One of my favorite songs. This moves me to my core. How does this sing make you feel when you hear it? Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to this music.
First off, I wanna dedicate this song to my new found financial freedom, therefore I just paid off my house in full earlier this year at the age of 40 years old, and I'm now rejoicing by way of crying sweet tears of joy. So it looks like I had crossed over those many rivers of financial debt & a lot of other things that was known to hold me back, and for that I've finally found my way over to be at a much greater peace in my life. Thank you Jesus, my prayers have been answered. And all is right in my life.
Send your thanks to *Jimmy Cliff* for writing and first performing this song for his 1973 *Jamaican* movie *"The Harder, They Come"* .... *Oleta* did a masterful job on this rendition though👍
This is a beautiful song as people we cross many rivers in life some of them full of crocodiles but our God let us through as you grow up you discover that there are many rivers to cross to your success
Thanks to the *Great Jamaican Jimmy Cliff* for writing and recording this song for his 1973 movie *Harder They Come.* I liked this rendition just as much as the original.....🤔
@@kingnaldo4058 Yeah, me too! I once heard a version that was very upbeat. Like looking forward to each river, Haven't been able to find it again. Years ago I was at a small venue where Cliff performed. You could get within a few feet of him on the stage. He was maybe 50 but had the energy of a 25 year old!
@@Docinaplane Yup and imagine *Jimmy Cliff* is still performing this song well into his 70's. The man is full of energy. Please watch Jimmy Cliff performance of this song in his movie *"Harder They Come"* an emotional scene, when the struggles of life hits him, without anyone to help him.... The same emotions depicted in *Jason's Lyric* movie 21 years later in 1994.....👍
God will give us strength, please don't claim, many more trails, we do have trails, but God has delivered us from them, In Jesus Blesseth name AMEN. Psalms 34;4 I sought the Lord,and he heard me, and deliver me from all my fears. KJV. Peace be still. Mark 4;39. Jesus said.
Damn! I never thought I find someone doing as good a job of this song as the original singer, my country man, the incomparable Jimmy Cliff!, from the Soundtrack, The Harder They Come. You go Ms. Adam's with your bad-!self! Love it!
'On the same page'... 'Life is really simple.. But we insist on making it complicated '.....!!!! Simple 'Love, Respect & Peace'... To all the dark hearts in this world..
Beautiful ‘many rivers to cross’ of the one and only Lady Oleta Adams that goes straight to my ❤️ and soul. Bless you all who reads this comment; we still have many rivers to cross in 2021🙏
I first listened to this song when I was still a teen back in 1990s, and I can well say that Oleta wasn't just singing the song but she sang herself out.
When I hear this I wanna watch Jason lyric cause this song was playing when he got on the bus and was leaving for good love that movie and love this song
Man, I lost my grandmother last year July 29th, 2019, and a host of family members after. This song hits harder than I imagine sometimes. Just come to listen because it was on one of my favorite movies; yet, I always end up shed a tear or two thinking about those I’ve lost along the way.
I felt this song so much when i heard it this song gives me so much courage when i feel down n feel like giving up i always refuse to give up as long as i got king jesus in my life
I love this song so much I lost my two brothers an a year ago I lost my parents back to back.an every time I listen to this song I just cry but Im still trying to cross these rivers but i know God gt me.beautiful song many rivers to cross but I just can't find my way over.
I just wish she had recorded more, and maybe had different management. She had one of the best voices of the 20th century for sure, but she never really found a niche or became a big star. "Get Here" was her only hit, and she was capable of so much more. Sadly she can't sing like this anymore, but what a magnificent instrument she had!
It reminds me of my grandpa, and my Aunts who passed away I Miss them so much R. I. P grandpa and Aunties I Love and Miss you guys soo much until we meet again 😭😢❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️💔❤️❤️❤️
I believe this song is about African people's plight in history and still today, but I'm listening to it today as last night I had a dream that I crossed two small rivers, later on in the dream I came back that way but there was a flood and a wolf led me through maybe my spirit guide, hope so as I've had dogs for 34 years and there my favourite thing in life
@@TriciasList long story Trish me and the hounds of love, we'll talk about it one dark night round the dying embers of a fire while someone sings a low lament and the long walk is over
If you've never cried before, I suggest playing this song on an all day repeat. I guarantee you won't make it past the first play without shedding a tear....😭 This song is the soundtrack for the continued struggles of our people through racial discrimination and injustices that our people continues to bare. But one day our people will be free....😢
@@TriciasList thank you so much. I'm doing well. I feel my grandma's love all over me, and she's inspiring me to be a better me. I know she's watching and helping guide me through this life, and I feel that our separation is only temporary. 💯😊🌹❤😇😪🥰
Here are the lyrics I dont own them Many rivers to cross But I can't seem to find my way over Wandering I am lost As I travel along white cliffs of Dover Many rivers to cross And it's only my will that keeps me alive I've been licked, washed up for years And I merely survive because of my pride And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's such a drag to be on your own My baby left me and he didn't say why Well I guess I'll have to try Many rivers to cross But just where to begin I'm playing for time There have been times I find myself thinking of committing Some dreadful crime I've got many rivers to cross But I can't seem to find my way over Wandering I am lost As I travel along white cliffs of Dover
Thanks to the *Great Jamaican Jimmy Cliff* for writing and recording this song for his 1973 movie *Harder They Come.* I liked this rendition just as much as the original.....🤔
She has such an amazing beautiful voice. I love this song so much. I listen to this song to help me with my depression. I sometimes feel I have many rivers to cross and can't seem to find my way over. I hope I can cross those rivers soon. I have been trying to cross these rivers for years. I started crossing a river towards something positive and don't know if I made it across that river yet or not. I know I am only half way across.
Check the original in the soundtrack The Harder They Come (1972- no I'mnot that old. The movie happens to be one of my Mom's favorite and she watches it when she's homesick.) where Jimmy Cliff does this and some other serious Reggae tunes.

The voice is mesmerizing, I listen to this song everyday before going to bed
I met Oleta when she entertained at Sheraton Hotel in Gothenburg, before she got known. Lovely woman, we had coffees and walks several times

I always listen to this song...it moves my soul!
@@TriciasList .It moves my soul to.💕
Here are the lyrics
I dont own them
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My baby left me and he didn't say why
Well I guess I'll have to try
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin
I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself thinking of committing
Some dreadful crime
I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along white cliffs of Dover
This always reminds me to be strong in all I do. Love this song!
❤️
Listening to this during the pandemic really hits me hard.
I think it will always be a beautiful song of meaning for me.
Make me think about my grandma smh😢😭
This song has a way of bringing memories
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss cousins , daddy, aunties, too 😭
