Marvin Sapp, “Fresh Wind” | Music Lifts 🎶 🏋

In the 1^st edition of Music Lifts (2023), we’re uplifted by Grammy-nominated pastor and gospel singer Marvin Sapp performing, “Fresh Wind.”

Welcome to Music Lifts 🎶 🏋, a column that seeks to highlight songs that encourage, inspire, and uplift the spirit; songs that exude fortitude, positivity, and resolve, even in the face of adversity.  Featured songs aren’t genre-specific; songs may or may not be faith-based. The goal is for these songs to make you feel better – be LIFTED to new heights!  So, for the 1^st edition of Music Lifts 🎶 🏋 (2023), we highlight 🎵 “Fresh Wind” as performed by 🎙 Marvin Sapp.

“I feel the presence of the Lord moving in the atmosphere,” 🏆 Grammy-nominated gospel singer, 🎙 Marvin Sapp asserts at the beginning of 🎵 “Fresh Wind”.  He continues singing, “Like on the day of Pentecost, they were all with one accord / And a sound came from heaven like a rushing mighty force.” A rushing might force, huh? Of course, that force is The Holy Spirit, which, if you believe in Trinity, it all comes down to The Most High, GOD.  For a new year, 2023, isn’t it great news when we speak of fresh wind?

“Fresh Wind / Fill the house / Fill the house with Your presence.” The Your is key – merciful, all-powerful, and omniscient.  On this highlight from his 2010 album, 💿 Here I Am, the premise is simple yet requires faith. Sapp speaks about the greatness of God – his abilities to perform miracles. He constantly references The Day of Pentecost, hence why he cites “The Bible as a witness” to “Feel Him in the air.” Sapp did not write this inspiring song – that was 🎼 ✍ Jonathan Dunn – but him, assisted by choir, do a marvelous job of performing  and highlighting the importance of the text and message.  Long-time Sapp collaborator 🎛 Aaron Lindsey produces this spiritual affair which sounds just a fresh as it did upon its arrival in 2010.  For 2023, we all need a fresh wind!
