Lyrics
To the River of Jordan
Our Savior went one day
And we read that John the Baptist
Met Him there
And when John baptized Jesus
In Jordan's rushing waters
The mighty power of God filled the air
Well, I'm on my way
Gonna wade right in
I'm going down
To the River of Jordan
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
Elisha 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 waded right in
(In the rushing waters)
He dipped himself
(He dipped himself)
In the River of Jordan
And the cool waters made him whole
Now 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
Said, 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
Said, 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
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul
