Josh Turner’s children delivered a touching performance of “The River,” which is one of his gospel songs.
“The River” is a gospel-inspired country song written and originally performed by American country music artist Garth Brooks. The song was released in 1992 as a single from his album “Ropin’ the Wind” and became a hit, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
“The River” features lyrics that speak of perseverance and hope, encouraging listeners to keep pushing forward and to never give up on their dreams. The song’s chorus sings, “And I will sail my vessel ’til the river runs dry. Like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky. I’ll never reach my destination if I never try, so I will sail my vessel ’til the river runs dry.”
The song has been covered by several other artists over the years, including Josh Turner, whose children performed a version of it. Turner’s rendition of the song stays true to the original, but adds his own unique spin on it with his rich, deep voice and emotive delivery.
Overall, “The River” is a timeless country classic that has touched the hearts of many with its message of perseverance and determination.
