By the 11th grade a brief encounter with Gerald Levert led to an audition, Jason and David became the R&B group Men At Large barely out of high school. Their self titled debut album and their sophomore recording, One Size Fits All catapulted the young adults to the stratosphere singing. David desired to go solo and the record label wished to sever ties. A chance reintroduction with Kirk Franklin, with whom he had been acquainted during his Men At Large days, led to Champion’s contribution on Franklin’s Hero album and tour, beginning in March 2005. While on tour with Mary Mary, Champion became acquainted with Erica Campbell’s husband, famed producer, Warryn Campbell. When Franklin decided to downsize in February 2007, Champion and Campbell stayed connected. Campbell produced Champion, alongside his wife Erica who contributed vocals to the uptempo, bouncy track β€œAlways. Co-written with songwriter/producer/artist Eric Dawkins, the song thankfully β€œis about being encouraged. Reflections also carries three other ageless tracks from that period in Champion’s life including β€œFind A Reason,” β€œFor Better or For Worse,” a duet with his wife, Paula and β€œHe Is the Way.” All Champion needed was a simple piano to convey his whole heart and love of Jesus Christ on β€œHe Is the Way.”

Are You Ready?

Are you ready, it's almost time
Ooh he's coming back y'all, like a thief in the night
Are you ready, Are you ready, Are you ready oh now

It maybe morning, night or noon
I don't Know, but its going to be soon
Are you ready, Are you ready, Are you ready
And ooh, when we all, get to Heaven
That's the day when, we'll be shouting
Ooh That's the day when,
that we're going to be so glad, ooh that we're ready
(Are you ready, Are you ready,)

Listen, Do you Know him, as your King
Lord And Savior of everything
Are you ready, Are you ready, Are you ready
(Are you Ready Are you Ready)

When we all get up to Heaven
That's the day when, we'll be shouting
Cause we'll be so glad, ooh so glad
We were ready
(Are you Ready Are you ready)

I Cant Wait, for that day,
No more trouble, it's all gone away
I Can't wait, to see my Saviors Face
(Are You Ready Are You Ready)
Would your Soul be Lost, If He came back today, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Got My things all ready, cause I don't want to be late
Oh oh oh oh the day, on that day
I Just want to be ready on that day (woah wo ah Ahhhhhh)

And ooh ooh ooh be Ready, Oh be Ready, Oh Be Ready

Ooh ooh ooh when He cracks the sky (Be Ready Be Ready)
Oooh ooh ooh oooh




Will We Meet In The great By and By (ahhhhhhh)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
