Dm7

[Verse 1]

'Go to the river Jordan', said the prophet to the king
                                A7
'Wash in that murky water seven times and you'll be clean'
           Dm7
Yeah, that deep rolling river's gonna make you new and whole
        A7                                   Dm7
And the faith acquired in you will save your soul


[Chorus]
         G7                                      Dm7
Let's go down to the river, raise our voices and pray
                                       A7
And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear
      Dm7                        G7
Take away all the stains, remove each and every one
       A7                         Dm7
In the name of the father and the son


[Verse 2]

Jesus said to John the Baptist, bury me in that cold grave
                                  A7
In the Jordan's icy water, I will show them all the way
      Dm7
And a light came down from heaven saying, this is my own son
      A7                                      Dm7
And I sure am pleased with what has just been done


[Chorus]
         G7                                      Dm7
Let's go down to the river, raise our voices and pray
                                       A7
And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear
      Dm7                        G7
Take away all the stains, remove each and every one
       A7                         Dm7
In the name of the father and the son


[Verse 3]

I'm looking for the river Jordan, that old life giving stream
                                   A7
Within it's wave of mercy sweet forgiveness ever seen
      Dm7
I'm a weary broken soul living in a house of clay
         A7                         Dm7
And that river's gonna wash my sins away


[Chorus]
         G7                                      Dm7
Let's go down to the river, raise our voices and pray
                                       A7
And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear
      Dm7                        G7
Take away all the stains, remove each and every one
       A7                         Dm7
In the name of the father and the son
       A7                         Dm7
In the name of the father and the son

Bury me, bury me river Jordan
     A7
Bury me, bury me river Jordan
     Dm7
Bury me, bury me river Jordan
     A7
Bury me, bury me
     Dm7
Bury me, bury me
