You laid aside Your glory on the banks of the Jordan
And all for me You went down to the depths
You traded Heaven's borders for the chill of murky waters
And took the place of one condemned to death
That day John preached for man to draw near
But God it's You that came down here
Making shorter Man's road to You
In Jordan's waters I'm being made new
As You plunged into the deep in search of muddy pearls
Son of Man, You left behind Your robe
There You found me in the dark and as You rose out of the mire
This prodigal came up dressed in gold
When You rose out of that pale grave into a hot Judean sun
With a violence the heavens did divide
Father You came running, and You wrapped me in Your voice
Shouting "this son of mine was dead but now's alive!"
And all for me You went down to the depths

But God it's You that came down here

In Jordan's waters I'm being made new
As You plunged into the deep in search of muddy pearls
Son of Man, You left behind Your robe
There You found me in the dark and as You rose out of the mire

When You rose out of that pale grave into a hot Judean sun

Father You came running, and You wrapped me in Your voice
Shouting "this son of mine was dead but now's alive!"
