Deep River

"Deep River", African-American Spiritual, arr. Allan Bevan, performed by the Contemporary Choir of the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Baltimore. The yearning optimism that inspired all spirituals is evident here, where the deep river of life is all that stands between us and the kingdom of heaven. This song can remind us of the sacramental power of our baptisms and is shown in this video with photos from the cathedral's baptistery.

Deep river, my home is over Jordan.
Deep river, Lord, I want to cross over into campground.

Dont you want to go, to that Gospel feast,
That promised land, where all is peace?

Oh,
Deep river, my home is over Jordan.
Deep river, Lord, I want to cross over into campground.
