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...
💕🙏🏽💎
Amen. Thank you.
Amen!
Amen🌹

People say good music is dead but it never will die. Your just looking in all the wrong places 👌🏻
Realest comment ever.
beautiful.
so true
I just told someone on another song to check him out!! So much talent!!!
yep
I come back to this song everytime I want to end it all. This Song and god saves me every single time
Bless you my friend🙏
As one _broken_ human being to another, I will tell you this: I tried to _end it all_ once, during my late teens; my life was out of control, and I harbored no hope for the future. I came to a point where I believed that Life had no meaning or purpose, and I had lost all hope -- so, I sat down, wrote a letter to my mother, and I _overdosed_ on some _lethal drug_ I had gotten off the street.
By the time I was 'discovered' a few hours later ( _barely breathing_ ), I was pronounced DOA by the time they got me to the Hospital.
I wont go into WHAT I _experienced_ and what I SAW and FELT during my _death experience_ because it would end up being a book, so I will spare you the details; however --- what I would like to share with you is this: We DONT DIE.
The SOUL is _eternal_ ; once the Soul exits or releases ITSELF from the BODY, it FREES "itself" and is LIBERATED.
All the Soul takes with it on this _new journey_ are : the KNOWLEDGE 'it' ( _you_ ) have acquired during this lifetime, and --- the EXPERIENCES 'it' ( _you_ ) have lived and 'learned' from.
When one considers DEATH, and along with it a _Heaven and a Hell_ --- my personal experience is that :
HEAVEN, is a _place_ you go, to spend Eternity with what you LOVE most: YOURSELF.
and......
HELL, is a _place_ you go, to spend Eternity with what you HATE most: YOURSELF.
Stop considering on _ending_ your life, because this END will come when you least expect it --- but instead, try to LIVE your life with purpose, and do what you like and makes you HAPPY --- and in between : try to learn as much as you can before you arrive at the _end of the road._
And again I will say : there is no END.
DEATH is just an exit from this _existence_ into another existence, which we create here and now, through our thoughts, our words, and our actions.
Wishing you all the very best across the miles, and sending you this. Enjoy🙂👇

Hang in there my brother... Me too but there is something more
Keep coming back! ✝️
Life is better with you in it mate. Hope you seek help and have a better tomorrow.
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
oh, no! My sincere condolences. I can feel how this song would be soothing for you.
So sorry,
I'm so sorry for your loss 😢
So sorry 4 yo loss hun
😢❤🙏🏾
This is not just a song - it is a _prayer_ ... accompanied by beautiful music.
Leena Stark YESS! 🙏🏽
I like your videos on channel.
@@ogmangler8820 Very much appreciated.
Thank YOU 🙋✌
Perfect description 🙏🏾❤️

Johnny Depp quote: "People cry, not because they're weak. It's because they've been strong for too long."
Indeed
Makes sense 🤔
So true
Maybe they were weak for not recognizing their feelings for long time, and finally found strength to feel, understand and accept them. It takes courage to look deep inside you and feel your soul..
❤
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
Olá, sou um garoto dos Estados Unidos, especificamente de Oklahoma, nem gosto desse tipo de música porque sou um cowboy, mas adoro essa música. Espero que você tenha um dia abençoado.
Eu ouvia essa música sempre em uma playlist aleatória que achei no Spotify, ela sempre mexia comigo e eu não entendia, até que prestei atenção na letra
Wow! Beautiful ❤❤❤
Bless..
I wish my dentist played this ! I might not have a panic attack everytime , lol.
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 ❤
You should be a religious person. Just means you aren't your own God, and you are humble enough to know you don't know everything yet you know who the truth is, and love who made us and us as well. Be holy because God is holy.
Just know that Gods loves you and has prepared a life full of promises for you , if you let Him lead your life and give it up to Him ♥️

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.
My boyfriend lost his father in October 2021. The memories I have with him are always reminded by this song, he was like a father to me, too. I'm sorry for your loss, and I feel for you. Stay strong, they are in a better place, we'll get there soon.
@@plumv So much pain. I can't cope. I hope you can❤
❤
Thoughts are with you love. Keep your head up.
I'm so sorry for your loss... We will all be going home very soon and I'm sure you will see her again! God Bless you.. I know it's hard,I'm hoping to see someone Also when I go home!
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
I’m so sorry that you’re going through all of that. I’ll definitely keep you, your mom, and your grandmother in my prayers!! I hope things get better for you soon! Just keep your faith and trust in God, and know that He loves you and He will take care of you! Lots of love for you and your family!!❤️
She's definitely in my prayers. You're amazing for asking for us to pray for her. ❤
got you
Praying for help, to the creator all mighty powerful god to shine healing light where your mother needs it, praying for strength for your whole family... stay strong my friend❤️ #33
Praying for you and yours 🙏
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 🙌🏾🫶🏾❤
oh it is, and He is with you.. always

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
🙏🙏🙏
Sad💔
Seek Jesus Lord there is peace in him & redemption💗 🌏 is so broken💔
Most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Thank you for sharing bro, seriously.
🥺 thanks for sharing 🙌🏽
@@cy3995 May God continue to bless n keep you n your family love them always they are a blessing from God.... Stay prayed up life isn't forever
I think this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
And seen...
Joseph Leppert word!
Joseph, I can't get enough of it!!
me too....
I totally agree.....it takes you on a journey.
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
I'm looking at concert tickets and wondering if their worth $500. This comment is pushing me over the line...LOL
Is the Joint on Forest Dr?
Makes me weep, makes me feel good, like a washing of the soul. His voice is anointed with life.
Motown sound ❤ this song
Beautiful comment ❤
Amen and Glory to God❤🙌🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Anyone else listened to this song and started to cry............. Anyone listening in 2k21? I love this song!
I had tears in my eyes for some reason when this song randomly played on RUclips, it calmed me down ♥️
I listened to this song at least once a day for the past four years. I need this to wake up well in the morning
I always hummed the first part of the song to lull my kids to sleep. It speaks to me
@@acenanu121 yes same with me ...
@@rafaelferreira389 I've listed to this song everyday since the first day I discovered it
This is my first cousin... my baby cousin Todd "Leon Bridges" and I love him and I am so proud of him! 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
Truly amazing ❤️
Jodie Kennedy your cousin is a gift to the world...
Jodie Kennedy you're cousin has a beautiful gift. He has touched my soul deeply, whether I'm swaying my hips or tears are falling from my eyes. Thank you Todd Leon Bridges, and a thank you to his Mother.
😙😚😍😍😍😍😍😍
Would you happen to be related to the Bridges and the kings? Leon Bridges is a common name in my family. Bridges is our family name, we have a Todd Leon Bridges Sr. as well
The only problem of this song is that it ends. Leon, thank you for this art.
Every once in a while you come across a song that just hits different and brings tears to your eyes
We all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for us, so that we may have everlasting life. Now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and you will you be saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read Bible, pray for Jesus to reveal Himself to you and change you, seek to do what is right according to the Bible. Much love and God bless.
Very true. I have never heard him till this morning and something about his voice just made me tear up. I was raised that when that happens it is the Holy Spirit coming over you. Especially when in church or listening to something that is very moving like this.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. ...
I found this sound very moving. It sings to the soul.
Want to hear more
I want to meet someone that will make me feel the way that this type of music makes me feel. If that makes sense.
Lee-anne Russell fucking same
Lee-anne Russell you're not the only one ...
Lee-anne Russell ha ha. i hear you. but i know maybe wont
ohh yea..., me too.
Lee-anne Russell Jesus is knocking friend!
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

Mr. Verde thank you! It's like a beautiful poem❤️
Mr. Verde thank you!!!!!!!
I'm not a Christian, but I really love hearing soulful gospel like this. More genuine than a lot of other Christian music you hear.
Gospel music can be cleansing, no matter what your views are. The key is, it has to be rooted in love and humanity. Much love to you 💞
It's never too late.
yeah if you like this song you should listen to ultralight beam by kanye west tell me if you listen :)
@@amumizno they should listen to river by kanye lol
Or even "river" by kanye lol used the sample again@voidzoffical
I don’t remember where I first heard this song but I saved it and it still makes me cry uncontrollably. It brings me peace… despite the crocodile tears that flow down my face while I try to sing along. Beautiful talent Leon!❤
if you read this.. just say a little pray for me..
my cross is very heavy..
Prayers🙏🏾 going up. Stay strong, you will get through this moment in time.
Praying for you too. I pray God carries the cross with you in the form of someone. You will get your Simon of Cyrene
🙏🏾🙏🏾 don’t think of your cross as heavy. As humans we go through things just different things for each of us. No matter what the situation is God built you to with stand it.
Praying
i hear you brother. a lil chatty. i should shut up
cinematography is gorgeous. this is beautifully done
Chayse Irvin is a legend
Isobel Gungor true
love this.Leon plz continue your wonderful songs like this.Yes this is an Art coming from you.
Indeed it is!
The song take me to the river. The river is a place of repentance and finding peace and deliverance. This is a beautiful song. God's arms are open to the worst sinner. All sin is sin none bigger than the other. Jesus set a example to us when He Himself got baptised though He knew no sin. There is peace in that river
this song a beautiful prayer and all the people who are supporting and uplifting all our life’s hard moments is so beautiful. To whoever sees this, whatever you are battling or going thru I pray you see the light at the end and you find a inner peace you can accept. Stay blessed and take care of all of your beautiful selfs.
🥰
God bless you beautiful rose. You are light! I receive your prayer. Amen
Thank You... What a beautiful prayer.🙏🏽
I knew to keep scrolling and there would be a message for me. I have cancer, I lost all my family and predators found me, when I was an injured Gazelle... been 12 long years of bad people.... Now I'm finally being taken back Home.... Thank You for taking the time to message me and thank you for your Faith.... I'm not alone at this precise moment because of you. Thank you and God Bless Your Life xxxx
So beautiful. Prayers for anyone suffering right now. May God be with all of you, give you strength, and may you feel His never ending and unfailing love every minute of your lives.
I don't believe in God, but Leon Bridges makes me second think that. POWERFUL! Leon has blessed my ears.
+Wyleen Thinn Believe in the feeling the music gives you. That's a prayer. Don't worry about to who it goes.
+Wyleen Thinn Amém!
God was devised for the purpose of leeching money. Religion has caused widespread ignorance, hence pre-Renaissance times.
+Est Cortez You can't disprove God's existence.
+Est Cortez Let's get one thing straight; If you say religion fine (don't agree but...fine) GOD on the other hand, heck no! GOD is real, he's not to be held accountable for some of the nefarious things people do in his name!
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!
Nicholas Brock thank you for this. I have found myself at this song many times in the last two months.
Amen
I am an atheist and I usually do not like comments like these. However this one seems good-natured and wholehearted. Good job.
Amen
Thank you for your prayer!
Both of my grandmothers passed away this month and it’s just been funerals and sadness and I’ve just just been walking around a little drunk and I stumble upon this video and drop to my knees and cry. I’ve been holding everything in and for some reason this song just made me let everything out. RIP Grandma. RIP Grammy. I should’ve visited you both more and I’m sorry I didn’t
I’m 24 years old. Coming Home is the greatest album released in my lifetime, and River is the greatest song. God bless Leon Bridges
one of my favorite songs of all time…beautiful in every way.
For sure
Yes yes
+M. Baffa
in my life
+Talia Parmer Yeah, finally a good song in this decade, and OBVIUSLY, stupid people was gonna dislike it -.-
I love this song. It resonates w me on all levels. It makes me cry ..weep..n smile each time I listen to it.
This song is like warm honey. It soothes the soul.
Elizabeth Jones one of the best explainations I've read
Elizabeth Jones completely disagree... 👿🤦♂️
Hello Elizabeth! What other music you like?
hummmm
Elizabeth Jones please i have no soul. * devil laughs in the background.
I know you probably wont find this, but when i was in the hospital, Mr. Sam, you played this. It was soothing like a salve on a burn, and im thankful you showed me it. Thank you Mr. Sam.
There was a comment a long time ago on this video where someone's parent came to listen to another similar song and found this one after they passed and it helped. I think about your child everytime I listen to this song.
me too! that comment made me cry everytime.
I'm speechless. This video added another layer to what was already an incredible piece of art
+Mo David 100%
Beautiful
+shay131702 yes just BEATIFUL I AGREE
I agree
You couldn't have put that any better!
Random find . . . Shook up a part of me I thought was dead. Made me stand up, shoulders straight and throw my head back and "wonder" again. Thank you so much for this.
K. Dunagan what do you mean?
life is an adventure that we all slack on at some points,,then elements like this song reconnect the dots
"Shook up a part of me I thought was dead." Me too. Caught myself stretching my arms to the sky.
orhema oluga
Well said!!
I swear I put my hands to the sky too, and that is NOT me. So powerful. I had tears in my eyes and in my soul.
I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this song❤
😊xxx
Please pray for my sister 🙏 she needs your energy
Something about this song has made this comment section a real therapy session and I see so much support from everyone. It’s really a beautiful thing and as humans we should always support each other and lift one another up and not knock each other down. Thank you to all of you for being great in your own way and being supportive to people that you don’t even know. We should all be proud.
Just thinking the same thing
I just think gods presence hit these people like it did with me I felt like I could her god I god chills these thoughts that were telling these butitifull thoughts happed it's hard to explain
Facts
💕💕
@Bobby D same back at you Bruddah much love peace health and happiness... to all of us
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.
God loves you man.
Its about hope, that GOD gives...
That's All
That's the only feeling I trust. This world is not by chance neither are you.
GET CLOSE TO THE LORD MAN, He loves you more than you can fathom.
Really ?
My ex girlfriend showed me this song. We were coming back from the water park in the dells and on our way back to Illinois, we were playing music. Well she wanted to look up a song and she played this. The sun was setting & idk the vibe was just perfect, felt peaceful & everything in that moment was beautiful. We are obviously no longer together. she may have left my life, but this song will forever be with me ❤️🩹😕 I miss her like crazy and whenever I think about her I play this song, wishing I could get that specific moment back when I first heard this song 😔
I liked that, thanks for sharing
I have loved this song since it came out and it always resonated with because of my past and remembering spending 16 and a half years in prison for murder after I defended myself against a man who was bigger and 17 years my senior in a drunken state. I struggled for many years in finding a way from such deep darkness. And finding a way down the road of redemption. I learned the value of a life and learning what it means to a true believer of the word of God. But this song hits me so much harder after watching the horrific videos from Memphis because I don’t think anyone can believe there is hope in humanity. We are lost as a civilization and humans and God is coming. He is next to God and his angel and messenger. May he rest in heavenly peace.
Not the tune we arrested looking for !
Lulu,I’m lost as usual so i😅will keep trying Thanks
What’s going on
?
Music that comes out of black culture reaches this deep, intimate part of the southern soul. Imagine how much of this beauty I would miss if I was a racist. This song touches me.
agreed
Bless you ❤
Not all music that comes from black culture is like this though lol, in fact the blues is dying sadly because of black culture.
@@lavas732 how so?
@@lavas732 black culture with 99% white audience how about whites stop buying tickets
This song makes me think about the person I wanna become one day, I hope I can be proud of her at some point...
Luana Pires ... you are that person already. Songs like this, if they resonate with you, ARE you. they are a mirror. be proud now, of who you are. Don't wait for 'one day.' You're there now. You are more precious than you know.
@@cialozier thank you so much for your words, they really help!
@@cialozier No lie I needed to hear that. Thank you so much. Keep being a fantastic human and I hope we'll all do the same
Can't be proud of the result if you are not proud of the journey 🙌🏾💗
@@TayRivers222 it depends on perspective. results are outcomes/consequences/lessons learned. maybe proud isn't the exact word. content may be a better one. if one is content with where one is (not focused on where one has been; that is the past and unchangeable, and is just a foundation for the place where one is; which is way more significant than where one has been), then let oneself bask in the light that shines through and in our imperfect selves. we've all made, make, and will continue to make mistakes. to stay mired in the memory of it doesn't help anything. to consciously be better now is a possibility and a reality, if one is willing to gift onself with it.
This song is so deep... Im feel so alone, so much pain inside, I miss my girl and would like to return the past. I can't leave it alone and continue to go. Always crying with this song, it reminds me of blessed times when we were togather happy, when I feel loved.
Always come back here to receive my piece of nostalgia about blessed times in my life
Thank you Leon Bridges, God bless you
This resonated with me in 2020 when ny dad passed. It resonated when I found my daughter's classmate dying from gunshot wounds. And resonated when my 17yr old passed in October. There is something about being baptized in the River of Christian that keeps me going ❤ Pray for Anna and Tyquan ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. 🙏🏾 may you continue to find peace each day
It made me cry did anyone else cry?
Oh trust, I did!!
+Jamie lewis damn right....i cried a 'river'
this made me cry i just love how this song shows meanings about life

WHy can't talented songwriters and musicians like this fill the Top 40?
Eric Hanaway insert Kanye quote here
He should be number 1. Pure skill.
Well, he just got a Grammy nomination for this video, so there's hope.
I feel you Eric,,,this is wonderful music.
cause top 40 is full of shit
This song is just... everything. I fell in love with this when I heard him sing on SNL years ago before he was popular. One of the best to do it IMO.
This song has me so emotional right now and I don’t know why. Reading the comments I feel everyone is on that same page. Thank you for this song.
heard this song come out the first hour and that's when one of my ex broke up with me, this made me look forward the future
one of your ex lol??/
orhema oluga lol one of my EX'S lmfao
damn son

Thank you Leon for bringing this music to us.
If I'm still around 20 years from now, I know I'll still be listening✌🏿
I love this song bc it reminds me of how much water and consciousness are intertwined. I get to hang on to moments of clarity just long enough for me to make incremental changes to get closer to loving my whole Self. 💜💞🌱
This might be one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
i concur.
It's up there for sure
Indeed,This song is very “Moving “ God bless him for that song and I am going to thank you for your post.❤
This song speaks to my soul
Thank you for sharing it
Definitely x
I lost my mom a few months ago and we loved to listen to this song together. Now that I don't have her to listen to it with I sing it to her in the sky. I love you mom.
I’m so Sorry may you please find peace♥️
so sorry for your loss Austin,what a special song.
May she rest in peace sorry for your loss
This song helped me alot with my mom passing , it's only been 8 months since she's has left , it was a actual a sign for me letting me know she was passing , she was in coma , found this song the same week she got her wings ,Hope you find peace ,
she os with you
The comments alone are making me cry... what a beautiful song!
I honestly did not go around looking, this song came to me, sending a strong message and I'm glad I got to listen, hear, understand and believe. Amen
i remember playing this song every morning when i was going thru a bad time my body was tired and my mind had drifted but my soul was content when i played this and it gave me hope it was like kneeling next to an angel it gave me the strength to move on
John 10:10 I hope you find everlasting peace. :)
this is such a beautiful comment and feeling. :)
amon tri same with me
Im currently going through that. My mind and soul feel so far apart right now, I have no clue what my future will hold right now. This song will forever be my six-minute-sanctuary.
I love how he actually has his actual backup singer in the music video
She's very important to him, it seems. He doesn't perform his music without her, that I've seen.
Brian Benavidez I've noticed that too
I believe they actually were friends before all of this.
They've been riding together since the beginning. She is as much "Leon Bridges" as he is.
Nosidam Y. If he actually is riding his actual backing singer and she's like, actually in the music video. Then she is actually like most famous female musicians; she must be actually good at giving actual head. Actually.
I’m only hearing your graceful voice today and I feel like I’ve been robbed not knowing you existed for all these years! Keep touching peoples souls and always sing!
this song reaches inside my chest, crushes my soul, and puts it back together better than it was.
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.
I recommend to you In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Dr Gabor Maté. It may help you understand some things. I wish you love and strength
i am so sorry.i can't even imagine the pain.may he rest in peace and may God give you strength.deepest condolences from france.
I’m so sorry for your loss. 😔
I'm sorry for your loss 💞
You're in my prayers tonight
“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

Thanks.
.
Beautiful
I need this
Yes thank you
Heard Leon’s music in the movie Concussion and can’t stop listening to him ever since. What a blinding talent he is. His music brings tears to my eyes with that beautiful soulful voice. Thank you Leon Jackie ❤
This song helped me find myself in new motherhood and postpartum depression. It represents being born anew and starting life as a completely different person with a new life in your hands. It was a blessing to me in many ways ❤
Sweet, loving hugs to you new Mama. You aren’t alone ❤️
"Surrender to The Good Lord and he'll wipe your slate clean" - love this verse
Very underrated words.
I won't lie i didn't believe in God I struggled...head this song and read these comments. I wanna go....
@@Nadiyah2002 I would recommend you read The gospels then the 1st and 2nd chapters of Acts. Repent and commit to Christ. His forgiveness and love is here even admist our failures. God bless you !
Even though I’ve distanced myself from machine that is the Church. These words resonate with my soul so heavily 💗
It's useless. The music is good but the verse is pap
The Voice brought me here. What an amazing song. Why did I not hear this before. Awesome!
Omg 😮 the voice brought me here too!!! And this show called all American!!!!!!!
Me too😎
thats what im saying this song and his voice is amazinggggg
Nah - bu thanks for replying @6ix Nin9
Me too
This song is the epitome of the perfect modern acoustic guitar song. Simple chords and note progression, tied to the depths of the soul in the history of the river metaphor in song and literature as a sign of rebirth and dedication to the giver of life. Leon Bridges simplifies it with this beautiful song with soul felt rhythms. Who doesn't "Want to know", "Take me to your river...I want to go".
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
He got the ancestors singing through his soul.... such empathy and pain in his voice ❤❤❤
Yesssssss its so soul wow
This song really found me in the midst of my darkness, I was crying when i heard this and had not a clue as to why. I had abandoned my relationship with Christ and completely denied Him while i was out getting caught up in the world, Little did i know those tears was God speaking to my heart. Several months later and i gave my life back over to Christ. Coming back to this song and really seeing what it was, God is so amazing and REAL. Jesus is calling out for all of us to return to Him and surrender our own ways of thinking. This world wont last much longer and the only way to ETERNAL life is through Him. Give your life to Him today, Have a heart to heart with Him, and he will surely guide you the way. God bless you all❤️
Beautiful ❤
Amen.....I feel this....even as I struggle right now in my relationship with The Savior....but I do recognize and acknowledge him as such....I pray that I answer my calling in being the elected of God and having my name in the Lambs Book of Life
@@MrJnx713 May God bless your journey, a willing heart is all it takes🤍☺️
Amen 🙏
Literally me rn
Not many songs have brought me to tears but sweet holy lord this is angelic.
Good lord 🙌🏻 give us the strength !
This is one of those songs that actually makes you feel something. I dance with my sons to it tears running down my face for absolutely no reason. Thank you for this song
I cry too...witness the pain of mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters going through life...Jesus please return NOW
Yup crying rn. So real
Looking at you makes,me,feel,something
Anthony Sanders ha ha Jesus. Good one
Mama just did the same thing with my 11 month old daughter. It's like I know I but I don't know why. Beautiful vibes.
this moved me, just as much as when I first heard Change Gonna Come, Sam Cooke.
tears in my eyes
Amazing. I got chills listening to this and watching the stunning visuals.
Exorcism Official spectacular!
I was a first responder for a little while before college. Some things I saw forever changed me, and sometimes a song like this will make those things come up and it moves me to tears. I was 17-18 then. Yet at 28 it’s still so fresh.
I can’t even imagine some of the horrible things you had to see. I could never do that type of work it would break me. I already suffer with depression, anxiety, PTSD, AdD & agoraphobia.
Ty for all the lives you touched!!Im sorry for the bad things u had to see I can’t even imagine ,I truly see people like u as hero’s tho because you touch so many lives in there time of need !
Been singing this song since it came out. I sang it out loud while I was pregnant with my two boys, while my oldest would be in the other room. Now I when I play it all 3 of my sons just go silent and enjoy it with me. My 10 year old reminds me of the days singing it while I folded laundry. Still brings a tear to my eye
Why does it bring a tear to your eye?
I got baptized earlier tonight. And just discovered this song. Amazing how God speaks to us. Thank you Jesus 🙏🙏
Best of wishes on your journey of His Love brother
Congrats! 😊
Amen
Wut?
😂😂😂😂 you actually think that God recommended this song for you ?? I’m sorry but no, RUclips has a recommendation system based on your Google searches. Thank you 😊
I was so worried about the music video for this song as it is my favorite song but I'm so happy the video was awesome
+BryantStanfield I know, right?
+BryantStanfield the song sucks, so does the music video for it.
+Regular Rock then go listen to your rock or whatever crap genre you like. :-)
+Regular Rock
fool
+Regular Rock at least this song has a meaning of some sort
This song hit hard. I miss my brother. I wish I could just hug him one last time.
Thanks Ye for this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I lost my younger brother this summer. Investigation ongoing. But he would have loved this song. We lived by a river and would look at the stars, we also grew up on spirituals which is what this song reminds me of. We were babysat at times by a woman who by the end of her life had 26 grandkids, but she always asked about me and my brother, she’s gone he’s gone so many gone. I’m still dealing with it every day. Dreams and visions and seeing things. It’s a lot. I love this song. It’s very cathartic. Lotsa tears every time I listen. Thank you for making soul enveloping music. Lots of memories flood back to me.
I am sorry for your loss. My peace be with you and your family.
I've been struggling with depression for the longest time. This song gives me some hope. I still cry every time I hear it
Keep your head up! It will get better!
I appreciate this!!
What happens sister, why are you depressed? if you wanna tell us...
This song and specially this comment section makes me cry, and that's such a hard thing for me to achieve.. I live in pain since I was a little child, I think since the first moments I can remember because I felt rejected from the start and I've been rejecting myself and others in some way or another all this time and even tho I've done many things to heal and went through different stages in my life I can't help but keep feeling rejected
It's beautiful to learn about others pains for me... makes me cry
I’ve been struggling with depression for a long time tooo. I’m crying as I listen to this
Praying for me, you and everyone to get out of it and everyone in this comment section healing because lord do we need the angle touch on our shoulder🤍
Stay strong. Only life we got.
Always come back. It makes me feel back at home, with my grandad my dad mom all of my cousins at those family gatherings… Makes me cry.
Gods in this song 🦁🙏🌎🕊️🔥
I didn't know Leon, this song just randomly appeared on my RUclips autoplay during work... I had to stop to carefully listen to it. So powerful, so beautiful. Love at first "hearing" you might say
same for me!
+Raela Snell
sorry mistake
There is no doubt this music speaks
sad, this song will probably never be played on any national radio station, when I feel people need this.
alicia gannon He played at the Grammys last year, and for President Obama. He's been popular, you gotta catch up!!
Wes Olley hey, don't tell me how to live my life! 😛
alicia gannon 😜😜 you should check out Lee Fields and the Expressions too! Same type of music :)
Ha! I haven't listened to a national radio station in god knows how long... years at least. I feel a majority of people are now in tune with modern technology and can find themselves here unexpectedly via computer as I did.
alicia gannon Sirius is national radio station
My daughter was stillborn yesterday. I came here.
❤❤❤ May the lord lift you in his arms up off the ground, where I know you've been laying in sorrow and may he show you his path that he has planned for you. In Jesus name amen
Bless you. ❤
Awe gosh, God does love the Little ones
Love and light.🕊❤️
We surround you with love right now ♥️🙏🏾
I lost my first and only child before even giving birth last year and this song - I don't know why - reminds me of her. I never got to meet her but, I knew she was a baby girl. This music touchs my soul.
Since River is released as a single I am expecting it to clean up at the Grammys 2017
1)Best Gospel Song
2)Best Gospel Performance
3)Song of the Year
+Khesanio Moon let's focus on him winning best new artist this year first lol
That was the hope but unfortunately he got snubbed in that category. Rooting for him to win best R&B album though. Based on the other nominees he has a good shot.
+Khesanio Moon I think his sound is too dated to be considered for best Song of the Year. This song woulda been legendary in the 70's or 80's but today music is so much different. I mean I love him and artists like Raphael Sadiq but they seem to have been born in the wrong era. I hope this song gets huge but with the say music is sounding, its gonna be hard. But its possible. Fingers crossed
+Khesanio Moon If you listen to the lyrics, you'll find that this is not a Gospel song by any stretch of the imagination. It's about being in love with someone, but having a dark past that causes you to put up a shield. I find it so funny when people mistake songs with religious undertones as being literal Christian songs, like Halellejuah sung by Jeff Buckley. Lovely song about King David, right? Wrong, it's entirely a song endorsing "fornication."
+Paige Wilson With respect, your analysis of the song is incorrect. Leon explained the meaning of the song in an interview with GQ. Look up " GQ The Story Behind the Song 'River' " he specifically says this song is about turning to God in a desperate time of need. So the song's message is exactly what it sounds like.
I wish there were more musicians out there like Leon Bridges. This kind of music is just good for the soul.
Leon Bridges is truly one of kind, especially in this time period.
bom 6
Yup
You should check out Michael Kiwanuka
check out benjamin booker, alabama shakes and shaky graves
This album was released when I was in 7th Grade. I went to boarding school and one of our dorm advisors would wake us up singing this song as he knocked on our doors while strolling down the hallway. He wasn’t a bad singer. Good memories, good song!
Losing people is hard.. his words ate my soul
I found this song by mistake, a let me tell you, is one of the best mistake that I ever made.
Me too
✔️
It's Destiny...not a mistake😉
I Swea I Did Too 🤣🤣 Shii Crazy I Love It Doe‼️💯💪🏿🙏🏿
Aye men
Is weird that this song made me feel some type of way in my heart.. Great song we definitely need more artist like this
This song makes me feel some kind of absolute peace despite the chaos in my mind where only I can go !
This is so raw and real. It is a prayer, worship and love song all in one. So beautiful and naked.
