Down to the River to Pray
River of Redemption: Unveiling the Spiritual Journey in Alison Krauss's Melody
Lyrics
As I went down in the river to pray
Expressing the act of praying while being immersed in the river.
Studying about that good ol' way
Reflecting on traditional and righteous ways of living.
And who shall wear the starry crown
Contemplating who will be honored with a celestial crown.
Good Lord, show me the way
Seeking divine guidance to navigate life's journey.
