KINGSTON, Jamaica- Renowned gospel artiste Dr Carlene Davis has released her second Jenn Johnson cover. The track, titled Holy Forever, made its debut on August 15 via VPal Music, New York.

It followed Goodness of God which is a worldwide phenomenon first recorded by Jenn Johnson through Bethel Music along with her husband Brian, who are members of the writing team, then the likes of CeCe Winans, and so many others. Davis and Christopher Martin have also done a reggae rendition of the same.

“This song is exceptional, it carries the anointing with an invitation to join and sing bringing others to Christ. So when we do this in our own cultural reggae style it reaches yet another demographic for the Kingdom of God. We as believers have that purpose to use the tools provided by the creator to bring ‘the whosoever will’ into the knowledge of Jesus Christ,” Davis told the Jamaica Observer, in explaining the reason behind the cover of Holy Forever.

The rendition comes on the heels of her appearance at the recently held Hi-Pro Denbigh Gospel Extravaganza, on Sunday, August 3, where she ministered the song to a massive crowd that sang along with her.

Writers on Holy Forever include Brian and Jenn Johnson, Phil Wickham, Jason Ingram, Chris Tomlin.

This project was a long time in the making, according to the artiste.

“I’ve been living and singing this song since I first heard it in 2022 by Jenn Johnson. By the time I looked around my spirit was saying it’s time to produce this song. The studio recording and mixing time including overdubs was done in two weeks,” she explained.

Davis is optimistic about the potential of the track globally and is pleased with the quality of work that was contributed to its completion.

“Well it is about the message, therefore we have given our best in excellence of the production, so it’s now up to the public and the media to do their part to the glory of God. It is a contemporary gospel song, recorded by many artistes for that market, but with this new arrangement, we are now appealing to a wider demographic. The message of this song is so strong and convicting, I am convinced that the more people hear the greater the opportunity for men to see and know that we serve a God who is above the limitations of this world and our human experience as described by John in Revelation 4,” she said.

Davis is expected to sing the song in Half-Way Tree Square, in St Andrew, at a mass prayer rally on Sunday, August 31 when the JUGC (Jamaica Umbrella Groups of Churches) presents ‘Jamaica Pray’.
