Clark Sisters, The - A Praying Spirit Lyrics






Lord, give a praying spirit
A praying spirit
Lord, help me to say yes
Yes, yes Lord [4x]

A praying spirit, throughout the day
A praying spirit in every way
A praying spirit so that I might say
I want a praying spirit
Lest I faint, oh

(Lest when I pray give me what say) [6x]
Yes yes yes yes Lord [4x]

Yes yes Lord [9x]
[Repeat til fade]

    Woke up with this song on my mind and I knew it would be on YouTube! What a memory of the times we had back in the day!🎤❤️

  22. J.... M....

    I love Twinkie's piano licks on this

  23. C.... D....

    I love denise voice on these records with her sisters

  24. Q.... C....

    Is that Denise sanging.sound like it,but Karen twi,and Denise sound so much alike.

    Q.... C....

    that is not Karen that is Denise

    Q.... C....

    Definitely Karen 😂

    Q.... C....

    Denise and Karen do sound alot at times especially back when she was singing You should hear her sing steal away to Jesus then you will hear more strongly.

    Q.... C....

    No that's 17 year old Karen; in the beginning she did sound like her eldest sister though. Denise sings lead on the title track though. Denise's vocals weren't that powerful lol

    That's all Karen. Every time they do the song live, Karen sings it.

    Q.... C....

    @timmy841212 I think your entitled to have your opinion because

    that's not absolutely truth atall denise can sing she blended well. she is drive of the Clark sister group .

  25. G.... V....

    Lord Jesus, give me a praying Spirit in Jesus' holy name!

  26. c.... ....

    Guru you've done it again with Madame Mattie Moss Clark and girls who captivated with an anointed and unique music and vocal ministry. This is a rare piece, the original rendition and recording of this piece which great. Thanks for posting .

    c.... ....

    You're welcome. I love the original version too.

  27. n.... ....

    I love the good old days when you didn't mind the mistakes on a take.. Makes the listening experience even more authentic.

  28. W.... T....

    I think the UNAC 5 was before this one, the choir version! Although this is an original of the sisters singing it which I like better than the choir one

    W.... T....

    shadon74 I think UNAC 5 was 79. The UNAC before this came out is the one with the Original "Of My People" and "The Will of God". The year before this.

    W.... T....

    @newcreature2011 Yeah that live version was in 79. On that one, it was just Karen, Denise, Twinkie and Mattie (Dorinda was apparently sick and Jacky was looking after her).

    W.... T....

    @timmy841212 That's the one! Just heard it not too long ago! Dr. Clark was holding down that alto!

  29. T.... T....

    Oh yes Indeed Thank you lord!

  30. t.... ....

    This sounds like Oh my soul loves jesus

  31. t.... ....

    Twinkie had funk on her. If i was a good singer i would go to her now and be like can you make me some music like you did back then

  32. T.... C....

    I love these ladies!!!!

  33. S.... ....

    "Lord when I pray...." what now? Is it "give me Lord to say" (< well that doesn't make sense :T) "hear me Lord today", "give me more to say" "some' some' some' say" LOL! Seriously, somebody help me out please. What are they saying??? I even put on headphones and I still don't understand. I'm tired of singing it wrong. :(

    S.... ....

    SoulfulChaos lord when I pray give what to say

    S.... ....

    Jordan Wynne Thank you! 😄

    S.... ....

    It's Lord when I pray give me words to say

    S.... ....

    😂😂😭😭💀💀 DIS COMMENT GOT ME LAUGHING FR FR

  34. D.... M....

    twinkie wrote scripture songs just like her mom

    D.... M....

    DeJaiz Moe yes she did

  35. M.... ....

    the music is so live

  36. f.... ....

    Yes Twinkie was way ahead of her time and now only the real old gospel artists give her the credit she deserves. Not only did she have the best voice back then she also taught and ushered in a new gospel era to her sisters and the world. Her voice was like honey poured over the spirit but now Karen gets so much attention doing all the things she did back in the 60's. Such a humbling life

    f.... ....

    Why does Karen sound like evelyn champagne king on here tho?? lol

    f.... ....

    clark sisters without doubt were innovators of my time. however twinkie and most of their sisters were little girls in the 60s. i met them back then when when they came to town with their mother. she called my cousin the late rev. lester mcgee her god son. he was a musical director, pastor, promoter, sunday school so and so, and worked with mother clark at the cogic convocations. the clark sisters really came into their own in the late 70s and through out the 80s. yes elbernita "twankie" clark is the unsung genius of the group, and a beautiful spirit as well.

    f.... ....

    CJ B. no that's all karen singing, she did sound like Denise here abit but karen was just coming into her voice at the time that's why she sounded a little nasally and whiny still but you can tell her voice was maturing and blossoming

  37. a.... n....

    YES LORD.  HAVE YOUR WAY INMY LIFE LORD

  38. j.... ....

    This reminds me of "Speak Lord!" & "Now is the Time!" GOD have mercy on US all... #TCS

  39. m.... h....

    The Clark sisters let God use them to bring a newer sound together way before the music was tuned all the way up... WOW!!! Okay now i am truly convinced... they are #1 on my list

  40. m.... h....

    No wonder where the 90s & early 2000s got it from and even in this time era fr fr
