Rejoice in the Lord as The Petersens perform a bluegrass rendition of ‘Down To The River To Pray.’ This classic hymn is the perfect reminder that God is always there to answer your prayers.
“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!”
The Petersens are a family band from Branson, Missouri. The band consists of siblings, Katie, Ellen, Matt, and Julianne, mom Karen, and family friend Emmett Franz.
This bluegrass ensemble has traveled all around the world sharing their musical talents, but you can normally find them at home in Branson. For ten seasons, The Petersens have performed at the Little Opry Theatre in the Branson IMAX Entertainment Complex.
Today, Katie and Emmett put together a unique arrangement of ‘Down To The River To Pray’ and it’s a performance that you don’t want to miss.
“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”
On YouTube, the family gave some behind the scenes insight on the creation of their videos. “We try to match our songs to locations and it can take a little while for the song, venue, and lead singer to all come together at the same time!”
And we’re so glad that they take the time to create these incredible performances to showcase their God-given talents. Who else agrees?
Psalms 4:1 “Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.”
