Listening to the words and rhythms of "Nothing But The Water" during a pounding rain storm yesterday my mind drifted towards other songs about redemption, water and spirituality. Being the person I am, I ended up on the other side - another song about water and redemption but not finding it. Here's a band I know a lot of GPN fans have been enjoying lately - Brown Bird. Check out their song "Down To The River". No, they did not go there to pray.

Lord I can’t feed the baby, mama’s sick and in bed
I’ve got a world full of worry running wild in my head
I spent all my money just to make ends meet
I’m begging Lord won’t you send me relief
There ain’t nobody in this world who’d bet a dime on anybody like me

So I went down to the river of insufferable sins
Lord I tried but the water wouldn’t let me come in
Too many lives have been broken
There’s too much blood on my hands
There ain’t no water in this world could turn me back into an innocent man
