675. Take Me to the Water

1 Take me to the water,
Take me to the water,
Take me to the water
to be baptized.

2 None but the righteous,
None but the righteous,
None but the righteous
shall see God.

3 I love Jesus,
I love Jesus,
I love Jesus.
Yes, I do.

4 In the name of Jesus,
In the name of Jesus,
In the name of Jesus
we shall be saved.

5 I know I got religion,
I know I got religion,
I know I got religion,
Yes, I do.

6 Glory, hallelujah,
Glory, hallelujah,
Glory, hallelujah,
to be baptized.
