Please comment! :) If you like this, please see my other Doris Akers videos... thanks! Lyrics:

There's a name that's dear to me
Lifted me from misery
Took me out of sin and shame
How I love His blessed name
It gets sweeter everyday
Serving Jesus really pays
Oh how I love this man from Galilee

Sweet Jesus
Fellowship divine
Sweet Jesus
I'm His and He is mine
Sweet Jesus
A precious friend indeed
Sweet Jesus
Whenever I'm in need of fellowship divine
I'm His and He is mine a precious friend indeed
Whenever I'm in need Oh how I love this Man of Galilee

If the Lord you've never known
You should hasten to His throne
Such a blessing you'll receive
If in Him you will believe
Life will be so sweet to you
You'll call Him Sweet Jesus, too.
Oh how I love this Man of Galilee!

with the most deference to Bill, who can possibly accompany Doris but Doris!@!!!

the Holy Spirit annoints that voice and the keyboards like no other I have ever heard!

LOL. This is true, but hey, at least she gave him a chance! But being the perfectionist she was, when his playing wasn't up to par, she gave him the boot!! Thanks for your comment!! God bless!

This song was written for the Pastor of the SKY PILOT REVIVAL CENTER, Dr. Aubey Lee. He would always get up and say, SWEET JESUS at every service. Doris wrote the song for him, and all of us!!!

[karma342]

This is true, in the song's dedication it says:

"Inspired by words of Dr. Aubrey J. Lee, "Sky Pilot" Revival Center, Los Angeles".

[qubomire]

She's great...

[karma342]

Yes, she is! I recommend you watch my other vids of her, if you haven't already done so... truly unique artist!

It seems to me that Doris was deeply loved by many people. I never had the honor of meeting her, but I dont lose hope that one day we will all be re-united

in heaven. We will meet the Lord our Savior (first and foremost) then with our loved ones to spend eternity in heaven.

We will rejoice with the ones who prevailed thru the end. Can't wait 'til I reunite with my mother and sister as well.

See you there shortly. What a precious song. God bless!

when I meet Miss Doris in Heaven, I am going to sing with her, and hug her to bits!!

[suzesunshine1]

When you sing, and especially is it is something you wrote, there is a cadence that you want to keep and when someone else accompanies you, it is lost, and this was the way to do it...after all she was there and capable.. She was a singer in this room, among singers This was her song, and she he took the lead and had her chorus of special singers backing her up. That is how it should have been .

BEAUTIFUL !! MOVING!! The Spirit was definitely in THIS house !!

[suzesunshine1]

Thank you for posting this. I had never seen her before and this was such a blessing.She is such a truly inspired Spirit !! What a gift she was given and she used it to serve her Lord.

My mom (her niece) would tell us stories of how much of a perfectionist Aunt Doe was. Our family had some GOD given vocallist and there was nothing like when she would come in town and get the family together and they would sing from sun up to sun down.

[PatiMayo]

She reminds me of my mother who played piano many years at our church in Minneapolis and in Iowa later on. Doris was quite talented and very humble, just like my mother. I could watch this video a million times. God Bless you for sharing.

I love Doris Akers! She reminds me of and looks just like my great aunt who was also a musician and song writer and like Doris was able to play by ear starting at a young age...There aren't as many anointed women like that now a days.

I came across this great woman of God a few days ago on YouTube and I cannot stop listening to her. Her voice and so annoiting, powerful, and blessed.

@AkiliKumasi I totally agree. I believe that Doris was a close personal friend of the Gaithers. I don't believe she could have done it if the friendship and respect factors were not there. She was also kind of like an elder to him so that also carried some weight in this situation. I believe everyone present at this video taping understood the situation and all found it very enjoyable and even anticipated when she took over.

I remember hearing this song sung in church when I was a kid. I had wondered for years who wrote it, and just found out via this video. I love this song. I am learning more about Doris and her music some of which I sang growing up and church and never knew it was written by her. Thank you for sharing this video and the others.
