73 years on this planet and I keep finding such unbelievable music of all kinds it makes me feel like I'm a teenager

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.

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

This is my favorite song by him besides twistin and grovin which is a song about our grandparents and Lisa Sawyer which a song about his mom my aunt Lisa and where she grew up also where I once lived. We are so Proud of you Todd. God Bless You

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

I dont consider myself a religious man, but this song is too beautiful to not feel some type of connection with God when I listen to it.
@ZeemoviesHd561
I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this song❤

“River” is just one of those songs that talks about salvation. It’s basically saying that this is the life that I have been living. I have been living down the wide road, and the Bible uses the wide road as the road that is to destruction. It’s basically the turning point, really just surrendering to God. The river represents being Baptized, and really just turning everything to God -Leon Bridges

This is so fundamental to all humans. The need to feel forgiven or cleansed and the beauty of God's mercy in giving us that gift of cleansing if we just ask him for forgiveness. Thank you Jesus for the gift of life and the gift of an abundant life in your through faith in your name Jesus.
@LeenaStark
This is not just a song - it is a prayer ... accompanied by beautiful music.

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

We lost our son 3 months ago. He had problems with addictions. This song brought me healing and cleansed my spirit. I know he is somewhere better. Thank you for this song.
@8fishslayer
You sent out a little part of your love when you recorded this song. I’m the one who captured it…and I’m not giving it back. Now, there is a part of you living inside a 54 year old white man who lives at the end of the road in Alaska. To my African American neighbors….thank you for loving this old stray dog, teaching him how to work, showing him how parents are suppose to act, letting him know what honor, humility and forgiveness looks like.❤
@AdrianneWilliams-r6x
I first heard this song on All American, then I heard it again on the new Netflix series Forever. This is the most passionate, meaningful song I've ever heard. Bless the voices that delivered this song.

I'm an agnostic Buddhist, and definitely not a religious person in the traditional Christian sense, but I appreciate the message and meaning of this song and the story of Jesus so much. At any point in your life, no matter what you have done or where you come from, there can always be the moment where you change and follow the path of righteousness and truth. Where you stop blaming and punishing yourself and the world for the terrible things in the past you have done and that have been done to you, because we all have them, and move on to live a life of meaning and joy and harmony; to live as close to the image of Jesus you are able. "Dip me in your smooth waters. I go in as a man with many crimes; come up for air as my sins float down the Jordan."

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
@ramonagoodwin3717
Every time I go through depression I'll always come back to the song and it lifts me up lift me up to the Lord
