Hallelujah on the River Road (Gospel-Blues & Chor)
I walked the River Road at sunrise,
saw the light break through the pines.
Felt the shadows fall behind me,
heard the choir in my mind.
Every step was heavy sorrow,
every mile a memory—
but the morning wind was singing
like it came to set me free.
Lead: Hallelujah on the River Road!
Choir: Hallelujah, let it flow!
Lead: Lift me up from all my burdens—
Choir: Let the healing waters roll!
Lead: Hallelujah on the River Road—
Choir: Hallelujah, loud and bold!
Lead + Choir: When the blues come creeping in,
the Lord will carry your soul.
Met a preacher down in Jackson,
robe of cotton, voice of gold.
He said, “Child, the road is narrow,
but the truth is good to hold.”
He stomped his foot in rhythm,
and the choir raised their hands—
and the river sang beside us
like it knew the promised land.
Lead: Oh, can you feel that spirit rising?
Choir: Rising strong, rising high!
Lead: Can you hear redemption calling?
Choir: Calling loud across the sky!
Lead: Oh Lord, we walk together—
Choir: Never alone, never denied!
Lead: Let the blues be washed forever—
Choir: River take ‚em with the tide!
Lead: Hallelujah on the River Road!
Choir: Hallelujah, let it flow!
Lead: Lift me up from all my burdens—
Choir: Let the healing waters roll!
Lead: Hallelujah on the River Road—
Choir: Hallelujah, loud and bold!
Lead + Choir: When the blues come creeping in,
the Lord will carry your soul.
Choir: Hallelujah… Hallelujah…
Lead (soft): Down the River Road I wander,
with a lighter, blessed load—
and the angels keep on singing
on that golden River Road.
