Verse 1
In the hush of the Jordan, the crowd held its breath,
A Savior stood lonely, beneath skies of red.
With mercy as sandals, he walked toward the shore,
One foot touched the troubled tide, sin cried out no more.
Chorus
One foot in the water of sin, he stood,
To bear every burden, to win us with love.
He carried the weight of a world gone astray,
Till sins were forgiven and dawn found the day.
Verse 2
The waves whispered stories of valleys and sin,
Yet up from the river rose grace dressed in skin.
He stepped a little further, the current grew mild,
And the chorus of heaven sang mercy for all mankind.
Chorus
One foot in the water of sin, he stood,
To bear every burden, to win us with love.
He carried the weight of a world gone astray,
Till sins were forgiven and dawn found the day.
Bridge
From nails to the wind, from grave to the dawn,
He carried our sins till the old days were gone.
If we trusting, we’ll follow where mercy begins,
In the One who forgives, in the Lamb who rescinds.
Verse 3
Now we hear the rivers of grace softly call,
“Come lay down your troubles, surrender them all.”
The first foot of Jesus opened the floodgates of grace,
And the second was mercy that washed every trace.
Chorus
One foot in the water of sin, he stood,
To bear every burden, to win us with love.
He carried the weight of a world gone astray,
Till sins were forgiven and dawn found the day.
Outro
So we walk from the shore with hearts made new,
Holding the One who bore all sin for you.
With one foot in grace and the other in light,
We follow the Savior who made all things right.
