[A] Tear us to bread with one [D] hand
In the sweetest light
[A]
We shall meet on that [D] beautiful shore
In the sweetest light
[G] We shall [A] meet on that
Well I'm on my way
To the river of Jordan
[E] Gonna wade right in
Into the rushing water
I'm [A] going down
I'm going down
To the river of Jordan
Let the cool waters cleanse my soul
To the river of Jordan
Our Savior went one day
And we greeted [E] John the Baptist
[A] Met him there
And when John baptized [D] Jesus
In Jordan's rushing waters
[A] The mighty power of God
[A] Filled the air
I'm on my way
To the river of Jordan
Gonna wade [E] right in
Into the rushing water
I'm going down
I'm [A] going down
To the [D] river of Jordan
[A] Let the cool waters cleanse my soul
[E]
[D]
[A] King Naaman was stricken
With dreaded leprosy
And he sent for the man of God to pray
But Elijah said to [D] Naaman
Go give yourself, Jordan
[A] Let the cool [E] waters wash those [A] spots away
So he went right there
To the river of Jordan
He [E] went right in
To the rushing water He [A] existed
In the [D] river of Jordan
[A] And the [E] cool waters made [A] him whole
Brothers and sisters
[E] If you would do me a favor
And [A] clap your hands along with the beat
[D] On the one and the three
[A]
Well I tell you about a dream
That I had last night
[E] I dreamt I was wandering
[A] Through a plain field
[D] And I saw a mountain
[A] And the mountain went really high
And as I walked up the mountain
I saw rain
[E] And I saw thunder
And the wind of the devil
Blew in my [D] face
[A] But I would not [E] let the devil beat me
[A] And I tried and tried
To get up that hill
And as [E] I climbed up that hill
Do you know what I heard?
[A]
[D] I heard Mark Smith playing the mandolin
[A] And it went a little something like this
[E]
[D] [E]
[A] The river of Jordan
Is many miles away
And this mighty [E] river
I may [A] never see
But I'll find myself an altar
[D] In an old fashioned church
And my river [E] of Jordan that [A] will be
Well I'm on my way
To the river of Jordan
Gonna [E] wait right here
I'm going down
To [D] the river [A] of Jordan
Let the cool [E] waters rinse my soul
Well I'm on my way
To the river of Jordan
I'm [E] going in
I'm [A] going down
I'm going to the river of [D] Jordan
Let the cool [E] waters rinse [A] my soul
[G]
