I WILL WALK WITH JESUS | THE SANCTIFIED SISTERS

The Sanctified Sisters didn’t just stumble into their signature sound—they strutted into it, heels clicking on the pavement, harmonies tighter than a church potluck schedule. Their latest track, “I Will Walk With Jesus”, is a soul-powered, LDS hymn reimagined with the kind of groove that makes even the most reserved Saints tap their feet.

But let’s rewind. It’s 1986. Gospel music is shifting, and these three powerhouse sisters from Philly—who once harmonized on the front steps of their local meetinghouse—have already proven that you don’t need a tabernacle choir to testify. You just need faith, a killer bassline, and maybe a tambourine or two.

Legend has it this song was born during an impromptu jam session after they accidentally locked themselves in an arcade overnight (long story, involves a malfunctioning Pac-Man machine). The flashing lights, the synth-heavy background noise, the spiritual realization that Jesus walks with us even when we're stuck between a Galaga console and a soda machine—it all clicked. The next morning, “I Will Walk With Jesus” had a melody, a groove, and a destiny.

This song is a testimony wrapped in a bassline, a sermon set to a snare drum, a love letter to the Savior in the key of soul. The Sisters don’t just sing about walking with Jesus—they turn it into a full-blown strut.
