River of Jordan Lyrics

To the River of Jordan our savior went one day
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

Well 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

Oh the River of Jordan is many miles away
And its' mighty banks I may never see
But I'll find myself an altar in an old fashioned church
And that will be the River of Jordan for me
