In fact, this project is very dear to Jai because he is a worshipper extraordinaire. His exceptional vocal talent on this project takes melody and harmony in a completely new direction.

He deliberately opens his heart and let his music evolve into the most worshipful musical story which ends well! At the onset on cut one, you enter His gates with “Praise.” While the “Praise” is going up, you ascend into the “Secret Place.” While in the presence of God -- God confirms to you “I Will Ease Your Pain.” Now, totally assured, you just lose yourself in worship and openly convey “How Much You Mean To Me.” At this point in worship, you cry loud to God, “Cover Me!” Ascending higher and lost in the spirit you tearfully say, “Have I Told You,” Lord I “Love Ya” and “You Alone.” The depths of God’s refreshing presence solidifies the “Joy In Serving God” and you return to the “Secret Place” and “Start Over Again.”. Wow! What an anointed project!
