The River Of Jordan

The River Of Jordan - The Louvin Brothers

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

I'm on my way to the river of Jordan

Gonna wade right in into 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 Namath was stricken with dreaded leprosy

And he sent for the man of God to pray

But Elisha said to Namath

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

The river of Jordan is many miles away

And this mighty river I may never see

But I'll find myself an alter

In an old fashioned church

And my river of Jordan that will be

Well I'm on my way to the river of Jordan

Gonna wade right in into the rushing waters

I'm going down I'm going down to the river of Jordan

And let the cool waters cleanse my soul
