Answer 1

Chorus

STOOD ON THE BANKS OF JORDAN ONE DAY,

(JUST TO SEE THOSE SHIPS GO SAILING ON, THROUGH)

I STOOD ON THE BANKS OF JORDAN, LORD TO SEE THOSE SHIPS GO BY.

1st:

AND WHEN I SAW IT I SAID LORD, I GOT MY TICKET, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME DOWN HERE.

YOU TOOK MY FATHER; YOU CAME BACK AND GOT MY MOTHER. YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME THAT WAS SO DEAR.

Chorus:

ALL I COULD DO WAS STAND THERE ON THE BANKS OF JORDAN, MOTHER WAS GOING HOME. (JUST TO SEE THOSE SHIPS GO SAILING ON, THROUGH)

I STOOD ON THE BANKS OF JORDAN, GOD KNOWS I DID, I HAD TO SEE THOSE SHIPS GO BY

I KNOW SHE WAITING AND WATCHING, I TOLD HER I’D BE HOME AFTER WHILE,

THOSE WERE THE LAST WORDS I EVER TOLD MY MOTHER; SHE CLOSED HER EYES AND WENT ON TO GLORY WITH A SMILE.

Chorus

I STOOD ON THE BANKS OF JORDAN, (JUST TO SEE THOSE SHIPS GO SAILING ON, THROUGH)

I STOOD ON THE BANKS OF JORDAN, GOD KNOWS I DID, I HAD TO SEE THOSE SHIPS GO BY.

LORD, I SURELY GOT MY TICKET, AND IT STAMPED FOR GLORY LAND,

I DON’'T WANT THAT OLD SHIP TO LEAVE ME; IT’'S THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I GOT TO GLORY LAND.

Chorus:

I STOOD THERE ON THE JORDAN, (JUST TO SEE THOSE SHIPS GO SAILING ON, THROUGH)

I STOOD ON THE BANKS OF JORDAN; GOD KNOWS I DID, JUST TO SEE THOSE SHIPS GO BY.

Answer 2

When Jesus went down to the river
and John baptized him there.
It was pleasing to the father,
cause the Spirit filled the air.

When I went down to the river
the water was deep and cold.
It was chilling to the body
but it sure felt good to the soul.

Chorus:
It's cool down on banks of Jordan.
It's cool down on banks of Jordan.
It's cool down on banks of Jordan.
My Lord says, "come on in, I'll meet you there".
