The River of Jordan

The River of Jordan - Nashville Gospel Singers

To the river of Jordan, our savior went one day

And we read that John the Baptist met him there

When John baptized Jesus in Jordan’s rushing waters

The mighty power of God filled the air

I'm on my way, (to the River of Jordan)

I'm 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

King Naaman was stricken with dreaded leprosy

And he sent for the man of God to pray

But Elisha said to Naaman, go dip yourself in Jordan

Let's cool water wash your spots away

So he went right in (to the River of Jordan)

He went right in (in the rushing waters)

To dip himself (he dipped himself in the River of Jordan)

And the cool waters made him whole

The River of Jordan is many miles away

This mighty river I may never see

But I'll find myself an altar, in an old fashioned church

My River of Jordan that will be

I'm on my way, (to the River of Jordan)

I'm 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

I'm on my way, (to the River of Jordan)

I'm 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
