John in the Jordan
John in the Jordan
Just like, John in the Jordan,
John in the Jordan,
Just like, John in the Jordan,
Lord, wash, my sins away.
Brother Pool was standing with his hands up in the air,
Robed in white with water to his waist,
Gathered with a congregation on a Sunday afternoon,
We stood there on the riverbank and prayed,
Just like, John in the Jordan,
John in the Jordan,
Just like, John in the Jordan,
Lord, wash, my sins away.
Daddy held my mother's hand as she was next in line,
She 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,
Just like, John in the Jordan,
John in the Jordan,
Just like, John in the Jordan,
Lord, wash, my sins away.
One by one they came up testifying
I couldn't wait to be the next to shine
Just like, John in the Jordan
Just like, John in the Jordan
John in the Jordan, Lord
Wash my sins away (2x)
João no Jordão
João no Jordão
Assim como, João no Jordão,
João no Jordão,
Assim como, João no Jordão,
Senhor, lave, meus pecados.
Irmão Poço estava de braços abertos no ar,
Vestido de branco com água até a cintura,
Reunido com a congregação numa tarde de domingo,
Nós estávamos lá na beira do rio e oramos,
Assim como, João no Jordão,
João no Jordão,
Assim como, João no Jordão,
Senhor, lave, meus pecados.
Papai segurou a mão da mamãe enquanto ela era a próxima na fila,
Ela nunca aprendeu a nadar e estava com medo,
Mas ela enfrentou seu medo da água,
respirou fundo e fechou os olhos,
E mergulhou para o Senhor mostrar sua fé,
Assim como, João no Jordão,
João no Jordão,
Assim como, João no Jordão,
Senhor, lave, meus pecados.
Um a um, eles saíam testemunhando
Eu mal podia esperar para ser o próximo a brilhar
Assim como, João no Jordão
Assim como, João no Jordão
João no Jordão, Senhor
Lave meus pecados (2x)
