After 40 Years: Still Sweeping Through the City- The legendary Shirley Caesar is 'still sweeping through the city.' Her tireless ministry in the name of the Lord has spanned 40 years, showing no signs of slowing down. This charismatic pioneer is taking the precious gospel to the masses once again with her newest release, After 40 Years...Still Sweeping Through The City. The album is filled with traditional, spirit-filled hymnals reminiscent of a Holy-Ghost experience. The enjoyable array of ballads including, Peter Don't Be Afraid/Nobody But You Lord/Teach Me Master combine the message that God is all-powerful in any situation. The medley is aimed at building the faith of the listener. The first song is about the Biblical character of Peter and his fear of walking out on the water. The following musical piece is an acknowledgement there is no one but God that can pull us through the trials and hard times we go through. Pastor Caesar goes on to minister about the endless teachings of God on the last chorus, Teach Me Master. The lyrics explore the desire to delve deeper into a spiritual relationship with God. The theme on the album is clear from the beginning. From the exultant, Jesus, I Love Calling Your Name, to the rejuvenating Praise Your Way Through, the messageis a testament of how much God has done in Pastor Caesar's life. From the 60's to the present day, her lyrics have been inspiring us to press forward in Christ, never losing sight of God's ever increasing power ...
