The muddy river Jordan In a land called Jerusalem It seems so long ago and far away But I wish I'd been there standing in the sun When John baptized Jesus on that day That old water might look muddy from the outside But when you're standing in it it's so clear Cause you look back and you realize That our Lord Jesus Christ was baptized here Many times I've read in my bible about that great event Oh, but to see the one who was heaven sent And to those of you who don't believe what happened on that day When I cross the chilly Jordan this is what I'll say That old water might look muddy from the outside But when you're standing in it it's so clear Cause you look back and you realize That our Lord Jesus Christ was baptized here This was written in song format. Tell me what you think. |

Dear Jeff, What a wonderful journey you have written about. The message does look muddy also, until we except Jesus as our Lord. THEN EVERTHING GETS CLEAR THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE BEFORE. Things get clear that we didn't understand before, because the mud is washed away. Great poem Jeff. Keep them coming. I could feel the rythem. Love, Erie |

I enjoyed reading this and Jesus did say he is the way, the truth, and the life. James |

Song format? Yeah, I guess I see it now... I was so captured by the message that I didn't realize how well it flowed! Great work! "Don't let your character get camoflaged with your environment. Find who you are and let it stay in its true colors." --Rachel Joy Scott |
