Capturing a spirit of release, redemption, and renewal, Jamie MacDonald gives us the music video for her song, “Left It In The River.”

On her Instagram page, MacDonald says, "My prayer is that this song becomes your anthem of joy, renewal, and freedom. May it meet you right where you are and remind you of the truth. Who the Son sets free is free indeed!"

The official music video for Jamie MacDonald's song "Left It In The River" depicts a journey of finding freedom and deliverance from past burdens. The lyrics describe a personal transformation through faith, where the singer leaves their guilt and shame "in the river".

“Left It In The River” arrives on the heels of MacDonald’s breakout success “Desperate,” which held the No. 1 position on the Billboard Christian AC and Mediabase Christian AC charts for 7 consecutive weeks. The song, written during a season of grief following the loss of her father, connected with listeners navigating pain, faith, and healing. A reimagined version of “Desperate” featuring GRAMMY Award winner Lauren Daigle is also out.

MacDonald is currently on the road with Phil Wickham, as part of his Song of the Saints Tour. “I couldn’t be more excited for the Song of the Saints tour with Phil and Tauren (Wells),” added MacDonald. “These are two artists I’ve looked up to for a long time, so it’s extra special for me and such an honor to be a part!”

"Left it in the River" Lyrics:

I had burdens on my shoulders all my life
I tried and tried to leave ‘em all behind
But freedom’s one thing I could never find

I said a prayer from the banks of a river
God met me there showing me something better

My life was changed
When I stepped into the water
Ain’t seen my chains
Since I gave ‘em to the Father
Hallelujah I’ve been delivered
Where is my guilt?
Where is my shame?
I left it in the river (river), oh
I left it in the river (river), oh

Now there’s nothing that take this joy I’ve found
He raised me up and I ain’t coming down
He washed me clean and now there ain’t no doubt
He turned it all around

I said a prayer from the banks of a river
God met me there showing me something better
I left my wrongs at the bottom of the river
I said so long, said goodbye forever

My life was changed
When I stepped into the water
Ain’t seen my chains
Since I gave ‘em to the Father
Hallelujah I’ve been delivered
Where is my guilt?
Where is my shame?
I left it in the river (river) oh
I left it in the river (river) oh
I left it in the river (river) oh
I left it in the river (river) oh
I left it in the river
