River of Jordan

1 5 1
To the River Of Jordan our Savior went one day
5 1
And we read that John the Baptist met Him there
4
When John baptized Jesus in Jordan’s rushing waters
1 5 1
The mighty power of God filled the air
 

1
I’m on my way (to the River of Jordan)
5
Gonna wade right in (in the rushing waters)
1 4
I’m going down (I’m going down) to the River of Jordan
1 5 1
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul
 

King Naaman was stricken with dreaded leprosy
And he sent for the man of God to pray
But Elijah said to Naaman go dip yourself in Jordan
And let the cool waters wash your spots away

So he went right down (to the River of Jordan)
He went right in (in the rushing waters)
He dipped himself (he dipped himself) in the River of Jordan
And the cool waters made him whole

Oh the River Of Jordan is many miles away
And this mighty river I may never see
But I’ll find myself an altar in an old fashioned church
And my River of Jordan that will be

I’m on my way (to the River Of Jordan)
Gonna wade right in (in the rushing waters)
I’m going down (I’m going down) to the River of Jordan
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul
