about

As a contemporary SoulJazz artist with gospel roots, I feel strongly that in some songs I need to make known without any ambiguity that I believe in Jesus Christ. Too often for the sake of money and popularity artists often feel they will exclude listeners by singing gospel. I was brought up listening to caribbean folk songs, hymns and gospel songs and it is how I fell in love with music and learnt the deep-meaning of spirituality through music.

I hope you enjoy and are blessed by this song.

lyrics

Ooooh …….
Ooooh ……
Loving then it’s leaving
Coming then it’s going
A feeling’s overtaking my mind
Someone told me this would happen
Being young is overated
Oh..oh … I know I need you … you so

Mistakes, regrets and failed attempts is life
But still I need to know that you are mine for all time

Now I see with open eyes the future’s mine and yours
….. Open eyes
Optimism’s in my view …….. with Jesus I’m brand new

Open Eyes

You know it really took me this just to find
You know a love like your’s is one of a kind
Lord I really really love you
In your word you said something, did something
Gave your life …

Friends say to turn away and look behind
But I don’t really wanna go that way no …
To trailblaze this love with you’s the prize….. the prize

Chorus x 2
Now I see with open eyes the future’s mine and yours
Open eyes
Optimism’s in my view …….. with Jesus I’m brand new

Guitar solo

Friends say to turn away and look behind
To trailblaze this love with you’s the prize….. the prize

Now I see with open eyes I see the future’s mine and yours
Open eyes
I’ll keep looking on the bright side …
You make me smile
Now I see with open eyes the future’s mine and yours
Open eyes
Optimism’s in my view …….. with Jesus I’m brand new
