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.
