Woods composes a captivating love letter "First Love”

Ayiesha Woods. A familiar name in the Christian contemporary music scene has returned. Her sophomore albums Introducing Ayiesha Woods and Love Like This were met with rave reviews from various publications praising her versatility and originality as a singer/songwriter. Grammy-nominated for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album and similarly for the Dove Awards for New Artist of the Year, she has made a name for herself. Known for her refusal to stick to one genre, she often mixes pop, soul, urban and rock and even some of her music hearkens back to her Caribbean heritage. She is often compared to Alicia Keys and India Arie, but her unique sound sets her out from being another replica.

Her new single “First Love” is no exception. From the first note, the simple piano draws you in. Her heartfelt lyrics and soulful voice avoid all the usual clichéd pitfalls in this emotive song. Her voice paints a beautiful image with the stripped back piano as her canvas. She has evolved from her previous offerings and for the better.

Her hiatus, though unexplained, may be just what was needed to explore new sounds for her upcoming album. The chorus is beautiful and memorable in its simplicity. There is something to be said for just vocals and a piano and what would normally be a weakness for some proves to be a strength for Woods.

Ayiesha has always said she strives not just to be transparent in her writing but to also move her listeners. “First Love” does exactly that. Like hearing a song you haven’t heard since your childhood brings back memories, this song leaves a lasting impression long after the last note has rung out.

All Glory To God In Christ!

lyrics: 
V1: in the spring I adore You
in the summer I adore You
when the leaves change I adore You
and every winter to remember

this hope - paradise
for every situation
You make beautiful

Chorus: Meet me here 
Meet me here in Your presence
Take me there 
Take me there in Your presence

soon and very soon
when all the stars and moon
align - I’ll be waiting for You

V2: no matter what the world says
still standing in Your grace
and on that day
when marred becomes all Yours

washed up on golden shores
forever Yours

don’t need a reason
Lord Your presence
don’t need a reason
worship Just You
You are Good

Soon And Very Soon

…And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…
~ John 1:14 

Music is everywhere. From dawn to dark, music is heard. Even in utter silence the depths of the human heart cries out. A song is a conversation with God. Music speaks to a heart craving for belonging. The uniqueness of how we connect with lyrics of a song and the artist is the revelation that motivates me to write. On this crossing, I believe the Gospel is told throughout the human condition in every season. In Christ there is life transforming hope that SINGS to every people intimately. With songwriting, it’s my desire is to be that witness to the Lord Jesus Christ’s life…to see hearts saved for eternity. 

Inspired Psalm 40:3

All rights reserved to THE LORD JESUS CHRIST: For FROM HIM and through HIM and FOR HIM are ALL things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen. (Romans 11: 36)
