For years I have been watching Pastor (did not know he was a pastor then) Phipps and have been blessed with his voice and that smile that makes me want to smile too. I felt he was from the islands and I finally confirmed it tonight. I am always in awe of the talent of others and love, absolutely love his vocal range, beauty and strength. One of my favorite and most meaningful Bible verses is Jeremiah 29:11, some people dream when they are children,like Pastor Phipps, but sometimes he delays the dreams of others for His own reasons; either way, whether we dream dreams when we are young or old, when they are His dreams, they will be brought to fruition. Our only responsibility is to be available to do our part, rise to the occasion and always, always, give God the Glory. I believe every time Pastor Phipps sings, he is giving God the Glory and I am grateful I get to hear him do so. Be blessed sir.

Praise God… what a strong witness… a real privilege to hear of this man of God. A real valueable ministry also… Kairos is a great ministry inside prisons… you have a program to break the cycle… praise God for this man and his ministries… WOW!

From an 80’s album Color of Love, I need/want/desire to get either sheet music and/or accomp. tracks for HE IS ABLE (written by Jon Mohr, as sung by Phipps.) Anyone have any ideas?

I thank God that Mr. Phipps uses his voice to praise the Living God; and my hope is that everyone who hears his songs will be touched and drawn to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Continue lifting up the Lord in song of praise, Mr. Phipps. God bless you and your family.

Let’s get the history of the song correct.
From NPR.org:
Newton supplied the lyrics, but the tune sung today arrived much later. Turner says that in Newton’s day, the song would have been sung “to another song that fit its meter” — if it were sung at all. And “Amazing Grace” continued to be associated with a number of different tunes throughout much of the 19th century. In 1835, “…the tune that we now sing… was married to the words of John Newton,” Turner says. That same year a South Carolina singing instructor named William Walker published a widely popular hymn book combining the now-familiar tune with Newton’s words.

I also found several references to the melody being Irish or Scottish and seemed to be written for the bagpipes. The melody was originally taken from a tune called “New Britain”.

This Trinidadian is an amazing singer. He would have been an excellent calypsonian but he is using his God given talent for a higher service

I can’t believe he never had a manager or an agent…on second thought; GOD is his manager/agent “he placed a dream with in his heart…” look at this link how God has used him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1LcUtaps7k
