[Intro 1]
[D][Em][D][Em]
[D]

[Verse 1]
They drowned [D]me in the Jordan
When they tried to [Em]wash
[D]me clean
They got the stains out
But now it's [Em]too damn
hard to [D]breathe
They told me he's a good Lord
As they tied shackles [Em]to my
[D]feet
They drowned me in the Jordan
And then they walked away
[Em]from me

[Verse 2]
[D]
I washed up on the shores alone
In [Em]a tattered wedding [G]gown[D]
Disillusioned and heart hardened
Everything [G]I'd known had [Em]let me down,
down, [G]down[D]
And that is where you found me
Grace and [Em]whiskey on [G]your breath
[D]You pulled me back on my feet
And taught me how [Em]to dance again

[Verse 3]
And now we're [Gm]building our
own prom[D]ised land
On this new ground which [Em]we stand
God bless the work of our [F#m]hands
[D]And[F#m] make good on
[Em]our plans
'Cause now I've found love there's
no turning [D]back
[Em]oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 4]
[D]
I don't feel
So young [Em]now
Gave the best years of my
life [G]a way[D]
I tried to build an institution
Instead of trying to keep the
[G]faith[Em][G][D]
But here in the wild
You Loved me though I was
[Em]not lovely or deserving
[D]You Kissed the curse from my lips
And taught them to re[Em]joice again

[Verse 5]
And now we're [G]build[Gm]ing
our own prom[D]ised land
On this new ground [Em]which we stand
God bless the work of our [F#m]hands
[D]And make good on [Em]our plans
'Cause now I've found love there's no turning [D]back[G]
[Em]
