The Waters of Jordan

I want to be baptized in the waters of Jordan
Like my Lord Jesus had done
I want to be baptized in the waters of Jordan
And the new life that surely will come

I’ve lived a good life, not perfect but good
I’ve lived a life the best that I could
But I think there’s a better life waiting for me
A life that I can’t wait to see

I want to be baptized in the waters of Jordan
Like my Lord Jesus had done
I want to be baptized in the waters of Jordan
And the new life that surely will come

I’ve read the good book and have verses to quote
I’ve read the good book and believe what they wrote
Believe that the good book is my very best guide
And that all I must do is decide

I want to be baptized in the waters of Jordan
Like my Lord Jesus had done
I want to be baptized in the waters of Jordan
And the new life that surely will come

But the waters of Jordan are miles away
While the waters of Jesus are right here today
Yes- here is the water, so what’s keeping you
Come on you know what to do

You want to be baptized in the waters of Jordan
Like our Lord Jesus had done
You want to be baptized in the waters of Jordan
But these waters are better than none
