Roll back Jordan, roll back fast!
Roll back Jordan, let me pass!
Roll back Jordan, let me through!
Roll back Jordan, I've many things to do

Roll back Jordan, God's work must go on
Roll back Jordan, cease to block my path
Roll back Jordan, I must carry on
Roll back Jordan, or you'll see Gods wrath

Roll back Jordan, take the enemy with you
Roll back Jordan, and take sin and depression too
Roll back Jordan, Gods return is very soon
Roll back Jordan, while I sing this heavenly tune

Roll back Jordan, over there, heavens gates I see
Roll back Jordan, His throne on the glassy sea
Roll back Jordan, the tune is exceeding simple
Roll back Jordan, His praises rock the temple

Roll back Jordan, you chilly wide river
Roll back Jordan, thinking of His bliss stills the shiver
Roll back Jordan, for death has no sting
Roll back Jordan, when His praises and glory I sing

Roll back Jordan, roll on back now I cry
Roll back Jordan, tears from my eyes spill and roll
Roll back Jordan, when I think for me He died
Roll back Jordan, His blood my sins did throw

Roll back Jordan, in water His blood makes clean
Roll back Jordan, when I'm baptized in His Name
Roll back Jordan, from chaff I've been gleaned
Roll back Jordan, His Name on my soul I claim
