Dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel stunned fans with a gospel song, expressing deep reverence and praise for Jesus Christ. On Monday, the entertainer released a touching rendition of Grace Thrillers’ hit song The Glory of Jesus. This beloved Jamaican gospel track has touched many hearts with its uplifting message.
Vybz Kartel begins his song with a prayer, asking God to “use me as a vessel to spread your word and your gospel to the ends of the world.”
The song is a joyful and worshipful expression of how beautiful, powerful, and transformative Jesus’ presence is. The single encourages listeners to draw closer to Him and prepare for His return with its core message that focuses on the awe-inspiring presence of Jesus, His glory, majesty, and power.
In the song, he sings, “Oh, the glory of Jesus shines brighter and brighter.” This line mentions how the closer he gets to Jesus (through faith, prayer, and spiritual connection), the more he experiences His light, love, and goodness in his life.
The lyrics also refer to Jesus as the “soon-coming King”. This reflects a strong belief in His second coming, that He will return to the world as King and Saviour.
This song comes 2 months after he released the music video for his hit dancehall gospel single God Is The Greatest. Time and time again, Vybz Kartel, known for his raw and gritty dancehall songs, has shown his reverence to God as he emphasises a renewed focus on his career, his family and God following his release from prison.
Vybz Kartel’s latest gospel songs could hint at a possible shift in his musical direction to include a blend of gospel-inspired tracks in his discography. Following the release, fans have been showing their support, expressing their appreciation for the new direction and welcoming the fresh music that honours God.
