Go down to the river, “Jordan”
There is a man named Jesus there.
He has a story to tell you
Words from His Father sent to share.
He came down to have, ” John” baptize Him
In the waters of the Jordan River, you see.
Now He wants to do the same for you
Baptizing you in His Fathers name to be clean.
He is a man whom was born of Mary
In a manger, some time ago.
King Harrod tried to kill Him
But an Angel told Mary and Joseph
To take the babe Jesus and, ” Go! ”
He now walks amongst us
For how long no man will ever know.
Only His Father in Heaven
He to Jesus shall soon show.
