River Jordan Lyrics - Put Your Needle Down - The Secret Sisters

'Go to the river Jordan', said the prophet to the king 

'Wash in that murky water seven times and you'll be clean' 

Yeah, that deep rollin' river's gonna make you new and whole 

And the faith acquired in you will save your soul 

Let's go down to the river, raise our voices and pray 

And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear 

Take away all the stains, remove each and every one 

In the name of the Father and the Son 

Jesus said to John the Baptist, bury me in that cold grave 

In the Jordan's icy water, I will show you all the way 

And a light came down from Heaven saying this is My own son 

And I sure am please with what has just been done 

Let's go down to the river, raise our voices and pray 

And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear 

Take away all the stains, remove each and every one 

In the name of the Father and the Son 

I'm looking for the river Jordan, that old life giving stream 

Within it's wave of mercy sweet forgiveness ever teamed 

I'm a weary broken soul living in a house of clay 

And that river's gonna wash my sins away 

Let's go down to the river, raise our voices and pray 

And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear 

Take away all the stains, remove each and every one 

In the name of the Father and the Son 

In the name of the Father and the Son 

Bury me, bury me river Jordan
