Hello, friends! Welcome once again to "Spoken In Words-Gospel," where we dive deep into the uplifting melodies that have shaped our spiritual journey. Today, I want to shine a light on a powerful track that reaches countless listeners: “Oh, It Is Jesus” performed by the incredible Tata Vega, from Andrea Crouch’s 1984 album, ‘No Time to Lose’.
Now, this song isn’t just a simple tune; it’s a heartfelt declaration of faith. Tata Vega, with her passionate delivery, brings an undeniable energy that pulls listeners right into the presence of the Lord. You can’t help but feel the warmth and comfort in her voice as she proclaims the truth about Jesus—the One who brings hope in our darkest times.
Andrea Crouch, a giant in gospel music, penned this number with his signature blend of soul and spiritual depth. His ability to join powerful lyrics with a dynamic musical composition is nothing short of genius. In “Oh, It Is Jesus,” the listener is taken on a journey—a testament to the unwavering love and grace of Christ. There's a rich tradition of gospel music that Crouch contributed to, and this track is right at the heart of that legacy.
In 1985, Vega was nominated for Best Soul Female Gospel Performance at the 27th Annual Grammy Awards for her vocals on "Oh, It is Jesus", written by Andrae Crouch.
As we reflect on the message, let’s think about how it speaks to our own lives. In moments of uncertainty and doubt, we can remind ourselves that, yes, it is indeed Jesus who anchors us. It’s a call to recognize the Savior in every circumstance we face. This song, friends, is a beautiful reminder that we are never alone—there’s a divine presence guiding us.
Thank you for tuning into “Spoken In Words-Gospel”! I’m Gail Nobles. Keep the faith, keep singing, and remember: with Jesus, every day is a new opportunity for hope and renewal. Until next time, God bless!
