Lyrics:
Cheryl Walker
A love supreme sanctified and free.
Annointed by Holy Ghost's healing
Dressed up in soul's sincerity.
Attending sunrise services, prayer meetings and tent revivals.
Uttering His name,
Dressed up in Soul's sincerity.
To divine peace,
In a quixotic storm.
She is sanctified and free,
On a blueslicked freedom voyage.
Dressed up in soul's sincerity,
Her liberation is at hand.
Love Supreme,
Love Supreme all encompassing.
She vacations on His isle of Peace.
Love Supreme foreverness.
Love Supreme, Love river's crest,
Love Supreme.
A love supreme sanctified and free.
Annointed by Holy Ghost's healing
Dressed up in soul's sincerity.
Fervently awaiting laying on of hands,
As a child watches for Christmas morning rise.
Ensnared within a whole note,
She lives inside His sacred song.
Ensnared within a whole note,
Resides in His profound wisdom.
Ensnared within a whole note,
Chants mantras of His ubiquity.
Attending sunrise services, prayer meetings and tent revivals.
Uttering His name,
Dressed up in Soul's sincerity.
To divine peace,
In a quixotic storm.
She is sanctified and free,
On a blueslicked freedom voyage.
Dressed up in soul's sincerity,
Her liberation is at hand.
Love Supreme,
Love Supreme all encompassing.
She vacations on His isle of Peace.
Love Supreme foreverness.
Love Supreme, Love river's crest.
Love Supreme.
Steeped in faith and spirit filled,
She stands in prayer's sanctified circle.
Speakin' in tongues,
Speakin' in amazing grace.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound.
Snared within a whole note.
She's there in amazing grace circle.
How sweet the sound,
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound.
She's there in an amazing grace circle.
A coming in God's name circle.
Annointed by Holy Ghost's healing.
She sails on sounds holy rhythm,
A Simply Beautiful Love.
The love of one Father, Son, Spirit, one Love,
A Love Supreme,
Her liberation is at hand.
