WE THANK THE, O GOD, FOR A PROPHET | BY THE SANCTIFIED SISTERS

The Sanctified Sisters never set out to revolutionize LDS music—but when you put three powerhouse vocalists from Philly in a room with a Hammond organ, a tambourine, and a testimony, something divine is bound to happen. Raised on choir harmonies and the undeniable pull of R&B soul, these women didn’t just sing their faith—they funkified it.

In 1980, fresh off a particularly spirited Sunday service, they found themselves asking: What if you could groove while giving thanks? What if LDS hymns had the same soul-shaking energy as a Saturday night jam session? The result? We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet—an electrifying fusion of gospel funk and pure, unfiltered testimony.

Taking inspiration from LDS Prophets and the guiding light of Joseph Smith, this track isn’t just a hymn—it’s a movement. A celebration of modern revelation wrapped in a bassline that could convert even the most rhythmically challenged Saints.

And while they may have been known for causing an impromptu dance revival or two at youth conferences, The Sanctified Sisters never lost sight of their mission: to praise God, uplift spirits, and make sure every Latter-day Saint knew that faith and funk go hand in hand.

So whether you're two-stepping in the pews or just nodding your head in quiet reverence, remember: the gospel’s got groove, and The Sanctified Sisters are here to make sure you feel it.
