The song is lifted from his debut album, 'Coming Home', which came out June 22 via Columbia Records. Meanwhile, check out the video, filmed on location in Baltimore, below. Discussing the track, Bridges said:
“A river has historically been used in gospel music as symbolism for change and redemption. My goal was to write a song about my personal spiritual experience. It was written during a time of real depression in my life and I recall sitting in my garage trying to write a song which reflected this struggle. I felt stuck working multiple jobs to support myself and my mother. I had little hope and couldn’t see a road out of my reality. The only thing I could cling to in the midst of all that was my faith in God and my only path towards baptism was by way of the river.
