We met Allison a few weeks ago at a fundraiser called Bella Bash. My daughter Jessica, fell in love with Allison and held her hand and walked around with her a bit. We had no idea what an anointed singer she is. She is as nice as she is a wonderful singer. So blessed to have met her. ALSO, we have seen Sandi Patty and I must say both women are anointed and worshippers.
WOW! Her voice is just so peaceful and strong...Then as we got to the end.. I was like WOW!- SHE GOT THEM HIGH NOTES... WHAT A BLESSING!!! What a talent, such a great voice!
I don't know how many times I have played this when I am driving and each time I get the shivers and feel so close to Jesus that I get tears in my eyes. The internet has many bad things, but what a blessing having this on YouTube.
I like this song very much... But whose song is it? Is it her song? Or it is SoHyang's. a Korean famous christian singer? Anyway... The song is great...
I wish you would not make this comparison. Each one of us is good in their right. She has a beautiful voice that God has bestowed her with and she uses it to worship Him. So does Sandy. Our judgements really depend on our tastes. But the two ladies are both highly gifted in this area, but each is unique in their own way.
What and AWESOME Contralto she is. Wow. She takes the low notes that Sandi can't drill and just HAMMERS them home until the high head voice kicks in. Bravo Bravo Bravo. WHOOOOOOOOOOOO! !!!! I'll just betcha Karen Carpenter could have done this if she had the proper upper range training. Yo - Richard - listen to this lady sing....
@lucycow Karen Carpenter had a sublime 4 octave range and could have handled this song with comparable ease!!! Karen could have sung anything. Sandi Patty was a huge Karen Carpenter fan....Allison has a nice voice and does a nice version with this song, but for me, this song will always be joined to Sandi Patty in my mind as I first heard and felt in love with Sandi and her version...but Allison does a lovely interpretation adding her own to it....
Does anyone have her singing In the Morning Light? I woke up to the very end of that song on TV one Sunday morning about 15 yrs ago (never found out who the singer was till now; just googled her). It's an amazing song in this same Sandi-Patty-esque genre.
I guess we all perform when we worship.. the difference is that we are performing before the AUDIENCE OF ONE, the Most High God.. Praise be to the Lord the God Almighty.
I was watching her on the other vid of I will glory in the cross, but this has move me to tears of joy and gladness that I am the redeamed, blessings to you.
justinscott04: the difference between Allison Speer and Sandi Patti's "performance" [which is really worship and should be called such] is the former's spirit, anointing, and authenticity. These qualities come through even more in Speer's "I will glory in the cross" and "I'm bound for that city." The point? Patti performs. Speer worships.
Speer uses the same vocal inflections and melodic/lyrical improvisations ("you, and you, and you are where this kingdom will begin") that Patty made famous when Gaither/McGuire wrote UTR for her in the early 80s. Now who is really "authentic," as you say, in this case? Both are performances. Who are you to judge and what criteria do you base this on? The question to which you're responding was a genuine one, but you've turned it into a competition as to who is more holy.
@blueglasses2 I agree. I think either one would applaud loudly for each other. There is a catholic saint who said that singing is praying twice. These ladies are putting all their might into their prayer.
@blueglasses2 I agree. Both have phenomenal God-given voices, and both have unique voices, which should not be compared. One of the best things God ever did was make each person unique....which includes our voices. The timbre of their voices are very different, but both gorgeous in their own way.
Thank you for a wonderful image. I learnt this song because I had listened South Korean musician Changmin singing. And, I have been deeply very moved to listen to her song. Tears do not stop in her splendid singing voice.
First of all I really enjoyed it very much so please don't think I'm bashing anyone...that being said, whats the difference between her performance and Sandi Patti's?
I think this lady is a very very talented singer, and I'd like to see her do her own inflections on songs like this.
You should be able to order it or find it at any Christian book store, or try Amazon.. it's been available for at least 24 years....Check for possibly a 'Sandi Patti" labeled version (which this one is)..
I wonder why she sang it a key lower than Sandi, I'm pretty sure she would've done an excellent job still. But yes, this was beautiful, and she sounds nothing like Sandi, she has her own style, and very emotional. She should do musical theater.
Wow...i didn't think i'd ever want to hear anybody but Sandi sing this song - but this was amazing! Different in her phrasing, but still - amazing! Loved it!
Absoulutely wonderful! Allison has a magnificent voice! She is also a very sweet and genuine person and I'm honored to count her as one of my dear friends. If you haven't had the opportunity to see one of her concerts in person, then I highly recommend you go! No matter how good she sounds in these videos, they do not do her justice! It is just something you have to experience to fully appreciate!
Awesome voice...what a blessing!!!! It´s my favorite song and listening to her amazing heartfelt presentation made me connect...I´m teraful and speechless. God bless Allison!
She has a wonderful voice! What cave have I been living in? I haven't heard of her until now! WOW! Hrdbunns you are right, it is hard to hear the break between her lower and upper registers!! Amazing! God Bless her!
Allison is amazing! Does this lady have a break in her voice? When she goes from chest to head voice and then back to chest, there is absolutely no break. What an AMAZING voice!
Wow--who is this woman? What an awesome voice, spirit and rendering of this song. She is amazing. My friend Juadine shared this with me. Thanks, Juadine.
Allison Durham Speer is Brian Speer's wife, Brian is the son of the late Brock Speer of The Speer Family. Allison is also an amazing painter and has a very sweet spirit about her and obviously a wonderful voice. I bought a few cassettes off of hers from her website and she autographed them for me. allisondurhamspeer(dot)com

You are very naughty to compare Sandi and Allison. You have no right to say who worships and who performs when a singer sings to God.
How do you know that Sandi doesn't worship when she sings? How do you know that Allison doesn't sing when she worships?
Whilst you have the right to say what you feel, you folks in the USA don't always appreciate what you have.
They are both individuals in God who are so talented and the gift is from God anyway!
