Set It in the River

“Set It in the River” is a song about forgiveness, release, and choosing peace over bitterness. It’s about carrying the stones of old wounds, names, memories, anger, and pain — then finally bringing them to the water and letting God take what your soul was never meant to carry forever. Forgiveness does not mean pretending nothing happened. It means refusing to let hate keep drowning your heart. This song is for anyone who has been hurt, betrayed, misunderstood, abandoned, or broken by someone else’s wounds. It is a reminder that you do not have to become darkness just because darkness came for you. At its heart, “Set It in the River” is about ending the chain, choosing freedom, and letting Heaven wash the weight away — so we can stand before our children, before God, and before ourselves carrying love instead of bitterness. Set it in the river… and let your spirit heal.
