The River Jordan

Com'on down to the river Jordan
This place, you know it's not ordinary
It's where you want to bury
Your past transgressions
Don't you worry
You're not gonna miss
I just got back from the wilderness
Eat'in locusts and wild honey
A diet like that will surely set you free
From temptation of material things
The lust thereof keeps your mind in chains
But you want yours and it's kept out of reach
And that will guarantee your life misery
You're unconscious
You don't got a clue
With the likes of you, I sho got work to do

Prepare ye the way, the way of the Lord
Prepare ye the way, the way of the Lord

Repent ye, the Kingdom is at hand
If you wanna get on board you got to comprehend
Your soul now, has to be cleanse
To rid this part of you from the original sin
I baptize you, down in the water
In the holy name of the Father
It's the initiation
Helping you to go down in purification
Submerging you got to get wet
Something to enhance the effect of your reflection
You're the image of the one who is perfection
But you don't got a clue
With the likes of you, I sho got work to do

Prepare ye the way, the way of the Lord
Prepare ye the way, the way of the Lord

There will come one after me with a different method
But it doesn't mean my way is disrespected
The Holy One is mightier than me
While I use water, he will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire
No, I won't tell you a lie
His sandals I'm not worthy to untie
His fan is in his hand
He'll purge his floor and gather wheat throughout the land
And he's com'in soon
This is why I say these things to you
But you guys don't got a clue
Now I know I got some work to do

Prepare ye the way, the way of the Lord
Prepare ye the way, the way of the Lord
