[Intro]
Yeah, I feel sanctified
Yeah, I feel sanctified
Yeah, I feel sanctified

[Verse 1]
I just left my baby's house
And I got the strength I needed
Knowing that the beast of man
Is very hard to please
I\`m so glad the sun is shining
To brighten up the day
'Cause behind last night
I see things in a different way

[Chorus]
Yeah, I feel sanctified
(Feel it, feel it in my soul, yeah)
Yeah, I feel sanctified

[Verse 2]
She led me to the peak of love
And no words could ever describe
Oh, when you get that kind of loving
It\`s a blessing to be alive
Ooh, the sacred feeling
Just blows through my soul
Searching for sanctuary
To rest, it must explode

[Chorus]
Yeah, I feel sanctified (Oh yeah)
Yeah, I feel sanctified

[Verse 3]
She led me to the peak of love
And no words could ever describe
Oh, when you get that kind of loving
It\`s a blessing to be alive
Ooh, the sacred feeling
Just blows through my soul
Searching for sanctuary
To rest, it must explode

[Outro]
Yeah, I feel sanctified (Ooh yeah)
Yeah, I feel sanctified
Yeah, I feel sanctified (Hey, yeah)
Yeah, I feel sanctified
Yeah, I feel sanctified

Commodores

Commodores are an American funk/soul band, which was at its peak in the late 1970s through the mid 1980s. The members of the group met as mostly freshmen at Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in 1968, and signed with Motown in November 1972, having first caught the public eye opening for The Jackson 5 while on tour.
