Doris Akers - Every Time I Feel The Spirit

This song never fails to move me every time i hear it! I love Doris' arrangement! THE BEST!! Billy Preston on piano:-)

Oh every time I feel the Spirit
Moving in my heart I'll pray
Oh oh every time I feel the Spirit
Moving in my heart I'll pray
Oh I can't forget how He raised me
I can't forget how He saved me
And every time I feel the Spirit
Moving in my heart I'll pray
Oh oh every time I feel the Spirit
Moving in my heart I'll pray
Oh I can't forget how He raised me
I can't forget how the Lord saved me
And every time I feel the Spirit
Moving in my heart I'll pray

OH! Up on a mountain,
My God spoke out of His mouth came fire and smoke
I looked all around me, looked all around me, looked all around me, looked so fine!
I asked Lord, oh Lord is all this mine?

Oh every time I feel the Spirit
Moving in my heart I'll pray
Oh oh every time I feel the Spirit
Moving in my heart I'll pray
Oh I can't forget how He raised me
I can't forget how He saved me
And every time! Every time! Every time!
Feel the Spirit--moving in my heart I'll pray!

Doris you make me want to cry and dance at the same time. Thanks again Karma.

[karma342]

Thanks so much for your sincere words!

I am glad you enjoy the music of this immensely talented composer! God bless you!

Could you post Doris Akers and the Choir singing Lead Me Guide Me from the album Doris Aketrs sings with the Sky Pilot Choir. It's my daily prayer, and so moving on the album.

[karma342]

Yea, I LOVE the way she sings it on that album! Its more of a prayer on there, right? Ok I will probably put it up sometime this week... Look out for it! God bless you ;)

Do you have the last album by the Sky Pilot Choir after Doris left? It was done in the late 60's when Shirley Mays took over the choir. It was called Sky Pilot flight 7:15.

[karma342]

No I dont have that one... what are the tracks on it?

[Hammiegirl88]

This sounds great they sound in so much harmony with one another. Unfortunately music isn't as good as it used to be, Doris Aker's music proves there was good gospel music back then.

Thank you so much, Karma342 for sharing all of these videos. I was only 7 or 8 when I visited the church that (all I could remember) the choir that walked into the church on both isles singing "It's A Highway To Heaven".After talking to friends about the church, I awoke this morning and the name Doris Akers popped into my head. I am so enjoying all of the entries that you have put on the net. I am 61 now and I so appreciate your sharing. Thank you.

Jazzy, I received your message but am unsure how to continue chatting. I would love to talk with you re the days of the Sky Pilot Choir and the blessings of singing under Doris Akers. I'm in southern California.  I wonder how many are still around?

woke up this a.m. with this ringing in my heart--Doris & The Sky Pilot Choir--Every Time I Feel The Spirit (I'm thinking I should pray, so I will~!)

[warmlandlass1]

Woke up this a.m. with Doris and the Sky Pilot Choir singing...in my heart (how wonderful to wake up like this)

[ChildofYHWHs]

You can sit still listening to this one.  :) I've listened to it 4 times already and faved it. Be blessed in YHWH.

thanks for this musical history, gospel was/is never better than when Doris was composing and singing. thank you, thank you, thank you.

This sounds so much like the choirs I heard in church when I was growing up. The music was lively and the pianists were all like Doris Akers or Jimmy Swaggart.

This sounds so much like alot of the choirs I heard when I was growing up.

I remember the night Doris walked into our small rag-tag choir room. There were about 30 of us and we were preparing for the Friday night broadcast and Sunday service. She walked to the front of the room, looked at us and struck a chord on the piano. What began that night blessed those of us who got to sing under her direction. People who listened to the Sky Pilot, Aubrey Lee, began to come to church and soon the Revival Center (which was an old movie theater) was filled to capacity.
