Sweet, Sweet Spirit…

The first official response to CP’s favorite songs request arrived from good friend Sheri. A special song she mentions is Sweet, Sweet Spirit by Doris Akers.

This tune shares testimony and requests for the Spirit to fill each of us with love. The praise for this Spiritual revival is substantial in the lyrics and rendition shared HERE.

Of this song Sheri mentions:

This was a favorite of my Grandmother and my Mom. I have memories of both singing in the Baptist church of my childhood. The peacefulness that comes from hearing these lyrics is indeed, sweet.

Thanks for sharing this with us, Sheri!

Details about this hymn are HERE, including other renditions with this commentary

  • links to the jazzy quartet version by Australia’s The Idea of North (HERE)
  • cover by Korean family group Ruah Worship (HERE), with close harmony that savors the intimate rub of Akers’s striking three-chord progression spotlighting the word “place.”

POTENTIAL ACTIONS:

  • Spend time with the Sweet, Sweet Spirit renditions in the references above – you won’t be sorry as they are energizing!
  • Want a little more uplifting music today? Check our CP playlist HERE

As we continue this favorite song series, the results will reside HERE for your listening pleasure! 🙂

Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
