Candi Staton - Sin Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1984)

This is an August 17, 1984 taping of Candi Staton's former Trinity Broadcasting Network TV show "New Direction." This song is the first gospel song Staton wrote after leaving her R&B career in 1982. Her sister Maggie Staton-Peebles and Falicia Calloway do background vocals. On drums: John Sussewell, keyboards: Randy Harper, bass: Don Jones, guitar: Will McFarlane, and keyboardist Joey Holder. More than half of these people played on the "Make Me An Instrument" LP that featured this song. It peaked at #7 on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart in 1983.

[@edmondthomas1890]

Thank you thank you

[@SussQuatch]

Being married to Candi @ the time (until 1999), I'm the drummer. The year was 1985-86 when this was taped at Trinity Broadcasting under the banner of "New Direction," our program on the network. In Christ, I will always love Candi Staton-Sussewell (as we were known back then - a team till death do us part). It didn't work out that way - she left and we're both still here on Earth with Skin. John Sussewell a.k.a. SussQuatch a.k.a Suss!

[@rowenamcmahon175]

[@davideisler1965]

[@trisfred1872]

I listened to her music before she became a gospel singer and loved her singing but there was such a difference when she sang Gospel and the anointing in her singing brought me out of many low points in life ::::but haven't heard her in the gospel arena lately It's the anointing that breaks yokes (remember) the songI just wish you would read this and get back to pulling down satan's kingdom and building the kingdom of our LORD

[@lenisewifi6334]

Glory, glory, glory!

[@asarose4680]

I enjoyed her on tbn ,new directions.

[@helenebihor5488]

Praise God for beautiful lyrics so full praising God

[@bernicesmith1696]

What a song that expresses the love an individual has for the lord. To focus on giving up worldly pleasures that can cost us our salvation. We must be ready to me him. Our temple must abide with the holy bible in our to see his face.

Thank you Jesus!! I remember when she sang this song after her change over to gospel. I felt her spirit and even though other people didn't believe her I did. And it sent chills down my body till this day. And that's why I learn it and sing it now. Candi Staton you just don't know you change someone's life that DAY. (MINE) Love you , Be Blessed!!!! I could never do this song justice. But I can sing it from MY HEART to bring someone else to Jesus!

"This body of mine is his temple His home away from home I must keep it spotless, for him It must stay ready fro his coming Swept clean with truth and love That's why sin doesn't leave here anymore We can't afford to let sin reign in our mortal bodies, to obey the lust they have. Our bodies are the only temple That the holy spirit can dwell in Until Jesus comes back, and he said "Behold i come quickly and my reward is With me to give every man according As his wish shall be" and His coming back and every eye shall see him and everytongue must confess That he's Lord of Lords and he's King of Kings And he reigns forever more... Sin doesn't live here anymore Sin doesn't live here anymore God's temple, oh it must be holy I must stay ready to greet him That's why sin doesn'yt live here anymore Sin doesn't live here anymore Sin doesn't live here anymore God's temple, oh it must be holy I must stay ready to greet him That's why sin doesn'yt live here anymore..."

[@SussQuatch]

I forget the bass players name out of B'ham Alabama (have to look @ the album), but the I do remember everyone else. Just look @ the vinyl album for proper credits. By the way, that's Candi's sister singing background vocals along with another person's name I can't remember unless looking at this Grammy nominated album from an independent label (Beracah Records) when the so-called movers and shakers were saying we'd never be able. We proved them wrong - BIG Time!... IN CHRIST, of course.
