'm sure without Him
That you never will make it o'er
Oh what, what you gonna do
Oh what, what you gonna do
Oh how, how you gonna feel
When you come to the end of the Way
Come, my love, away,
Recline against the feigning mood and we'll be swept
away,
Esther Moore baked casseroles, and wise men laid their
tokens out for me when you were born.
There is a love after all,
Waiting so long has been hard,
I've found the world in your arms,
Waiting so long has been hard.
Come, my child, and see across the ocean,
You will be with me for always,
In the book I'll take a look, and tell you all the things
that we will see in our days.
There is a love after all, (there is a love)
Waiting so long has been hard,
I've found the world in your arms,
Oh come and as you tread life's journey
Take Jesus as your daily guide
Though you may feel pure and saintly
Without him walkin by your side
But when you come to make the crossing
At the ending of your pilgrim way
If you ever will need our Savior
You'll surely need him on that day
(Now look at that) cold Jordan
(Look at its) deep waters
(Look at that) wide river
Oh hear the mighty billows roll
(You better take) Jesus with you
(He's a) true companion
(For I'm) sure without him
That you never will make it o'er
That awful day of judgment
Is comin' in the by and by
We'll see our Lord descending
In Glory from on high
Oh let us keep in touch with Jesus
And in his precious love abide
We may be ever caught ready
When he calls us over Jordan's tide
(Oh what) oh what you gonna do
(Oh what) oh what you gonna say
(Oh how) oh how you gonna feel
I looked to the East, I looked to the West
I saw John Ball a-coming and a-calling.
With four blind horses riding in the clouds
To look on the other side of Jordan.
Pull off your old coat and roll up your sleeves
Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe.
Thunder in the clouds, lightning in the trees
What do you think that I told him?
It's goodbye son till the next kingdom come
And I'll meet you on the other side of Jordan.
Pull off your old coat and roll up your sleeves
Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe.
The ladies of England have made a big address
'Bout slavery and hardships according.
They better look at home to their own white slaves
They're starving on the English side of Jordan.
Pull off your old coat and roll up your sleeves
Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe.
[instrumental]
There were snakes in Ireland not many years ago
St Patrick saw the vermin all a-crawling.
But with his shillelagh he hit them on the head
And he drove them 'cross the other side of Jordan.
Pull off your old coat and roll up your sleeves
Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe.
And Jonah spent three days in the belly of a whale
Three days and two nights then according.
He tickled him with a straw, which caused him to laugh
And he chucked him on the other side of Jordan.
Pull off your old coat and roll up your sleeves
Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe.
[instrumental]
Pull off your old coat and roll up your sleeves
"Weeds grow in my garden, days are hot and long
Oh sun, make this clay harden, the work will make me strong
If I cry, it's not from sorrow - I'm alive with the wonder of it all
I'm alive, but if I'm gone tomorrow, children
Keep your head up, don't you look back
Take another step across the River Jordan
When the evening gathers, should the thunder call
The rain can sound like laughter falling on us all
If I cry, it's not from sorrow - I'm alive with the wonder of it all
I'm alive, but if I'm gone tomorrow, children
Keep your head up, don't you look back
Take another step across the River Jordan
You've got to keep your head up, don't you look back

Oh how, how you gonna feel
Du weißt nicht weiter
Das hab ich erkannt
Du willst nicht mehr komm
Gib mir deine Hand
Ich seh die Sehnsucht
Die Gier in deinem Blick
Du suchst Hoffnung
Du suchst Glück
Jenseits des Stroms
Wart ich auf dich
Ob im Garten des Herrn
Im Feuer der Hölle
Nichts wird mehr sein wie es war
Ob in Brennender Glut
Im ewigen Eis
Nichts wird mehr sein wie es war
Ob Himmelhoch jauchzend
Zu Tode betrübt
Nichts wird mehr sein wie es war
Wenn du bei mir sein willst
Wenn du bei mir sein willst
Mußt du über den Jordan gehn
Über den Jordan gehn
Komm, geh weiter
Komm, bleib nicht zurück
Nur noch zwei Meter
Bis zu deinem Glück
Jenseits des Stroms
Wart ich auf dich
Faß dir ein Herz
Geh in das Licht
Jenseits des Stroms
Wart ich auf dich
Ob im Garten des Herrn
Im Feuer der Hölle
Nichts wird mehr sein wie es war
Ob in Brennender Glut
Im ewigen Eis
Nichts wird mehr sein wie es war
Ob Himmelhoch jauchzend
Zu Tode betrübt
Nichts wird mehr sein wie es war
Wenn du bei mir sein willst
Wenn du bei mir sein willst
Mußt du über den Jordan gehn
Über den Jordan gehn
The wolves look to the moon
And the ocean to the sky
I've looked to you my whole life
Now I have to say good-bye
But to say that I've lost you
Is a selfish thing to say
I've never seen nothing as beautiful
As watching you slip away
I'd rather see you go in the arms of your angels
Than to stay right here with me
I'll meet you on the other side of the Jordan
Now let your soul go free
You did it all with feeling
And failure, you took it gracefully
You said, third star to the right
And straight on until morning
When you need me, you know
That's where I'll be
Now the rest of my life without you
Right now it's hard to conceive
You said, don't cry for me now
You've got to remember
There is no death for those that believe
I'd rather see you go in the arms of your angels
Then to keep you right here with me
I'll meet you on the other side of the Jordan
youve got
high rise eyes
i guess its hard to see the stars through all those city lights
listen you got
one hell of a drive
i guess this is goodbye
with dry eyes your tanktops and bra straps
your catnaps on the hammok
your heart was set like a mouse trap
you've got high rise eyes
