As I WENT DOWN IN THE RIVER TO PRAY

3:16 PM


 As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord show me the way!

O sisters let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O sisters let's go down
Down in the river to pray


(a song I have been singing, cherishing, and in awe over.  The astonishing history of it is as beautiful as the simplicity of the lyrics. It' has an undying, eternal flavor that is as the candle that never burns out. Learn + Listen )

Have you heard this song?
Do you pray outdoors?
