Cleansing Water

See Jesus take Elijah’s cloak
And for us Jordan’s waters part
As He by John with water soaked
And He to us Himself imparts.

Dry shod we can through life now walk,
For mud of sin no longer clings;
With Father’s voice He to us talks
As angels of His glory sing.

And if we step aside and sin,
His water will continue cleanse
As pure He washes us again
With Spirit in His water sends.

When we arise from earthly fount
With Jordan’s waters left behind,
We’ll find ourselves on heaven’s mount—
At Jesus’ table we will dine.
