1)
To the River of Jordon our Saviour went one day
And we read that John the Baptist met him there
When John baptized Jesus in Jordon's rushing water
The mighty power of God filled the air.
1st CHORUS)
I'm on my way ........ To the River of Jordon
Gonna wade right inIn the rushing waters
I'm going down.. to the river of Jordon
To let the cool waters cleanse my soul.
2)
King Naman was stricken with dreaded leprosy
And he sent for the man of God to pray
But Elijah said to Naman go dip yourself in Jordon
And let the cool waters wash your spots away.
2nd CHORUS)
So he went right down To the River of Jordon
He went right in In the rushing waters
He dipped himself .... in the river of Jordon
And the cool waters made him whole.
3)
The River of Jordon is many miles away
And this mighty river I may never see
But I'll find myself an altar in an old fashioned church
My river of Jordon that will be.
3rd CHORUS)
I'm on my way ........ To the River of Jordon
Gonna wade right inIn the rushing waters
I'm going down.. to the river of Jordon
To let the cool waters cleanse my soul.
