[Verse 1]
A               E           A
To the river of Jordan, our savior went one day
A                         E               A
And we read that John the Baptist met him there
A                      A7       D
And when John baptized Jesus in Jordan's rushing waters
D   A               E              A
The mighty power of God filled the air


[Chorus]

Well I'm on my way, (to the River of Jordan)
A                    E
I'm gonna wade right in, (in the rushing waters)
A                         A7                    D
I'm going down (I'm going down) to the River of Jordan
A                       E          A
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul

[Verse 2]
A               E             A
King Naaman was stricken with dreaded leprosy
A                   E             A
And he sent for the man of God to pray
A                 A7         D
But Elija said to Naaman, go dip yourself in Jordan
D   A            E                      A
And let the cool waters wash your spots away


[Chorus]
A                      A
So he went right down (to the River of Jordan)
A              E   A              E
He waded right in (in the rushing waters)
A               A         A7                       D
He dip himself (he dipped himself) in the River of Jordan
A                   E        A
And the cool waters made him whole


[Verse 3]
A            E         A
The River of Jordan is many miles away
A               E                 A
And this mighty river I may never see
A                       A7                        D
But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church
D      A               D         A
And my River of Jordan that will be


[Chorus]
A                    A
Well I'm on my way, (to the River of Jordan)
A                    E    E
I'm gonna wade right in, (in the rushing waters)
A               A         A7                    D
I'm going down (I'm going down) to the River of Jordan
A                       E          A
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul
