Blessings All....


Mary, did you know 
that your Baby Boy 
would one day walk on water? 
Mary, did you know 
that your Baby Boy 
would save our sons and daughters? 
Did you know 
that your Baby Boy 
has come to make you new? 
This Child that you delivered 
will soon deliver you. 

Mary, did you know 
that your Baby Boy 
will give sight to a blind man? 
Mary, did you know 
that your Baby Boy 
will calm the storm with His hand? 
Did you know 
that your Baby Boy 
has walked where angels trod? 
When you kiss your little Baby 
you kissed the face of God? 

Mary did you know.. 

The blind will see. 
The deaf will hear. 
The dead will live again. 
The lame will leap. 
The dumb will speak 
The praises of The Lamb. 

Mary, did you know 
that your Baby Boy 
is Lord of all creation? 
Mary, did you know 
that your Baby Boy 
would one day rule the nations? 
Did you know 
that your Baby Boy 
is heaven's perfect Lamb? 
The sleeping Child you're holding 
is the great "I am"

Clay Aiken Lyrics

Mary Did You Know?

At times we lovers can all use a little soul searching. Here's a song which has always resonated for me; written by two of my favorite writers; Thom Bell and Linda Creed and made famous by the Styilistics whom I recently performed with in Memphis.

Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)

Gregory Abbott returns with his single "My Heart Has Found A Home", a romantic RnB inspired love song.

My Heart Has Found A Home

a light Island flavored danceable tune about the hope of one day finding love.

Searchin' 4 The 1

Let's work "together" for the safety, well being, health and happiness of us all. We can win if we work as a team. Stay safe everyone.... Blessings, Gregory

written performed and produced by Gregory Abbott. Backgrounds: Gregory Abbott, Aida Foreman and Abbott & Company.

Wha gwan mi bruddah
(What's going on my brother)

Nuff respect pon ya
(Much respect to you)

Irie
(nice... good... pleasing)

CHORUS
Got work to do now haven't we seen enough
can't let hate corrupt us
now its time to open our hearts
and see that what we really need is trust
and a little help from above.

VERSE
We both know
it wasn't long ago
when we worked together
and even though we had troubles
I knew that you were my brother

We find ourselves so far apart
but its now or never
in the end I believe we can win

We can fix this thing together
the future's not set in stone

Lets heal this thing forever
cause one day we're all
going "home"
it won't be long....

CHORUS
Got work to do now haven't we seen enough?
can't let hate corrupt us
now its time to open our hearts
and see that what we really need is trust
and a little help from above.

Haven't We Seen Enough?

Now there was a time
I do recall
Cause it was not that long ago
I used to worry night and day
Just like you

Then I found out
One simple thing
I learned that worrying
doesn't change a thing
And those in the know
They just roll on with the flow

CHORUS
Why don't you Chill?
Don’t trouble your mind
You really aint got no worries
Things be makin you ill?
You should be takin your time
Cause it’s a long long journey
You really should chill
Look for a sign
Don't let your life get blurry

So there you stand
You've got a master plan
Perfect in every point of view
You circle it closely
So that you can see it through

Time to leave it alone In the end
You can only do the best that you can
And fates gonna do
What fate Is gonna do
You know it true
So you might as well
might as well Chill

Chorus
Why don't you Chill?
Don’t trouble your mind
You really aint got no worries
Things be makin you ill?
You should be takin your time
Cause it’s a long long journey
You really should chill
Look for a sign
Don't let your life get blurry
