About The Record:

Sweet Communion, by Karen Lafferty, is a Contemporary Christian album that blends her signature light rock and country influences with themes of faith and personal reflection. Recorded under Maranatha! Music, it showcases Lafferty’s heartfelt vocals and songwriting, continuing her mission to spread spiritual messages through music. The album is historically significant as it was part of her work during the peak of the Jesus Movement, reinforcing her influence in Christian music following her iconic song Seek Ye First. No singles from Secret Communication achieved notable chart success, unlike her earlier hit Seek Ye First, which became a widely recognized worship song included in numerous hymnals. The album remains a testament to Lafferty’s dedication to ministry through music, further solidified by her founding of Musicians for Missions in 1981.
