“John
In The Jordan”

BROTHER POOLE WAS STANDING
WITH HIS HANDS UP IN THE AIR
ROBED IN WHITE WITH WATER TO HIS WAIST
STANDING WITH THE CONGREGATION
ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON
WE STOOD THERE ON THE RIVERBANK AND PRAYED
(CHORUS)
JUST LIKE JOHN IN THE JORDAN
JUST LIKE JOHN IN THE JORDAN
JUST LIKE JOHN IN THE JORDAN
LORD WASH MY SINS AWAY
DADDY HELD MY MOTHERS HAND
AS SHE WAS NEXT IN LINE
SHE’D NEVER LEARNED TO SWIM AND WAS AFRAID
BUT SHE FACED HER FEAR OF WATER
TOOK A BREATH AND CLOSED HER EYES
AND WENT UNDER FOR THE LORD TO SHOW HER FAITH
REPEAT CHORUS
(BRIDGE)
ONE BY ONE THEY CAME UP TESTIFYING
AND I COULDN’T WAIT TO BE THE NEXT TO SHINE
REPEAT CHORUS
