DJ Oji & Una - We Lift Our Hands At The Sanctuary (Friday Night At The Sanctuary Mix)

Epic tune, found it on the Phil Asher's "Jazz In the House #12" compilation. Lyrics below.

"Now I don't see nothing wrong, singing happy song
At the spirit deep inside, like a feeling getting strong
And there's no need for opression, we come in peace
All we ask is let the music set you free

Check your attitude at the door
Smell the essence burning, sprinkle powder on the floor
The night is young and full of possibilities
We got our shelter now we, we found our sanctuary

(chorus)
We lift our hands at the Sanctuary
People come to dance at the Sanctuary
Love is alive at the Sanctuary
I feel alive at the Sanctuary

Lift up our hands in the Sanctuary
Everybody dance in the Sanctuary
So hear our voice in the Sanctuary
We rejoice in the Sanctuary

Can you imagine a place where all that matters is the music
DJ plays and the party people lose it
Singing, screaming, dancing around
I like the soulful sound of the underground

No pressure, no fear
Nobody's in your business cause nobody really cares
Everyone's special and you should feel the same
Welcome to the Sanctuary (I'm so glad you came)

...

Brothers and sisters, we are at the crossroads
Either we move forward, or get left behind
We gotta keep on keeping on
House music will never die
I don't think you heard it
HOUSE MUSIC WILL NEVER DIE"

koolzainski, you must be a "house noob". House Music (REAL House Music, that is) is the melding of several different styles of music; including but not limited to, Funk, Jazz, Disco, Blues, AND Gospel. House has always had a spiritual connection, and it's not just a bunch of random sounds slammed together in 4/4@ 125 BPM. Check your history.

Sanctuary Club is actually in Washington, D.C.. Afterhour club house used to bring guest djs like Doug Smith of 95 North, Sam Burns, Ron Trent, Tony Humphries, DJ Spen, DJ Oji, DJ Pope, etc.

@bilboshaggins Todd Gardner - Do you know house(Original mix) Went widely un-noticed which is a shame as its such an amazing piece of house music.

Does anyone have, like, a list of other tracks as "classic" as this one? I love this song, just wondering if I'm missing others that are underground-famous.
