The Secret Sisters - River Jordan
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
'Go to the river Jordan', said the prophet to the king
E
'Wash in that murky water seven times and you'll be clean'
Am
Yeah, that deep rolling river's gonna make you new and whole
E Am
And the faith acquired in you will save your soul
[Chorus]
D Am
Let's go down to the river, raise our voices and pray
D E
And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear
Am
Take away the ugly stains, remove each and every one
E Am
In the name of the father and the son
[Verse 2]
Am
Jesus said to John the Baptist, bury me in that cold grave
E
In the Jordan's icy water, I will show them all the way
Am
And a light came down from heaven saying, this is my own son
E Am
And I sure am pleased with what has just been done
[Chorus]
D Am
Let's go down to the river, raise our voices and pray
D E
And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear
Am
Take away the ugly stains, remove each and every one
E Am
In the name of the father and the son
[Verse 3]
Am
I'm looking for the river Jordan, that old life giving stream
E
Within it's wave of mercy sweet forgiveness ever seen
Am
I'm a weary broken soul living in a house of clay
E Am
And that river's gonna wash my sins away
[Chorus]
D Am
Let's go down to the river, raise our voices and pray
D E
And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear
Am
Take away the ugly stains, remove each and every one
E Am
In the name of the father and the son
E Am
In the name of the father and the son
Am
Bury me, bury me river Jordan
E
Bury me, bury me, bury me, bury me
Am
Bury me, bury me river Jordan
E
Bury me, bury me
Am
Bury me
