Lyrics for Song: River of Jordan
Lyrics for Album: Family and Friends [Rounder] [1982]



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 to the rushing waters

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

And let the cool waters wash your spots away.''



So he went right down to the River Of Jordan

He waded right in the rushing waters

He dipped himself in the River of Jordan

And the cool waters made him whole.



Oh, 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...
