The Secret Sisters - River Jordan
CAPO: 5th Fret
[Intro]
Dm7
[Verse 1]
'Go to the river Jordan', said the prophet to the king
'Wash in that murky water seven A7times and you'll be clean'
Yeah, that Dm7deep rolling river's gonna make you new and whole
And the A7faith acquired in you will save your Dm7soul
[Chorus]
Let's go G7down to the river, raise our voices and Dm7pray
And get ourselves a snow white robe to A7wear
Take aDm7way all the stains, remove G7each and every one
In the A7name of the father and the Dm7son
[Verse 2]
Jesus said to John the Baptist, bury me in that cold grave
In the Jordan's icy water, I will A7show them all the way
And a Dm7light came down from heaven saying, this is my own son
And I A7sure am pleased with what has just been Dm7done
[Chorus]
Let's go G7down to the river, raise our voices and Dm7pray
And get ourselves a snow white robe to A7wear
Take aDm7way all the stains, remove G7each and every one
In the A7name of the father and the Dm7son
[Verse 3]
I'm looking for the river Jordan, that old life giving stream
Within it's wave of mercy sweet forA7giveness ever seen
I'm a Dm7weary broken soul living in a house of clay
And that A7river's gonna wash my sins Dm7away
[Chorus]
Let's go G7down to the river, raise our voices and Dm7pray
And get ourselves a snow white robe to A7wear
Take aDm7way all the stains, remove G7each and every one
In the A7name of the father and the Dm7son
In the A7name of the father and the Dm7son
Bury me, bury me river Jordan
Bury A7me, bury me river Jordan
Bury Dm7me, bury me river Jordan
Bury A7me, bury me
Bury Dm7me, bury me
