^ATo the river of ^EJordan, our ^Asavior went one day ^AAnd we read that John the ^EBaptist met him ^Athere ^AAnd when John baptized ^A7Jesus in ^DJordan's rushing waters ^DThe ^Amighty power of ^EGod filled the ^Aair

[Chorus]

^AWell I'm on my way, (to the River of Jordan) ^AI'm gonna wade right ^Ein, (in the rushing waters) ^AI'm going down (I'm going ^A7down) to the River of ^DJordan ^AAnd let the cool waters ^Ecleanse my ^Asoul

^AKing Naaman was ^Estricken with ^Adreaded leprosy ^AAnd he sent for the ^Eman of God to ^Apray ^ABut Elija said to ^A7Naaman, go ^Ddip yourself in Jordan ^DAnd ^Alet the cool ^Ewaters wash your spots ^Aaway

[Chorus]

^ASo he went right down (^Ato the River of Jordan) ^AHe waded right ^Ein (^Ain the rushing ^Ewaters) ^AHe dip himself (^Ahe dipped ^A7himself) in the River of ^DJordan ^AAnd the cool waters ^Emade him ^Awhole
