RIVER OF JORDAN
To the river of Jordan our Savior went one day,
And we read that John the Baptist met him there.
When John baptized Jesus in Jordan's rushing water,
The mighty power of God filled the air
CH: I'm goin' down, (to the river of Jordan,)
Gonna wade right in, (to the rushing waters)
Gonna dip myself , (gonna dip myself)
In the river of Jordan
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul.
King Naimen was stricken with dreaded leprosy,
And he sent for a man of God to pray,
Elijah said to Naimen, go dip yourself in Jordan,
And let the cool water wash your spots away.
So he went right down (to the river of Jordan),
He went right in (to the rushing water)
He dipped himself (He dipped himself)
In the River of Jordan
And the cool waters made him whole.
The River of Jordan is many miles away,
And that great river I may never see,
So I'll find myself an altar in an old fashioned church.
And my river of Jordan that will be.
I'm goin' down, (to the river of Jordan,)
Gonna wade right in, (to the rushing waters)
Gonna dip myself , (gonna dip myself)
In the river of Jordan
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul.
