Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

(CLICK ON TITLE TO HEAR SONG) RIVER OF JORDAN Words & Music by Hazel Houser Sung by Monroe Crossing To the river of Jordan our Savior went one day, And we read that John the Baptist met Him there; When John baptized Jesus in Jordan's rushing waters, The mighty power of God filled the air. I'm on my way to the river of Jordan, Gonna walk right in to the rushing waters; I'm going down to the river of Jordan, And let the cool waters cleanse my soul. King Naaman was stricken with dreaded leprosy, And he called upon the man of God to pray; And Elijah said to Naaman, "Go dip yourself in Jordan, And let the cool waters wash your spots away." He went right down to the river of Jordan, He walked right in to the rushing waters; He dipped himself in the river of Jordan, And its cool waters made him whole. Oh the river of Jordan is many miles away, And this mighty waters I may never see; But I'll find myself an altar in an old fashioned church, And the river of Jordan that will be. I'm on my way to the river of Jordan, Gonna walk right in to the rushing waters; I'm going down to the river of Jordan, And let the cool waters cleanse my soul. I'm on my way to the river of Jordan, Gonna walk right in to the rushing waters; I'm going down to the river of Jordan, And let the cool waters cleanse my soul. |
