Down to the River to Pray
Soulful Reflections: Journey in the River of Faith
Lyrics
As I went down in the river to pray
Contemplating through prayer while in the river.
Studying about that good ol' way
Reflecting on the traditional, virtuous path.
And who shall wear the starry crown
Questioning who will receive heavenly honors.
Good Lord, show me the way
Seeking divine guidance in the journey.
O brothers, let's go down
Inviting brothers to join the spiritual descent.
Let's go down, come on down
Encouraging a collective descent into spirituality.
O brothers, let's go down
Reiterating the call for brothers to join.
Down in the river to pray
Emphasizing the spiritual destination in the river.
As I went down in the river to pray
Revisiting the prayerful descent into the river.
Studying about that good ol' way
Reviewing the study of the righteous path.
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Inquiring about those destined for honor and glory.
Good Lord, show me the way
Seeking continued divine guidance.
O sisters, let's go down
Encouraging sisters to join the spiritual descent.
Let's go down, come on down
Inviting a collective spiritual journey for sisters.
O sisters, let's go down
Reiterating the call for sisters to join.
Down in the river to pray
Emphasizing the spiritual destination in the river.
As I went down in the river to pray
Recalling the prayerful descent into the river.
Studying about that good ol' way
Reflecting on the study of the virtuous path.
And who shall wear the starry crown
Questioning who will attain celestial honors.
Good Lord, show me the way
Seeking ongoing divine guidance.
O mothers, let's go down
Encouraging mothers to join the spiritual descent.
Let's go down, come on down
Inviting a collective spiritual journey for mothers.
O mothers, let's go down

-As we went down in the river to pray
Reflecting on the collective prayerful descent.

And who shall wear the robe and crown
Questioning who will wear heavenly robes and crowns.

Seeking divine guidance collectively for the group.
