“There’s a story in John 4 that I’m always reminded of; it’s the story about the woman at the well. As Jesus was talking to her, He addressed various issues in her life, and then He told her, “You worship what you don’t know and what you don’t understand. But the time is coming and now is when the true worshippers will worship, and will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” And that’s the scripture for me. It really brings everything home.”

– Ayiesha Woods in an interview with the Gospel Music Channel

Her first album Introducing Ayiesha Woods was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album and for the Dove Award for New Artist Of The Year. Her second and latest release, Love Like This, came out in September 2008.

Woods’ style of music can be described as an eclectic mix of Christian pop and soul, and some compare her sound and style to “a blend of India Arie and Amy Grant”.

Blair Wingo of the Passion for Christ Movement, a youth and young adult church/movement located in Los Angeles, recites her powerful, original poem, “Don’t Add On,” and gives her testimony in the poem “All My Devotion Was Emotion.” In her poems, Wingo always tells it like it is, never tip-toeing around issues in the church, and conveying the meaning of a true relationship with God.

This song carries so much power, of the things God has done and what has yet to come. From Chris Tomlin’s album “Hello Love”. Video by Nick Lanciaux.

Give Me Your Eyes the Song of the Year winner from this year’s Dove Awards.

"Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
Ones that are far beyond my reach.
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see." – Brandon Heath, (Dove Awards 2009 Male Vocalist of the Year)

Here is Mary Mary’s official video “I Worship You” from from the album “The Sound.”
