Jordan

[Verse 1] They drowned me in the Jordan When they tried to wash me clean They got the stains out But now its too damn hard to breathe They told me he's a good Lord As they tied the 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 and heart hardened Everything I'd known had let me down And that is whеre you found me Grace and whiskеy on your breath You pulled me back on my feet And taught me how to dance again [Chorus] And 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 [verse 2] I don't feel so young now I gave the best years of my life away I tried to build an institution Instead of trying to keep the faith Here in the wild, you loved me Though I was not lovely or deserving You kissed the curse from my lips And taught them to rejoice again [Chorus] And now we're building our own Promised Land On this new which 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
