Washed in the Water

The banks of the Jordan gonna be my road I’ll follow the river till it takes me home
Washed in the water, pray the Lord my soul to keep

O my God I’ve been laid so low The devil won’t seem to let me go
Washed in the water, pray the Lord my soul to keep

Gabriel’s coming to take me home

I was born into the grave I’ve been set free and yet still a slave
Washed in the water, pray the Lord my soul to keep

I can hear the hounds that Satan sent Getting closer now must have caught my scent
Washed in the water, pray the Lord my soul to keep

Running for cover I heard it ring out Into the water the shot threw me down
Washed in the water, pray the Lord my soul to keep

Blood in the water, my time has run out I’ll make it ashore, Lord, I know it somehow
Washed in the water, pray the Lord my soul to keep

The Good Lord’s coming to take me home
