    Default Solved: What Album Is This Song In

    I watched a bluegrass concert on public tv. The finale was by Emmylou Harris leading a large group of musicians in a song about John the Baptist. The lyrics went something like this:

    John.
    Go forth quickly.
    John.
    I'll be with you.
    John.
    Don't be afraid.
    John.
    Today's the day.

    Anyone familiar with this song and the album its in?

    Maybe this: "Get Up John" with (Bill Monroe/Marty Stuart/Jerry Sullivan)

    At The Ryman Album


    Well get up John go down to Jordan
    Get up John prepare the way
    Man from Galilee is waiting
    You must meet him there today

    Get up John go tell my people
    This will be a Holy day
    Tell them of the Jew that's waiting
    That the Saviors on the way

    John
    Even the children
    John
    Go Unafraid
    John
    I'll go with you
    John The Baptist
    This is the day

    Well get up John go tell Jerusalem
    Savior's waiting on the shore
    Baptize Him in the River Jordan
    I'll send a dove from Heaven's door

    John
    Even the children
    John
    Go Unafraid
    John
    I'll go with you
    John The Baptist
    This is the day

    Well get up John your work is finished
    Daylight breaks the soldiers come
    You will die for me tomorrow
    Welcome home your race is run

    John
    You've been chosen
    John
    Go Unafraid
    John
    I'll go with you
    John The Baptist
    This is the day
