The River
Words and Music by Tony Stewart
Verse 1:
The servant told Naman to dip seven times
In that muddy old Jordan, and he would be all right.
Those sores on his flesh would then be gone
When Naman obeyed he came out with a song.
Chorus:
I'm going down to the river, Jordan deep and wide
Going down to the river, with Jesus by my side.
I'm going down to the river, to wash away my sin.
I'm going down to the river, I'm not coming back again.
Verse 2:
Many times wondrous miracles occurred
When Jesus walked in this old sinful world.
Scoffers tried their best to belittle our Lord
And make a mockery of His precious words.
Verse 3:
Still today the multitudes try
To say we don't need this old man to die.
But there is one thing that my heart craves
To take this old creature to a watery grave.
