Pastor Jumu Grant releases worship song
Pastor Jumu Grant has years of experience as a praise and worship leader and he has put all of this experience into his latest project, a single titled Jesus I Love You.
Commenting on the inspiration behind the single, Grant said he was sitting in his vehicle one day reflecting on his life and what God was doing presently in it.
“My producer sent me a track for a song, but when I heard the track it was not fitting for that particular song. In that moment as I was reflecting, I began to sing, ‘Jesus I love you, you’re the one that I adore every day, I love you more and more’ and I was like, this is the song for this track,” he related.
Released last December, Grant is hoping it will find its way into many listeners’ ears. Born and raised in the twin-island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Grant was influenced musically by his grandfather Reverend Isaiah Cummings, a renowned man of God.
He said it was because of his grandfather that he first started singing, and was eventually baptised at the age of 14. By age 19, he was working in the oil and gas sector and shortly after met his wife, Keisha. They got married in 2006 and migrated to Canada, where he met his spiritual father Pastor Leon Bogle, senior pastor of I Am Blessed Ministries. In 2018, Grant was ordained as a pastor.
“I do enjoy the call upon my life. It’s not an easy task, but I enjoy seeing people fulfil their purpose, understanding the call upon their lives, and overall winning. I believe that there must be balance in order for things or life to work efficiently and effectively. My first line of ministry will always be in my home and with my family. If that’s out of order, then I can’t stand on a pulpit to help others when mine is out of order,” he said.
