Delivering an electrifying gospel performance with other hits like ‘Nothing but the Blood of Jesus, One Day at a Time, Behold He Comes and Walking on the King's Highway, Davis' familiar voice and well-known songs meant the audience was able to sing along.
Ms Davis of Jamaica also performed a gospel version of the lover’s rock hit ‘Stealing Love on the Side,” while reminding the audience that there’s never a time when there is not a need for Jesus.
As the evening progressed, she delivered a short sermon while inviting the Premier, Dr the Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) and the rest of the VIP’s 2023 elections candidates.
Candidate held hands to a rendition of One Love
The candidates, as well as the entire audience, were told to hold hands while she delivered a cover of Bob Marley’s “One Love” to close out the performance.
Meanwhile, Premier Wheatley said bringing Ms Davis to the Virgin Islands came as part of a decision to go full gospel for the 2023 campaign.
He said once that decision was made, everything fell into place.
“What we have is more than just a VIP rally, what we have is a redemption rally," he said.
The over 5-hour long event also featured performances by Brent D. Hoyte and Oneyke, backed by the High-Frequency Band.
