Lyrics:
Well, they guild their houses
In preparation for the king
And they 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 way
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 way
Let them 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 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 way
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
Take me
Take me

2024....who's still here...👋💜👑
2024 still smiles n tears. Thank u God...for this gift ..this man n his music...😊❤..whos here with me
Jazz a it finest, God is probably sipping on cup of coffee listening to this, marveling at his creation....
God gives mercy before the justice of the law
This song is AMAZING! I can’t stop listening to it. My choir director sang this song at a recent memorial service for Homeless People. As a former and current Special Education Teacher, I wonder how many of my students made it in life successfully. I pray that they all made it in life! Dr. Wade, Detroit Public Schools - 1973 to 2007.
What a gift to this troubled world!
I was one of them lost today 14 Yrs I was pardoned , I too was afflicted and today a miracle was performed. Praise the Lord .
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.
Absolutely
same the depth of soul and faith
I feel you! Love
Well said. Totally agree.
Indeed!
I really enjoy this song because I visualize Jesus The King going to the low places looking for the sick, afflicted, poor, depressed, rejected ones to sit them at his table to feed them spiritually, mentally, physically and financially.
A true pied Piper of the 21 century
Me too ❤😊
Amen
What a blessing to go to the Alley to say I am your friend, I hear Yeshua in this verse who no longer calls me stranger but friend, let me do likewise in Jesus Name.
This man has a wonderful, gifted, spirited, powerful, ordained & beautiful voice
I cry every time I hear this! Thank you Mr Porter and thank you Lord for loving me and never leaving me we can not contain your love!
I think I cried throughout his concert that I just saw... beautiful...
One of my family lost their way in USA lost in a gutter he's loved by his friends in USA and his family in liverpoo
2023 still listening to this masterpiece that is saying so much.
Gregory Porter is a national and natural treasure. ❤🎹🎙🎼🎶
I'm not a religious person. But this is the voice of God if I ever heard it.
I'm not Religious either but I am spiritual, this is how our Jesus Christ was and will be again. So glad to hear more of his story. He and His family are so Blessed, what an honor to have the opportunity to experience his Graceful talent. Peace and Blessings, Family Glorify the Most High Continually!
Religious, Spiritual or not, it’s about a Relationship with Jesus Christ!!! So blessed to be a blessing to others, thank you Gregory Porter and all who seeks to serve others and not self!!!
This song gives me such comfort. I picture Jesus as he sings it.
Literally one of THE MOST beautiful songs I have ever heard.
Homeless one, afflicted one, sick one, lonely one, lost one, hungry one, tired one, confused one, rest here in my garden, where you would have a part in...I am your friend
Yes!!!
Yes such a divine being Mr Porter
Peace and love to everyone
You will have a pardon... forgiveness! Yes!
I am your new best friend 👋☀️🪘🙏🏿
You can’t listen to that without feeling a sense of calm. I swear my blood pressure dropped. Ahhhhhhh yes.
If this doesn't soothe your soul then you are not alive. God bless you Gregory.
Wow I thank God for leading me to this song!! My soul is in tears of joy! This is how I have always felt about the ones that society has given up on ,looks down on and judge. We are all Gods children and as a child of God looking down on a person,dismaying a person,judging a person is a no no .This song the lyrics the instrumental is the most wonderful uplifting Soothing song I have ever heard in my life this far !!!
that piano solo is just perfection
Hugh Davis Icing on the cake.
Yes, I’m a wannabe piano head. Each musician is stellar. The accompaniment is divine.
2023 are you enjoying this beautiful music?
My 6 year old grandaughters love this song. They are always asking, "Nana can we hear the take me to the alley song." Beutiful!
Spot on this is how our Christ was and will be again. So glad to hear more of his story. He and His family are so Blessed, what an honor to have the opportunity to experience his Graceful talent. Peace and Blessings, Family Glorify the Most High Continually!

I somehow KNOW that We see and feel , The Same Things,
.... for Don't You sense that This Song is being sung, "For You Personally" ...that its Words touches Us all so gently, so convincingly.
I've been to The Front Door of Hell, and its as IF God sent Gregory Porter, to assure me, to still My Mind and comfort my heart.
Yes, I Feel It, "I have been given a Pardon." ....
Thank You God, Thank You Gregory.
Sean
2023. The words, the voice , the music, the message, all awesome! Soooo inspiring and true of God's goodness and how we should be as we receive this message. Thank you for this blessing
Praise the Lord for his undying love for us
2024 here💙
How cold-hearted must one be to dislike such a gem? Hope those who disliked find healing, and quick.
Those we're the ones who didn't receive a pardon 😔
Amen!!🙏
This brought me to tears...I would also like to share a 2nd wonderful version I heard brought me here..
Liala Biali covered this. Both incredible!
Simply beautiful 💓
@@MrKelly-ll1lx You are always pardoned. Please do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Blessings.
It's May of 2023. It's been a year since I've lost my significant other. We Loved going to Gregory Porter concerts. This was one his favorites. For you my Beloved!💙💙💙💙💙
Ein grandioser Jazzsänger,seine samtige,soulige Stimme berührt Herz&Seele ❤
this song reminds us that no matter what you have done or are doing, if you seek Him, He will provide, protect, and PARDON. PRAISE!!

Yes he will AMEN
I was given a pardon. I was that afflicted one. Now with my Higher Powers Grace, I go to the Alleys to offer my hand, a friend for the next afflicted one. ❤
Thank you.
Our duty as humans with a soul.
You're beautiful.
Such a beautiful song, reminds me of God's undying grace for us...love the way he sings this song.💝
Amen!
185 Soulless atomitones gave this song a thumbs down.
May the Eternal God of Love-everlasting bless the hearts of all who yearn for Him and His Kingdom.
Still here listening in 2023 and probably will ‘til eternity🙌🏾
Thank you Heavenly Father for your Pardon , Providence & Protection.
God came to my Alley..and He brought me home....
Amen!
Waiting for my time also
LORD JESUS CHRIST, IS THE EPITOME AND PRIME EXAMPLE OF SIMPLICITY.
if I can only remember this my life WIll be SUBLIME.
God is Great and I Believe when I have the honor to get a message and hear Mr, Porter delivers a phenomenal performance!!!
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.
2020 who's still listening to this beautiful piece?
I am STILL am listening to this HEAVENLY piece as of June 25, 2021, and STILL crying like a baby. STUNNING
2021 and it’s still affecting me
July 23rd 2021

Only just found it today. This man is something special.
Oh Jesus when you come to the alley what a beautiful day it will be
What an awesome song to get mind ready for daily devotion 🙏🏾. Thanks to my dear friend for just recently introducing me to Greg Porter in 2024! Can you believe that! Hoping we will be able to see him this year in Indiana or Los Angeles. 😊
I saw him two weeks ago in Dortmund, Germany. I am an entertainer from New York living here for many years. I was really homesick. His performance was healing for me. I was moved to tears when he sang this particular song. It was a sold out performance and awesome to see the audience enjoying too. We were butter in his hands. I took the vibe home and carried it into the next week. He's an angel parading as a pop singer. I'm an even bigger fan now. Thank you GP.
I wish he would come to the USA, HOWEVER I noticed he's always overseas. Well thank God for giving us the opportunity to hear him on our playlist. You were blessed to go see him live. I love his voice, his reason, his MUSIC!
This is deep!!! Convicting!!!
‘Love forgive; heal, cleanse & use for Your Glory!!! May lives be forever changed!!!’
In Christ Name!!!
Amen!
So True! -I, as does everyone,-“sometimes-needs forgiveness, redemption-
and a pardon”.
Thank you Mr Porter for showing me the heart and love of God. 🙏
What a precious gift! The lyrics, the music, the spirit of the musicians and Gregory’s rich evocative singing. A holy performance. So deeply moving. 🥰
Well said.
Thank you Sir for the beautiful soul searching and angelic voice. We are so privileged and blessed to listen to your music.🙏
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!!
A Sunset, a glass of wine, and this track. Proof that Heaven does exist.
Amazing artist. Can listen to him all day.
This may be the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
Indeed.
This is my saving grace- 7 yrs ago my 29 yr old nephew passed away and shattered my heart. I was barely making it through and this song found me and carried me until I could stand on my own again...each day outside from early morning until after dark working in the hot sun of summer landscaping the front of the Apts I was living in at the time. As soon as I started working my phone would be qued up and I'd press the START button and I would sing the song as best I could while sobbing and shoveling dirt and planting flowers. I would play it over and over and over, sometimes for hours on end-I could find no peace without it as it was my only source of comfort. I sent it to everyone I knew as a way of sharing my pain and loss and to hopefully bring peace to any who needed it- crying all the while. I've really only recently been able to listen with out crying and sometimes still do. This song saved me and made me remember that we're ALLgoing to be alright- for we are forgiven and we are truly loved.
I love the soothing texture of Mr. Porter's voice....and this song is so powerful
He is G-ds gift.
Our Pastor Sent Us Here Palm Sunday 2023 🙌🏾🌴😭🕊🙏🏾💗 Sooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL... JESUS WE LOVE YOU ❤
God is deep inside of us trying mightily to get out through our actions. Take me to the alley.
I am speechless - just can't find any word that matches the beauty of this song. Goes straight into my heart. Thank you Gregory Porter for sharing such an intens moment.
Ahts no wit big Stuart sais
Bless you...thank you
Bless you my brother. Please, continue to share your God given gift of song.
To be honest, I just discovered it a few months back and the first thing I could think on was Jesus. Today, I'm at a real low point, and I listened to it today because I needed it. Blessings Gregory and writer.

Gregory Porter is the greatest artists to come along in recent years. I can listen to him all day.
Gregory, totally agree. On the other side I have found a female vocalist out of this world. Here name is Ala.Ni and I can send you a proper link to one of her performance if you like. Just send me a personal massage if your interested.
Agreed.
I have.
So Amazing.. So soulful... So relaxing.... His voice is so inspiring....And his pianists matches his voice
Wow..........
Vinylsearch2015 60 I will check her out
My prayer daily to our Heavenly Father is: Allow us to be an ear, shoulder and hand where you have so ordained. Our conduct and deportment to reflect your grace and mercy and ours life service and not lip service. I love this song.
So beautiful brings tears to my eyes and a smile on my face....

Brother, may good days come for you🙏🏻
And what's the update as of june 24 2021
Gregory is a minister of God
This man's voice is truly a gift that cleanses the soul!!!
I m not sure how I found him
But I am so thankful for the gift of Gregory Porters voice
He blows me away!!!
Don't understand how anyone can give this a thumbs down. The lyrics itself. Beautiful, thank you
I like how he revised the word the alley. The dark places in lives of people. That don't know that there is hope. Just as Jesus did. He went to where their were.Giving hope and a pardon. Beautiful song. 🙏🙏📖❤️🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶.🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I am. This was just played at my best friend of 50 years funeral. It was his favorite song.
Love Mr. Porter, the pianist, bassist and drummer. So mellow. The whole sound is amazing!!
I play Gregory Porter on a daily basis and i still cant get enough of him and he just drop a new album 4 days ago,... this guy is heaven sent i swear.
This guy has it. That it this song brought me to tears it sounds like my Grandparents and my family.
One single voice that can open and close love with joy thank you for your unconditional love take me to heaven
I love this one.... after teaching America's best and brightest, I decided to take a u-turn and teach at-risk high school students who were so desolate in regular social realms that many/most had joined gangs, committed all sorts of crimes...It was the best career decision I ever made....Gregory reminds me of how we must never give up on anyone...ever.
Thank you for your Service and Commitment. Bless you!
God’s ways are not our ways and His thoughts are higher than ours. To turn down what we think is fame and fortune, just very well may be God’s way!!! Thank you for your obedience to Jesus Christ our Lord!!!
Well stated 🙏🏽 God bless 🙏🏽
This IS a Sunday sermon inside of 7 sonically lyrical golden minutes. Thank you, Sir Gregory with your heavenly trio. Now let the doors of the church be open. Amen and amen.
THIS LIFTED MY SPIRIT & SOOTHED MY SOUL!!! MAY JEHOVAH GOD IN JESUS NAME HEAR OUR PRAYERS & HEAL US ALL IN THESE TRYING TIMES. AMEN.
Gregory Porter pristinely, melodically exudes and empathetically captures the plaintive compassionate spirit of the scriptural heart that compels the inescapable and immeasurable purpose of humanity, undefined by a religion, permitting and allowing the unimaginable bestowal of Eternal Great Favor! Priceless!
When God was pouring out the gift of music he paused for awhile over Gregory Porter
Beautiful. I love that song.
Tears . . . so beautiful and moving. God's grace put to music with heavenly vocals.
WHERE HAS THIS MAN BEEN .... ALL MY LIFE ?????????
Mr. Porter, Your mother nurtured a beautiful man. Thank you for sharing your gift. I always cry when I listen to this song, because I am one of many who this song was written for in this corrupted world. Blessings from the Most High to you & yours and may your merciful mother rest in the Glory of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
