Get Away, Jordan lyrics

(Get away, Jordan...)

[Chorus:]
Get away, Jordan (I want you to get away). Get away, Jordan
Get away, (get away) Jordan. I wanna cross over to see my Lord (Get away)
[Repeat]

You know that I looked over Jordan and what did I see? (bop)
(I wanna cros over to see my Lord)
I saw a band of angels comin' after me (bop)
(I wanna cros over to see my Lord, get away)

[Chorus]

You know that I went to the river, didn't go for to stay (bop)
(I wanna cros over to see my Lord)
You know my soul got happy – stayed all day (bop)
(I wanna cros over to see my Lord, get away)
Get away, Jordan (get away)
Get away, oh, chilly Jordan, get away
(Get away, Jordan) Get away, Jordan
I wanna cross over (I wanna cros over)
To see my Lord (to see my Lord) get away

[Bridge:]
Get back, Jordan (hey, hey, hey, get away)
Get away, oh, chilly Jordan, get away. Get back, Jordan, oh

I want to cross over to see my Lord (yes)
If religion were a thing that your money could buy (bop, bop)
(I wanna cross over to see my Lord)
You know that the rich would live, and the poor would just... drop!
(I wanna cross over to see my Lord, get away)

[Bridge]

... I wanna cross the Jordan just to see Him face to face
'Cause I believe He'll part the waters if I have a little faith, so get
Get back, Jordan (gotta get across)
Get back, 'cause I wanna see my Jesus
No temptation is gonna keep me from seein' Him on the other side
So I'm prayin', help me, Lord, and (gotta get across)
Split this Jordan/Ooh, get back, Jordan, oh
I want to cross over to see my Lord
Yes, I wanna cross over to see my Saviour face to face
(I wanna see Jesus) Yes, I gotta get to the other side
(To see my Lord) Get back (get away back) Jordan!
