Roll, Jordan, Roll

Roll, Jordan, Roll – a raw, powerful Emotional Gospel Blues Worship spiritual that stirs the soul.
This classic traditional song, delivered with gritty Delta blues slide guitar and passionate, heartfelt vocals, carries the deep longing for freedom, crossing over into the promised land, and finding rest on the other side of the river.
Just as the Israelites crossed the Jordan into their inheritance, this song becomes a prayer and declaration for every believer: the journey is hard, but victory and eternal rest are coming. Let the raw emotion and bluesy drive lift your spirit and renew your hope.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well I stood by the river, dark and cold,
Yeah, I stood by that Jordan, dark and cold,
Heard the water keep whisperin’, “Child, come home.”

[Turnaround]

Roll, Jordan, roll…
Mm, roll, Jordan, roll…

[Verse 2]

Got mud on my boots, got fear in my soul,
Yeah, mud on my boots, fear in my soul,
But that river keep movin’, won’t leave me alone.

[Turnaround]

Roll, Jordan, roll…
Let that deep water roll…

[Verse 3]

Ain’t no bridge built where I gotta go,
No, ain’t no bridge where I gotta go,
Just faith and that current flowin’ slow.

[Turnaround]

Roll, Jordan, roll…
Carry me when you roll…

[Verse 4]

When that trumpet sound and the sky unfold,
Yeah, when that last horn cry out bold,
I’ll step in the water, let that river take hold.

[Final Tag]

Roll, Jordan, roll…
My soul gonna roll…
