about

"I wanted to record this song for my new nephew, Colin. At its core, this song speaks of community and the fact that that community can and should be centered around our faith. I wanted Colin to know that he is entering this world already surrounded by a community of believers who will love and support him always."

-Rebecca Westwick

lyrics

CHORUS
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way

O sisters let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O sisters let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

CHORUS

O brothers let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
Come on brothers let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

CHORUS

O fathers let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O fathers let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

CHORUS

O mothers let's go down,
Let's go down, don't you want to go down,
Come on mothers let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

CHORUS

O sinners let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O sinners let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.
