River of Jordan
by Bill & Gloria Gaither

Album: Israel Homecoming

Verse 1:
To the River of Jordan our Savior went one day
And we read that John the Baptist met Him there

Pre-Chorus A:
And when John baptized Jesus in Jordan's rushing waters,
the mighty power of God filled the air.

Chorus 1:
Well, I'm on my way, gonna wade right in
I'm going down to the River of Jordan
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul.

Verse 2:
King Naaman was stricken with dreaded leprosy and he sent for the man of God to pray.

Pre-Chorus B:
But Elisha said to Naaman "Go dip yourself in Jordan and let the cool waters wash your spots away."

Chorus 2:
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.

Bridge:
This River of Jordan is many miles away
And this mighty river I may never see.
But I'll find myself an altar in an old fashioned church
And my River of Jordan that will be...

(Chorus until end)
