'The infusion of these Caribbean accents and rythms
with the pure fire of the Holy Spirit
is just what Christ brings us
to ignite within our souls and senses
the Message and Meaning that lives in language.
The living Word...He whom; for love of,
we by the Spirit slay our self absorption,
finding release from self conscousness
and every inhibition,
now sits enthroned in kaiso's kingdom.
He ever enlivens and inspires us
coloring and consuming our prose.
Living love surrounds, captures and compells
our calypso and soca to make His praise glorious.
Rejoice and jump for joy
join in and joy in Him
get caught up in the pulsating and festive rythm
That is calypso and Soca in jubilee!!!
Calling all in Christ in the Caribbean!!
Make the journey beyond the sun, sea and sand
Of Barbados' primal beauty
into the wider and deeper world
Of our cultural expressions.
Gaze amazed upon them now
led captive to grace's exhilarating
and wide open spaces and places
thoughts and themes within He
who was and is and always will be.
Here heritage and legacy
are given face and forceful features
in the telling of our story;
our shame and glory in
lyrics drenched with percussion and steel pan
from the souls and spirits of
past and present prophets and preachers,
thinkers and teachers.
