River, Run Through Me

You can lay down the weight and keep the love.



River, Run Through Me is a prayer in song for the moments when the past feels close and you want to make a little room for today.

It begins at a bend in the river, with unfinished words and a branch drifting downstream. From there, its story moves through old arguments, memories of laughter, people we miss, and the courage to feel again.

At its heart is a simple request:

“River, run through me.

Spirit of life, move freely.”

This song makes room for honest grief, forgiveness, tenderness, and hope. You can acknowledge what happened, love what mattered, and still have something left to live.

“You can have the weight.

I’ll keep the love.

Let that be enough.”

I wanted to create something for the human being beneath all the carrying. Something to sit with when you need a quiet moment, an open hand, or a little light reaching deeper.

For prayer, reflection, an evening drive, or a moment that belongs to you.
