Yes, I was a nonbeliever for over 53 years. Every time that the spirit got close to me I become emotional. Finally I gave up running, I let the spirit inside my heart. I will never be the same again. I have never been this happy, this relaxed, and this confident without needing any pride. May God Bless You Friend.....
Oh my God- literally. This is pure religion, free of pretense, transcending cultural and racial boundaries. We've got to get back to this ground of Christian being. I wept for most of this performance.
I am 57 years old. My Father lived to be 88 and my Mother is 91 years in a nursing home. I was taken to Church when I was old enough to be taken as a child. I wish everybody in this world would pray where at the River or not !!!! I Pray you all get to know God cause he is coming back to take his world over I am ready or you
I just love old gospel music,I'm 45 yrs old and I remember as a child at 3 yrs old and sitting with my great grandparents in church,what a blessing it was.Power in the blood of the lamb,that old rugged cross and several more.I sure miss them days,my life was at so much peace,no stress at all.
This is a gospel song we can sing without a second thought. Somehow the words come to you. For those non believers that somehow are moved, this is how we know that God is with us. Remember that you can be a believer even on death bed. All you have to do is ask God for his forgiveness. By sake of Jesus Christ we are forgiven sinners.
Her and Gillian welch just smashed that soundtrack on o bother where art thou. Those songs, including this, have hymn like qualities. Such beautiful sound haven't heard its equal since.
I just needed like 10% on this that’s it. I’ve heard people gospel/blues this out too much and it loses the somber texture that makes it so powerful, but I just wanted a pinchhh more fire and soul maybe on that last or second to last verse. Still so great though regardless. 🔥 ❤️
This is my favorite version of this song, there could not be a better setting or better choral backup. Absolutely beautiful. You must die and hear the angel's to hear anything more beautiful.
She has been blessed with such a beautiful voice,God bless her......we on the other hand have been blessed by hearing her wonderful voice,God bless us....
I hope the angels are singing this with my dad, brother,husband I lost and now my beautiful cat I had to have put to sleep yesterday.Bless you Holly, my angel
God Bless you Allison that's a beautiful gospel song an you sing it so well ! One of my many favorites ! Choir sounded great also ! God Bless them all !
I still remember going down to the lake in Virginia to watch the baptisms. It seemed so amazing back then. It's not quite the same these days. In the church. In a nice clean warm baptismal. A little something seems lost. Maybe the humbling experience of wading out into that cold impure water.. I haven't seen that in nearly 35 years. Seems a lifetime ago.
Ever since being a kid I always respected and had a crush on Alison.She is just a beautiful person inside and out.She autograpghed my aunts violin and spent almost 20 mins talking with her about music.Unlike todays holloywood and most music ....Their is nothing fake about Alison Krauss. Anytime I feel sad I listen to this song and im not even a very religious person.
She's smart, and much more creative than she gives herself credit for. She listens, then offers just the right voice. Her adaptability, and evolving versatility is nothing short of impressive.
The first time I heard this song was when my Church choir sang it in service. I fell in love with this song on that day, & I love every version I've heard so far.
She looks, sounds so childlike... Praises, purifying A time not too long ago I'd sit next to a rushing creek here It's as if...the sound of the creek could speak. I used to walk that old creek as a young one, when it froze. Colorado can get brutally frigid!! I praise my/our Creator, & the gift of life. Been a very long hard journey to endure for 69 years. I know the Spirit Guides have guarded me well. I have faith & hope - tends to waxe & wane. ( liking this Holly Tanglebrain) I sincerely appreciate the genuineness of Ms. KRAUSE. UA-cam has become thoroughly uncomfortable for me. I found it healing, soothing now it is a nightmare, tis no longer healing. I wish you all only the best! I believe my stalker is attempting to end my life soon. I just needed to SHARE! OM 🕉
I'm sittin' at home watching the Color Purple and listening to the tune "God Is Trying To Tell You Something" and I see this wonderful rendition of Down To The River To Pray...LOVE it with this Gospel Choir too. And whether it have a Blue Grass Soul or this version more true to the original Slave song...I love it all!!!
I think this is one of those songs that you will always remember where you were when you first heard it. I know.. cause I went and bought the CD that day.
You just made my day! I think that feeling is divinity filling you up to bursting. You can't contain the joy and wonder and it releases cathartically as tears. I'm a spiritual guy, but I cry when I hear her sing too. God is within brother and it resonates when we hear divine music like this. Your tears are proof. Go share your light with the world!
My understanding is this a song of slaves hoping to escape to the northern US via the underground railroad. Special story. Many Americans do not know that some escaped slaves made their way further north into Eastern Canada. So it was with our neighbors. Jefferson and Ruby moved 3 houses down from us when I was about 17. Jefferson was an energetic character. I still remember his gold and red jacket. His pride possession was a large Ford truck. As we became more familiar, my family learned that his great grandmother was an escaped slave. She made her way north, eventually ending up in Eastern Canada. When I hear this song, I think of them.

God bless you Thomas.. I've done my own running brother.
@@Odo-so8pj Thank you Tammy, its nice to know I'm not alone. Ain't our new life cool !!
So beautifully said Thomas. You moved me.
Love this🙏 God will be w you now, forever♥️😘😘😘
Allison Krauss is proof angels walk on earth. Can you imagine how many hearts her singing has healed?
God heals hearts,
How many hearts she has brought to the Lord? 😁
When my neighbors are screaming at one another, which is often, I stand on the deck and sing this, among other hymns, loudly. They usually calm down.
That’s kinda hilarious and also awesome
😂🤣
I'll never get tired of hearing Alison sing this.
Such a beautiful clear voice
My favorite female vocalist no doubt. Just awesome. I love her, Ricky Scaggs, and Vince Gill singing High on That Mountain.
Vince Gill has the voice of Angel ❤
Hearing Allison sing this hymn NEVER fails to bring chills to my spine.
Oh my God- literally. This is pure religion, free of pretense, transcending cultural and racial boundaries. We've got to get back to this ground of Christian being. I wept for most of this performance.
I hope when I die that the angels sing as beautiful as Alison Krauss!
Amen
What Angels
As I said in a reply to a previous post: Oh, come on. They're only angels.
The angels WILL sing as well as AK.
Can the one who made the eye see? Can the one who made the ear hear?
This song always gives me goose bumps.

I actually feel the spirit descending upon me when I hear this song! Cleanses my soul. Love it!
The lady is a class act with tons of talent.

She sings the universal religion of Spirit and touches us all with her pure voice.
Hallelujah lets use this to edify one another in Jesus name!
you're a sap
AMEN Sabine!!!

Alison is one Dynamic Voice. I could listen to her forever.
i’ve never really been a religious person but everytime i hear this song it brings me to full on tears. ♥️
Moved by the Holy Spirit. Religious or not...HE is still surrounding you with love and light.
Me too
This isn't even singing. It's magic.
Yes♥️♥️😘

It's just not fair that one human should be so beautiful and talented.
Somebody had to get it and Alison was ready and waiting and she has not disappointed at any time
This is my favorite version of this song, there could not be a better setting or better choral backup. Absolutely beautiful. You must die and hear the angel's to hear anything more beautiful.
Classic. Alison....voice of an angel. Very few as talented as she.
Alison Krauss is a beautiful human being in every way possible.
Man, isn't that the truth! The light and goodness just radiates off her in waves.
I just love Alison Krauss, her voice is simply beautiful
She has been blessed with such a beautiful voice,God bless her......we on the other hand have been blessed by hearing her wonderful voice,God bless us....
I hope the angels are singing this with my dad, brother,husband I lost and now my beautiful cat I had to have put to sleep yesterday.Bless you Holly, my angel
A beautiful country hymn by the lovely Alison Krauss. What an Angelic voice. Thank you Alison....

I was baptized in a holiday inn swimming pool,that's where the church I attended held thier services
Alison Krauss is one of my all time favourite singers!! She's magnificent!!
best voice in country and blue grass music
I LOVE Gospel ensembles- it takes so much work to blend so richly behind such a delicate Voice;and I think they did an awesome job!
May America go down to the river to pray
Love it Thank You Jesus Christ Who is God !!!!!!!!!!!!
who's jesus??
Alison is a super-wonderful interpretation!
I like how they are singing this song together. Moving in a soothing way
the beauty of her music never ends we all are so grateful for her music
One of my favs! A rare treasure...a way fine gem!
Oh my...oh my!!! Chills up and down every time she sings!!! :-)
The Lord calls us.

totally taken by her voice..her work with Robert Plant was beyond sublime!!
She's smart, and much more creative than she gives herself credit for. She listens, then offers just the right voice.
Her adaptability, and evolving versatility is nothing short of impressive.
Alison Krauss is such a uniquely talented artist. So glad I found this one, and thank you for posting it!!
beezzzzbuuzzzz I wish I could thank her, and that gospel choir, for singing this song.
Beautiful. Brilliant solo artist and fantastic choir.
Very Correct :)
When I hear something as beautiful as gospel ,I think what has Islam got to offer humanity in the way of love and hope.
What a GOD given voice... like an angel...
Wish so much I could pray and believe like this again
me too
Best live version I’ve heard!
The voice of an angel. She warms my heart.
Wow what a beautiful song and the choir behind,wow just wow!
My childhood song. I love this song so much. I was about six and would sing my heart out to this song. Best part of Brother where are thou.
She sings amazing! We are singing this song for a concert in choir so good
The first time I heard this song was when my Church choir sang it in service. I fell in love with this song on that day, & I love every version I've heard so far.
The most beautiful voice god gave

Nobody sings this classic like she does
This is the good Lord at work, that is what Allison Krauss is all about. She is as humble as they come.
I know what heaven sounds like! Just bought my front row ticket! Amen
Love this song so much!!! And by the way...Who else got this from "O' brother where art thou?"
+TheAdvancedGuild /Knine/Mario/1crafter Didn't everybody ?
Good point!
I think this is one of those songs that you will always remember where you were when you first heard it. I know.. cause I went and bought the CD that day.
One of my favourites from a wonderful artist!
Im not sure if heaven and angels exist but if they do they sound like this when they sing. Beautiful.
Beautiful, moving your spirit.
Reminds me of every sweet beautiful melancholy Christian I ever knew, sad in the short run, joyful in the long run.
IT GETS BETTER EVERY TIME I HEAR IT
I love this song
LOVE IT! SO SMOOTH and with a real message!
another stunning performance, you can sing anything and type of music, bravo
I could listen to this everyday ❤️🌹🙏🏻
Beautiful music for the soul.
Just finished watching A Handmaid's Tale....was touched by this song😚
Oh my my my, good Lord show me the way.
I believe must've like this with voices like this is getting near the quality of music we will be playing on the jukebox in Heaven with Jesus.
I love this beautiful song
How Sweet is this!
I'm an atheist, and an avowed black-hearted cynic. But I ain't gonna lie. I cried when I heard this.
Good for you. Music is infectious with love and prayer, just as with this song.
Same here, but this rendition of this song is absolutely beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Let's go brothers down to the river to pray.
Wow! An this is just all them! Not an instrument but those voices lead by the Amazing Alison Kraus! ❤️❤️❤️
It is so pure and so much better without any electricized instruments clouding the flow of spirit.
So Beautifull AMEN
Love this song, played recently at the close of Bruce's The River concert. Beautiful....

Gospel still has the spirit.
truly angelic voice, I hope she reaches her heaven when her time comes, she lead the choir
