Liner notes

"Rely Upon Jesus" is a mellow, pensive tune that meshes intimate story-telling in a traditional jazz mode, wrapped around a walking bass and clean piano. "Rely Upon Jesus" reflects Vikki's years as a jazz singer and her understanding of the potential of that genre as a gospel medium. The song has received praise for both music and lyric.

Rely Upon Jesus…
Rely Upon Jesus…

I was coming to a crossroads
A very painful time in my life.
I didn’t feel successful as woman,
a mother, a wife.
My walk it was rocky
and I questioned all the faith I knew.
Then my Savior reassured me saying,
“Trust me child, I do love you.”

(Then said)
Don’t forget I’m always near
Seek me I am here
Rely on your Jesus child
I won’t leave you or forsake you dear.

Do nothing in your own strength
Just have faith in Me.
Rely upon Jesus.

He says have faith the size of a mustard seed
And mountains you will move today
But there are times like this morning where
I really don’t feel that way!
You see people all around me work
to bring me down with their lies.
And I forget to up and run away,
Looking fast to the heavenly skies!!

(Cause He says)
Don’t forget your royal birth
Don’t lose sight of what your worth
Rely Upon Jesus, child!
He won’t leave you in an awful lurch.

Don’t put stock in worldly things
No matter what they bring
Rely upon Jesus

The One who made heaven and earth
is available to us each day!
Father, Son and Spirit,
Alive and well in us today!
So when you face life’s problems,
Be encouraged by what you know is true.
Christ’s same resurrection power
Is available to you!!!

Don’t forget I’m always near
Seek Me I am here
Rely upon Jesus, child
He won’t leave you or forsake you dear.

(He said)
Do nothing in your own strength
Just have faith in Me
Rely upon Jesus

Interlude

The One who made heaven and earth
Is available to us each day!
Father, Son and Spirit, yes
Alive and well in us today!
So when you face life’s problems,
Be encouraged by what you know is true.
Christ’s same resurrection power
Is available to you!!!

Rely upon Jesus, child.
I won’t leave you or forsake you dear.
Do nothing in your own strength
Just have faith in Me
Rely upon Jesus

Don’t forget your royal birth
Don’t lose sight of what your worth
Rely upon Jesus, child.
He won’t leave you in an awful lurch.

Don’t put stock in worldly things
No matter what they bring
Rely upon Jesus
