2) From the mouth of Kirk Franklin, “Jai is the next BIG thing.”
Jai (pronounced Jay), of St. Louis Missouri, is a third generation minister and worship leader who knew at an early age that music would be a part of her life. By the age of nine Jai was a key player in the music ministry and today, with more than 20 years in the field of ministry, Jai has served as: Youth Pastor, Retreat and Conference Facilitator, Speaker, Teacher, Minister of Music and featured guest in churches worldwide including The Potters House led by Bishop T.D.

On her debut, Jai managed to masterfully mix Hip-Hop, CCM, Pop, Praise & Worship, Gospel and Dance Music all in one sitting without compromising the gospel. Many of the songs have cross over appeal and can easily be heard on mainstream radio. Her vocals and heart shine bright on heartfelt songs like Savior, Reflection and You Deserve My All, in which the chorus beautifully boasts: “Open my eyes and I will walk your way yeah, every single day yeah, you deserve my all Lord, you deserve it, Open my mouth and I will shout your praise yeah, louder every day yeah, you deserve my all Lord, you deserve it”.

Chorus
Sitting here, don't really understand how
Someone so quote unquote dedicated could be so stressed out
Head hurting, heart beating
Home life (I never see it)
If I'm really doing everything for Your purpose
I've gotta stop and put my hands up in submission to Your will
Chorus:
I surrender to Your heart
I surrender to Your love for me
Not my will (NO) only Yours
I say Yes, I wanna say Yes
V2:
No more chains, liberty
Since I laid down
All things that set themselves higher than what you have planned out for me
I chose to live for You, my mind has been renewed
Incarcerate my heart now never release me don't let go
Chorus
In Jai's song "Yes", the artist talks about feeling stressed out despite being dedicated to a certain cause. The chorus highlights this feeling of being lost and unsure of what's expected of them. The lyrics convey a sense of surrender to a higher power and a willingness to put one's faith in that power instead of fighting against it. The singer states that they know this is not the way they were designed to be and that they must stop fighting against their purpose.
Throughout the song, there is an emphasis on surrendering to a divine will and accepting one's place in the world. Jai describes this as an act of liberation, as they no longer feel weighed down by the burdens of trying to be something they're not. Instead, they can be free and open to the possibilities that come with accepting a life guided by a higher power.
Overall, "Yes" is a powerful message about the importance of surrendering to a greater force in order to find peace and fulfillment in life. The lyrics offer reassurance that it's okay to let go and trust in something greater than ourselves.
