“It’s fun for all of us to get together and sing and play and perform and all that,” Turner also shared via social media. “It’s not something that I set out to accomplish. It just kind of happened that way. But Hampton in particular, every time I see him, he’s playing some kind of instrument at home. I don’t know what that means, but I can see a lot of me in that. I’m very proud of all of them, they are very capable and very talented.”
“The River (Of Happiness)” Lyrics
There’s a river way out yonder
Beyond the valley, across the plain
There’s a river where I’m goin’
When my Savior calls my name
No more cryin’, no more weepin’
No more sad or lonely days
‘Cause on that river, I’ll be smilin’
When my Savior calls my name
And we will sing sweet hallelujahs
Praises to our glorious King
Won’t you come with us
To the river
The river of happiness
The river of happiness
The record debuted at No. 1 on Nielsen’s Country Albums Chart and at No. 2 on both Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart and Top Christian Albums Chart! The complementing live performance DVD also secured the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Music Video Chart and Christian Music Video Chart.
