The Detty Sisters shine in their heartfelt ‘Do You Know How It Feels’ cover. If you’ve never heard any of the McKameys’ sweet songs about Jesus, you should listen to this one.
Originally sung by The McKameys singing group in 1992, The Detty Sisters’ cover transforms the song in the sweetest of ways. Each of the four sisters’ voices is unique, with different pitches, as the oldest is a teenager and the youngest is around six years old. They sing it with less country twang than the McKameys and in a different style, but the result is nonetheless breathtaking.
There’s nothing like a good ‘ole gospel song to bring people together. It’s wonderful to see such young girls singing happily with one another in harmony. They picked a great song to sing, too. “Do You Know How it Feels” is one of those rare, deeply insightful songs that really makes you think about the lyrics:
‘Then how does it feel to know
your a child of the King?
Your Heavenly Father owns everything,
How does it feel to know you are loved?’
The song is all about the relationship a believer has with God and how remarkable it is that Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins. It takes listeners through all of the emotions those of us who are saved have had: the sadness at his death, the knowledge that he’s the maker of the universe, the reassurance that he’s got us in his hands, and more.
While you listen to this song, you might ask yourself, “Do I know how it feels?” I hope so, and if you don’t, I encourage you to seek God and read Romans 3:23, 6:23, 5:8, 10:9-10, and 10:13. Jesus takes the weight of our sins away. Following him is worth the sacrifice.
“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” 1-John 3 :16
