River of Jordan

To the River of Jordan our Savior went one day
It's said that John the Baptist met him there
When John baptized Jesus in Jordan's rushing water
The mighty power of God filled the air

Well, I'm on my way (to the River of Jordan)
Gonna wade right in (to the rushing waters)
I'm goin' down (I'm goin' down to the river of Jordan)
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul

Well, the River of Jordan is many miles away
And its mighty banks I may never see
So I'll build myself an altar in some old-fashioned church
And that will be the River of Jordan for me

Well, I'm on my way (to the River of Jordan)
Gonna wade right in (to the rushing waters)
I'm goin' down (I'm goin' down to the river of Jordan)
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul

Well, I'm on my way (to the River of Jordan)
Gonna wade right in (to the rushing waters)
I'm goin' down (I'm goin' down to the river of Jordan)
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul
