Child lift your head up when you walk
All the shame that you carry
You don’t have to carry no more
And when you lay your head to sleep
Lay down all of your worry
You don’t have to worry no more
Come on down to this Jordan river
Let me lead you let me lead you
To the only peace that I have found
Come and rest in these quiet waters
Let them free you, its gonna free you
Mercy and grace abound
So won’t you come on down
Child raise your voice when you speak
All the gifts that you bury
You don’t have to bury no more
The affirmation that you seek
It’s already been given
You don’t have to get it no more
Come on down to this Jordan river
Let me lead you let me lead you
To the only peace that I have found
Come and rest in these quiet waters
Let them free you, its gonna free you
Mercy and grace abound
So won’t you come on down
Follow the sound of the water
Listen to the words I say
It’s time to find freedom
He’ll was the fears away
Follow the sound of the water
Listen to the words I say
It’s time to find freedom
He’ll was the fears away
Come on down to this Jordan river
Let me lead you let me lead you
To the only peace that I have found
Come and rest in these quiet waters
Let them free you, its gonna free you
Mercy and grace abound
So won’t you come on down
