Destiny -Tracks Description:
1. Weeping ‘n Mourning – Relays the message of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, told from the perspective of Mary who came to the tomb on the third day and did not find the body of Jesus there. It is the "third day."
2. No Badda Get Weary – This vibrant and captivating reggae riddim encourages believers to continue in their walk of faith, while valuing their souls more worthy of heaven’s gain, than all that this world has to offer.
3. Armed ‘n Dangerous – Yes, believers it is true. We are 'Armed 'n Dangerous'. this song resounds an old-school vibrant melody and a message that encourages believers to put on the whole armour of God each day, in order to overcome in the battles of life and to reach their final destination-heaven.
4. Yours – Ringing out a unique style of reggae riddim that captivates you from the very first note, 'Yours' takes one back to the sounds of Bob Marley and his contemporary, Peter Tosh. This song resounds a message of hope and assurance from the one who is called, among many other names, 'Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Root of David, One Who Prevails.' No matter what situation we face in life, we can rest assured that the love of God will penetrate the darkness that surrounds us. His love will caress our heart until we yield our spirit, soul and body to Him. Consequently, as we feel his warm embrace eradicating our darkness we can confidently say, 'I AM YOURS, TRULY YOURS.'
5. Destiny – A beautiful love song of worship and adoration to the Lord coupled with a melodious reggae riddim, sweeter than honey, this song was inspired by the Holy Spirit to my heart one morning after devotion. In the fullness of time, Christ came to earth as a babe but for a purpose. It is God's redemptive work through his Son Jesus Christ that is worth all our worship, love and praise that resonates with every beat of our heart. He was destined to come to earth to die for the sins of mankind and show us a better way to live. Simultaneously, we are destined to go back to God after we exit this earth.
6. La Conquista – Do you want to go on an exotic journey? Look no further, as the producer of La Conquista, Kenn Lewis, skillfully engages various instruments of praise in a smooth reggaeton style, along with the charming voice of the writer of the song, Joy Creed, leads you on a 'non-voilent' path of conquest and victory. La Conquista means ‘the conquest’ and depicts the battle of Jericho as stated in the book of Joshua. Believers must overcome every ‘Jericho’ in this life and live in the fullness of God’s provision. Believe it. Claim it, 'See di wall come tumbling down.'
7. Jehovah Rohi (Psalm 23) feat. Kirk Davis – Enjoy the 'anointed and heavenly sounding' voices of Joy Creed, Kirk Davis, as they blend melodiously with the Creed's Melody Makers on this ‘roots reggae’ style song that delivers a message of comfort and assurance of God’s goodness and mercy to guide us along life’s journey.
8. Deliverer – This is a one-drop, soul stirring reggae riddim conveys a message of deliverance. Moses, the servant of God, stands at the burning bush in awe, as God called and gave him a great commission to go and deliver his children from bondage in Egypt. Believers are also called and commissioned to use their gifts and talents to go and deliver souls.
9. Jehovah Shalom – Just when you ask yourself, does God really care about the situation that I am facing, how I can't sleep at night or even find a job in this economic instability?' Jehovah Shalom shows up to rebuke the storm clouds and speak peace. Once more, producer Kenn Lewis, unveils his artistry in music, coupled with the breathtaking voice of Joy Creed and backed by the Creed's Melody Makers, to thrill your heart and soul with this soothing song of worship to our awesome and mighty God of Peace. Shalom.
10. Cry – "Crank" up the reggae riddim to a 'Iah' level. Masterfully created and sung in a combined style of ‘reggae/rap’ this song is dedicated to the youths of today’s generation. It echoes a message of one being “destined for greatness, beauty, and dignity.” We must pray and cry for them to heed this holy calling. This is the only solution to the pandemic of sin that has possessed and taken over the lives of so many of our young people today. Everytime I sing this song, I am deeply moved. Listen and hear for yourself and 'Cry' for them.
11. Praise – Fashioned in a unique style of music called ‘SOCA’ and coins a message of the battle cry using the weapon of praise, this song will keep you rocking for days un-ending. It is "cool but deadly." The melody takes you back to the Islands. This is a must have.
12. Home – Delivers a message of hope, comfort and strength after all that we experience in this life to know that one of these morning, God himself will wipe the tear from our eyes, sorrow, death, every mourning will all flee away and we will be home, sweet home forevermore.
13. Diverse 'n Strong - This reggae song is celebratory and festive and is written from the perspective of an immigrant who is proud to call Toronto home for many years. The song evoke Toronto’s breathtaking , vibrant and sparkling spirit, while sentimentally paying homage to the City’s astounding unity and strength in its incomparable diversity. Happy 175th Toronto.
14. Hallowed - This song of deep prayer and worship to the one who alone is holy, is fashioned in the style of a smooth reggae dub riddim. Enjoy His presence, and join with the angels, as with hands lifted up we give glory, power and majesty to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
