[Verse 1]
They drowned me in the Jordan
When they tried to wash me clean
They got the stains out
But now its 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 heart hardened
Everything I'd known had let me down
And that is whеre you found me
Grace and whiskеy on your breath
You pulled me back on my feet
And taught me how to dance again

[Chorus]
And 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
[verse 2]
I don't feel so young now
I gave the best years of my life away
I tried to build an institution
Instead of trying to keep the faith
Here in the wild, you loved me
Though I was not lovely or deserving
You kissed the curse from my lips
And taught them to rejoice again

[Chorus]
And now we're building our own Promised Land
On this new which 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
