Down in the River to Pray
Soulful Reflections: Down in the River to Pray's Spiritual Journey
Lyrics
As I went down to the river to pray
Reflecting on a spiritual journey, going to the river for prayer.
Studyin’ about that good ol' way
Contemplating the traditional and virtuous path.
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Questioning who will receive honor and glory.
Good Lord, show me the way
Seeking guidance from the Lord for the right path.
O brothers, let's go down
Inviting brothers to join in the spiritual journey.
Let's go down, come on down
Encouraging a communal descent for prayer.
O brothers, let's go down
Repeating the call for brothers to participate.
Down in the river to pray
Emphasizing the destination of the river for prayer.
As I went down in the river to pray
Reiterating the act of going down to the river for prayer.
Studyin’ about that good ol’ way
Reflecting on the traditional and virtuous path again.
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Questioning who deserves a celestial crown.
Good Lord, show me the way
Seeking divine guidance on the righteous path.
O sisters, let's go down
Extending the invitation to sisters to join the spiritual journey.
Let's go down, Come on down
Encouraging sisters to descend together for prayer.
O sisters, let's go down
Repeating the call for sisters to participate.
Down in the river to pray
Emphasizing the communal prayer in the river for sisters.
As I went down in the river to pray
Reiterating the act of going down to the river for prayer.
Studyin’ about that good ol' way
Contemplating the traditional and virtuous path once more.
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Questioning who deserves a celestial crown.
Good Lord, show me the way
Seeking divine guidance on the righteous path.
O mothers, let’s go down
Calling mothers to participate in the spiritual journey.
Let's go down, don't you wanna go down?
Urging mothers to join the communal descent for prayer.
Come on mothers, let’s go down
Repeating the call for mothers to go down together.
Down in the river to pray
Emphasizing the communal prayer in the river for mothers.
As I went down in the river to pray
Reiterating the act of going down to the river for prayer.
Studying about that good ol way
Stressing the contemplation of the traditional and virtuous way.
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Questioning who will be honored with a celestial robe and crown.
Good Lord, show me the way
Seeking divine guidance on the righteous path.
O sinners, let’s go down
Inviting sinners to participate in the spiritual journey.
Let’s go down, come on down
Urging sinners to join the communal descent for prayer.
O sinners, let’s go down
Repeating the call for sinners to go down together.
Down in the river to pray
Emphasizing the communal prayer in the river for sinners.
