Leon Bridges - River (Official Video)

Dear God, today I pray for all of us. Today I pray for our collective pain, our collective sins, our collective suffering. Today I ask you to forgive us and to teach us to also forgive ourselves. Today I ask you to wash away all of the pain from our hearts and bring to us peace. Today we reach out to you humbly and surrender...surrender from trying to do everything ourselves...and allow your power to flow through us...to guide us, to help us overcome the insurmountable. Addiction, pain, suffering, negativity, hatred, ignorance, regret, poverty, disease, war, famine, shortcomings. We surrender Lord...we can't do this by ourselves anymore...

Been travelling these wide roads for so long My heart's been far from you Ten thousand miles gone Oh, I want to come near and give you Every part of me But there is blood on my hands And my lips are unclean In my darkness I remember Momma's words reoccur to me: "Surrender to the good Lord And he'll wipe your slate clean" Take me to your river I want to go I'll go Take me to your river I want to know Dip me in your smooth waters I'll go in As a man with many crimes Come up for air As my sins flow down the Jordan Oh, I want to come near and give you Every part of me But there is blood on my hands And my lips are unclean Take me to your river I want to go Oh, I go Take me to your river I want to know I want to go want to go want to go I want to know want to know want to know (bis) Take me to your river I want to go Lord please let me know Take me to your river I want to know Leon Bridges - River

I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this song❤

I'm a dentist in Brazil and this song plays at my work every day… it always gave me a lot of peace and tranquility but only today I was able to realize that this song is a song for God after being translated into Portuguese. I loved it

This is not just a song - it is a prayer ... accompanied by beautiful music.

After breaking up with the mother of my daughter, I went to go live with my brother for a few months. I was going through a hard time at that point in my life. We'd sit in his living room for hours talking about anything and everything with laughter in almost every moment, making me forget my situation for as long as the conversations stretched on. One day it was the usual set up, we're both in his living room listening to music telling stories back and forth until he received a text from my ex. She sent him a picture of her sonogram of my son. After the initial shock, it was one of the rare moments where we sat in silence and didn't exchange words for a few minutes. After a few moments, he puts this song on. It was the first time I had ever heard it, but it was the perfect song to put on in my opinion. I'll never forget that moment R.I.P Big brother 😪 Your niece just turned 6 and your nephew is almost 4

I’m not a religious person despite being raised as a catholic, but there’s something about the song and lyrics that brings me absolute peace. Thanks Leon ❤

I heard a young man sing this song at karaoke three days ago at The Joint in Columbia, S C. while visiting my 80 y.o. Dad. He sang so poignantly. When he finished and sat down, the bar (including my Dad) began singing & harmonizing together " take me to the river I wanna go." It was so beautiful...I had never heard the song. The chorus pops in my head & I had to research it so here I am...in awe. Thank you for this song

People say good music is dead but it never will die. Your just looking in all the wrong places 👌🏻

I played this at my daughters funeral in 2019. In a week it will mark two years. I come back and listen to this song every year around this time. This song means so much to me. It helped me accept my daughter going to heaven and leaving me, that I had to surrender her to god.

I come back to this song everytime I want to end it all. This Song and god saves me every single time

I just lost my baby and I’ve been playing this song on repeat for the last 3 days, just soothes me during this terrible time

Johnny Depp quote: "People cry, not because they're weak. It's because they've been strong for too long."

If your reading I ask you to pray for my mom, she's going under a lot of stress between my grandma having cancer and being a single mother her life hard. I ask you to pray.....please

My son, 14, is becoming aware that he is a powerful gift, the gift of free will and the ART of voice ❤

I never heard this song before .. it started raining 15 mins ago and I was just thinking what song to play and this song came out of nowhere.. God is that you? I’m crying so hard right now 🙌🏾🫶🏾❤

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray for everyone in the comments and watching going through troubling times and asking for your guidance and help. I pray you will give them the power, might, and will to carry their burdens and give their troubles to you. I pray you show them the path of righteousness and allow them to fill their hearts with joy. I pray you show them the guidance they need to place their troubles and weary in your healing hands. I pray for these strangers and ask you to give them forgiveness, give me love, show them their happiness, and enlighten them on the brightness of this world. I pray they will place their faith and courage in your hands dear Lord and feel the warmth and power of your love and guidance. I have read words asking for help, for prayers, for burdens to be lifted, and I ask you dear Lord to allow these brothers and sisters in Christ to open their eyes to your glory and seek their truths and happiness. I pray for everyone to find their joy and understand that you will guide them through their life dear Heavenly Father. I thank you for your love and power dear Lord and I pray you place your healing hands upon my neighbors dear Lord! In Jesus name I humbly pray Amen!

I'm speechless. This video added another layer to what was already an incredible piece of art

Every time i hear this song i transcend to another place filled with love. I find my self closer to GOD .

Makes me weep, makes me feel good, like a washing of the soul. His voice is anointed with life.
