Irmão Poço estava de braços abertos no ar,Brother Pool was standing with his hands up in the air,
Vestido de branco com água até a cintura,Robed in white with water to his waist,
Reunido com a congregação numa tarde de domingo,Gathered with a congregation on a Sunday afternoon,
Nós estávamos lá na beira do rio e oramos,We stood there on the riverbank and prayed,

Assim como, João no Jordão,Just like, John in the Jordan,
João no Jordão,John in the Jordan,
Assim como, João no Jordão,Just like, John in the Jordan,
Senhor, lave, meus pecados.Lord, wash, my sins away.

Papai segurou a mão da mamãe enquanto ela era a próxima na fila,Daddy held my mother's hand as she was next in line,
Ela nunca aprendeu a nadar e estava com medo,She never learned to swim and was afraid,
Mas ela enfrentou seu medo da água,But she faced her fear of water,
respirou fundo e fechou os olhos,took a breath and closed her eyes,
E mergulhou para o Senhor mostrar sua fé,And went under for the Lord to show her faith,

Assim como, João no Jordão,Just like, John in the Jordan,
João no Jordão,John in the Jordan,
Assim como, João no Jordão,Just like, John in the Jordan,
Senhor, lave, meus pecados.Lord, wash, my sins away.

Assim como, João no JordãoJust like, John in the Jordan
Assim como, João no JordãoJust like, John in the Jordan
