Porter, Gregory - Take Me To The Alley Lyrics

This song is so beautiful it bring tears to my eye. I just lost a good friend to brain cancer and his wife is in a way mad. But I think god wants me to share this song with her so that she can understand. This song is simply beautiful in every way. Thank you for sharing this song.

Wonderful.

PRAISE THE LORD ...............X

Warms my very soul.. 👌🏽

This song is a blessing. Such a wonderful message.

Brilliant not other words for this man.

This is so AMAZING that when you hear it you drop everything because it's so mesmerizing!

I always felt that this was a beautiful Jazz song, if that can be but, Jay Robinson explained something that I did not know about Gregory Porter and the history of the song. I have fallen deeper in love with this song because it was so deep BEFORE I knew about Gregory Porter and his wonderful mother!

I love Gregory Porter's voice. I go to sleep listening to his music.

Magnifique!

Wow! I've never heard this song before. I just stumbled upon it, and what a blessing. It spoke to my soul. Thank you Mr. Porter. God bless you 🙏

Word! Power! Worship! OMG!!

Magic, seeing him in May 😎

He is a great artist with love of life and struggle of our people comes to life in his songs i love his songs and the messages it gives !

Nearer to Thee my God, nearer to Thee.

Great song's

This singer can place your mine in a very smooth jazz or spirtual manner and keep it there. He is the most smootest singer I know. I don't know you know that his mom use to be a pastor. I went to. Hear him sing when he was here in Houston . He will be back in March 2020 don't miss out ok

I chose this song for my brother's final celebration RIP Gregory Poe.

Secrets of Beautiful sorry for your loss may he Rest In Peace 🙏🏾

Only God, can gift the voice this man has. And the talent to go with it. He is blessed.

Amen and Amen. You are so blessed!

Rest in Paradise Carnal' ...

Somebody said “what cord is this played in” and somebody answered
“The cord of hope “

GREGORY PORTER DOES NOT GET AS MUCH RECOGNITION AS HE SHOULD ON THE RADIO. HIS MUSIC IS AWESOME.

"Take Me To The Alley"

Well, the guild their houses
In preparation for the King
And the line the sidewalks
With every sort of shiny thing
They will be surprised
When they hear him say

Take me to the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me to the lonely ones 
That somehow lost their ways

Let them hear me say
I am your friend
Come to my table
Rest here in my garden
You will have a pardon

Take me to the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me to the lonely ones 
That somehow lost their ways

Let me hear me say
I am your friend
Come to my table
Rest here in my garden
You will have a pardon
They will be surprised
When the hear him say

Take me the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me to the lonely ones that
Somehow lost their ways

Let them hear me say
I am your friend
Come to my table
Rest here in my garden
You will have a pardon
You will have a pardon
Take me to the alley
Take me to the afflicted ones
Take me, take me, take me

EXQUISITE!

His pianist is madly talented.

One of the sweetest, crispest, beautiful, Jazz voice of the 21Century!

Music is medicine

Rest In Paradise BIG BROTHER-

Man I've listened ten times back to back. This song touches my soul ❤️

An amazing voice, talent. Sounds similar to an expanded Lou Rawls. This song is a needed for the whole world to hear. Healing, comfort, etc. Thank you God for this in unbelievable talent

I could listen to this a millions times. I come back here when I need some comfort and remind me of God's grace. Thank you Gregory Porter.

His words are a safety net of hope, we are not alone

I remember when I first heard "Take Me To The Alley." I had to pull off the road and cry. This psalm still impacts me just as strongly as that first time. To me it's lyric is very much a call of the Messiah and invitation to eat from the table of Christ, My Lord, to enjoy a walk with God in the garden of my life. A powerful testament to the commission we have to love, accept and respect every man, woman and child. No exceptions! After all I received the same invitation, I dare not deny anyone the same grace extended to me.

This brother riiiiiiight here.......... if I could sing like this my oh my

Beautiful! It's not often in this day of Studio singer's that u hear a voice of this caliber! This man has been blessed with a truly beautiful voice!

Thank you Jesus and thank you Gregory Porter

Soul is soul what a voice

1mik, 1take, 1 word....Sublime!

A true follower of Christ sees about the afflicted ones because Christ did the same.

Soul stirring!

You are a star, Gregory

Flawless.

Yesssss ...Mr Porter.....!! OMG Yes

Dude playing piano is a grown up Shroeder.

made me cry....so sweet. Thanks Gregory.

This song makes you want to play every instrument including the voice.

It may be small but this songs makes it bigger than the world

Stupendous artist, beautiful song..........the lyrics are simply amazing. the true meaning of how we should be and care for one another!

When Messiah Comes he will say...

672 people are totally crazy - who doesn’t like the sound of Gregory Porter’s voice ?? He could sing the ABCs and it would be amazing- what a gift!!

Mr.Gregory, I SO am immersed by your sweet voice~ God given talent!😎🌹⚘

The piano solo makes me want to cry. His voice is butter. Grateful he made this version

I'm sitting here with tears streaming down
This song brings me such peace and comfort. This man is awesome!!!!!!

He is the Best from the Best! What a great Voice, i love it!

I've been struggling with getting my anger under control lately but it is something I must do now before I end up dead or hurt. Seriously. I have a history of child abuse and that's what abuse does to a child that grows up to be an adult. I'm so happy to have finally found a solution. Whenever I get upset or angry, I listen to this song 5 times and I'm peaceful again; able to go on another day to try again when I fall short. God bless this man and his voice that touches us so. Thank you Gregory.

There is a way to articulate the idea of how to love the afflicted and all those who need love.  Is this not what God asked, come to my table.

Refreshing vocal... So talented....

I CAN'T MAKE IT THROUGH THIS SONG WITHOUT CRYING

Might sound a bit weird to say and must might not understand.......but his voice makes me feel like it's perfectly ok being a real man and to rest in it

One of my favourites. I am learning to appreciate Gregory without forcing him on my friends....but sometimes I just can't help but send around a track...😏

I know him my dad knows him at least he craig dawson

Amazing
