Religious Meaning and Song Origins
Despite Yona's extensive research, the origins of this song still remain unknown. One of the most profound "Sorrow Songs," most likely written by a slave without credit, was cited by W. E. B. Du Bois in "The Souls of Black Folk."
Jordan River themes of liberation, breakthrough, and deliverance are universal. Howard Thurman, dean of Howard University, interprets "troubled waters" as transformative moments. He said God is in "troubled" waters, so healing can be found there.
Wading through muddy waters takes courage. God invites us to persevere, trusting that He will lead us to the Promised Land, even though these difficult parts may shake our faith.
