“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!”

Today, these young vocalists are reminding us of God’s peace and comfort with a special rendition of ‘Down To the River To Pray.’
“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”
Lydia, Isabel, and Lyla O. are members of the Rise UP Children's Choir. The choir is open to kids age 6 through 18 and they perform songs from every genre of music.
On their website, the mission statement is described. “Every child is born with talents and passions.
