Doris Akers – “There’s a Sweet Sweet Spirit in This Place”

Disarming gospel standard “There’s a Sweet Sweet Spirit in This Place” has been loved and covered by many, including Elvis Presley, who included it in his shows. There are vibrant, life-restoring dimensions and layers to the song which make the listener feel as if the author truly knew the Creator. Written by Doris Akers, the Youtube clip below shows the great lady herself reintroducing the world to a relatively unknown third verse, which, with its simple, transcendant, eternal, truths, sounds even more relevant now than at the time of composition.
