Lyrics
Power and the Glory
Standin on the bank of th Jordan River,
Watchin a man baptize my brother
In swirlin eddies stood the man
In swirlin water and swirlin sand
a thousand cam and took his hand
They all, looked to find, the Promised Land
Standin on the bank of th Jordan River,
Watchin as John baptized my brother
He baptized the sinners and he spoke of the savior
Then he dropped to his knees for there stood Jesus
Dropped to his knees when he felt the power
Dropped to his knees when he saw the glory
Dropped to his knees when he saw the Savior
We fell to our knees in golden light,
A thousand voices they rose as one
Raised our arms and hailed our lord
The power and the glory held back the night
The power and the glory held back the night
The power and the glory held back the night
He baptized a thousand people
He?ll baptize a thousand more
But he?ll never never never baptize another savior
Never baptize another Jesus Christ
Never get to feel the power and the glory
Never get to feel the power like that again
Never gonna feel it quite like that again
But the power and the glory still holds back the night
