| 'Go to the river Jordan', said the prophet to the king
|
| 'Wash in that murky water seven times and you’ll be clean'
|
| Yeah, that deep rollin' river’s gonna make you new and whole
|
| And the faith acquired in you will save your soul
|
| Let’s go down to the river, raise our voices and pray
|
| And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear
|
| Take away all the stains, remove each and every one
|
| In the name of the Father and the Son
|
| Jesus said to John the Baptist, burry me in that cold grave
|
| In the Jordan’s icy water, I will show you all the way
|
| And a light came down from Heaven saying this is My own son
|
| And I sure am please with what has just been done
|
| Let’s go down to the river, raise our voices and pray
|
| And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear
|
| Take away all the stains, remove each and every one
|
| In the name of the Father and the Son
|
| I’m looking for the river Jordan, that old life giving stream
|
| Within it’s wave of mercy sweet forgiveness ever teamed
|
| I’m a weary broken soul living in a house of clay
|
| And that river’s gonna wash my sins away
|
| Let’s go down to the river, raise our voices and pray
|
| And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear
|
| Take away all the stains, remove each and every one
|
| In the name of the Father and the Son
|
| In the name of the Father and the Son
|
| Bury me, bury me river Jordan… |
