134. 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,
oh yes, I do.

4 He’s my Savior,
He's my Savior,
He's my Savior,
oh yes, He is.
