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
