They drowned me in the Jordan
 Then they tried to wash me clean
 ♪
 They got the stains out
 But now it's too damn hard to breathe
 ♪
 They told me he's a good Lord
 As they tied the shackles to my feet
 ♪
 They drowned me in the Jordan
 And then they walked away from me
 ♪
 I washed up on the shores alone
 In a tattered wedding gown
 ♪
 Disillusioned and hardened
 Everything I'd known had let me down, down, down
 ♪
 That is where you found me
 Grace and whisky on your breath
 ♪
 You pulled me back on my feet
 And taught me how to dance again
 Now we're building our own promised land
 On this new ground we stand
 God bless the work of our hands
 And make good on our plans
 'Cause now I've found love
 There's no turning back
 
 Oh-oh-oh-oh
 ♪
 I don't feel so young now
 Gave the best years of my life away
 I tried to build an institution
 Instead of tryna keep the faith
 ♪
 If you'd been the one
 You loved me though I was not lovely or deserving
 
 You kissed the curse from my lips
 And taught them to rejoice again
 Now we're building our own promised land
 On this new ground we stand
 God bless the work of our hands
 And make good on our plans
 'Cause now I've found love
 There's no turning back
 ♪
 Now I've found love
 There's no turning back
