jordan

They drowned me in the Jordan

Then they tried to wash me clean

They got the stains out

But now it's too damn hard to breathe

They told me he's a good Lord

As they tied shackles to my feet

They drowned me in the Jordan

And then they walked away from me

I washed up on the shores alone

In a tattered wedding gown

Disillusioned in her hardened

Everything I'd known had let me down, down, down

And that is where you found me

Grace and whisky on your breath

You pulled me back on my feet

And taught me how to dance again

Now we're building our own promised land

On this new ground we stand

God bless the work of our hands

And make good on our plans

Cause now I've found love

There's no turning back

Ooh

I don't feel so young now

Gave the best years of my life away

I tried to build an institution

Instead of trying to keep the faith

If you'd been the one

You loved me though I was not lovely or deserving

You kissed the curse from my lips

And taught them to rejoice again

Now we're building our own promised land

On this new ground we stand

God bless the work of our hands

And make good on our plans

'Cause now I've found love

There's no turning back

Now I've found love

There's no turning back
