[Verse 1]
 Am
'Go to the river Jordan', said the prophet to the king
                                E
'Wash in that murky water seven times and you'll be clean'
           Am
Yeah, that deep rolling river's gonna make you new and whole
        E                                    Am
And the faith acquired in you will save your soul


[Chorus]
         D                            Am         
Let's go down to the river, raise our voices in prayer
    D                                  E
And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear
       Am
Take away the earthly stains, remove each and every one
       E                          Am
In the name of the father and the son


[Verse 2]
Am
Jesus said to John the Baptist, bury me in that cold grave
                                  E
In the Jordan's icy water, I will show them all the way
      Am
And a light came down from heaven saying, this is my own son
      E                                     Am
And I sure am pleased with what has just been done


[Chorus]
         D                            Am
Let's go down to the river, raise our voices in prayer
    D                                  E
And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear
      Am
Take away the earthly stains, remove each and every one
       E                          Am
In the name of the father and the son


[Verse 3] 
Am
I'm looking for the river Jordan, that old life-giving stream
                                    E
Within it's waves of mercy sweet forgiveness ever teems
      Am
I'm a weary broken soul living in a house of clay
         E                           Am
And that river's gonna wash my sins away


[Chorus]
         D                            Am
Let's go down to the river, raise our voices in prayer
         D                             E
And get ourselves a snow white robe to wear
      Am
Take away the earthly stains, remove each and every one
       E                          Am
In the name of the father and the son
       E                          Am
In the name of the father and the son
     Am
Bury me, bury me river Jordan
     E
Bury me, bury me, bury me, bury me
     Am
Bury me, bury me river Jordan
     E
Bury me, bury me
     Am
Bury me
