NASHVILLE, TN - (August 30, 2024) - Debut Christian music single,“My Strength Is In The Lord,” released by music industry veteran Jess Ford. The new project was self-penned by Ford with production, engineering, mixing, and all instruments played by Michael Puwal at Univox 1 Inc. in Pensacola, FL. The new music is available for pre-save HERE. 

“My Strength Is In The Lord” is for those who are broken and stuck. This song is about realizing that Jesus can change people and heal broken parts. Jess didn’t know he could, and he did, and it’s so good. Now, she wants to shout about it and praise God for what he has done for her. She is a living miracle whose life is so blessed now that she cannot hide it.

In support of the new music, Jess has also released an official video produced in Pensacola, FL by Nathaniel Guin to accompany her new song. It is scheduled to premiere her official artist YouTube Channel on September 20 at 5:30 PM Pacific HERE

“God has instructed me to give him my voice. He said, "I have more for you, but you must leave the secular world." I heard him loud and clear, so that's what I'm doing. Ever since I made the decision to leave my band, KARMACODA, and step forward into Christian music, I've been writing like crazy and the peace in my heart has been incredible. For years I have had this ache in my stomach, I've been ignoring the holy spirit and I got to a place where I couldn't ignore it anymore. At that moment God showed up and told me what I am instructed to do. So I am doing it. Since then I've felt complete joy and peace. I'm surrendering it all. Do with it what you will Jesus. If this is all it ever is, 'being in alignment with God' and doing what he has instructed me to do, then I have complete peace with it, it's enough. I'm excited to finally be at this point in my singing and songwriting, where I can share what's truly in my heart. It's incredible. 'My Strength Is In The Lord' is about suffering in darkness and how God can come and meet you there, scoop you up, and bring you out of it, he can fix all your broken pieces. I have failed so many times and ignored my calling, but God never gave up on me. Winning all those awards with KARMACODA was the desire of my flesh, so I stayed. I wrote these biblical words and am living by this "Though my flesh and my heart may fail, my strength is in the Lord". None of those awards can make me feel the joy that God does,” shared Jess Ford.

“Jessica's voice is amazing. “My Strength Is In The Lord” is an inspiring song, beautifully sang.” shared producer Michael Puwal.

“You’re spirit lead from the darkness

Held down in bondage I could barely see your light

All of my tears, now they mean nothin’

They’re all for you, I’ll be a living sacrifice

I’ll walk through the fire

I’ll stand in the storm

I’ll praise your holy name 

Like a lion I will roar

 I’ll shout your name

And cease no more

I’ll offer you my pain

And I’ll praise you in this storm

Though my flesh and my heart may fail

My strength is in the Lord

Oh, oh, oh,

Oh, oh, oh,

Oh, oh, oh,

Completely shattered, I was hopeless

You cracked my weakness like a broken pot of clay

You healed and gathered all my pieces

Your grace extends beyond the pain of yesterday …”

About Jess Ford:

Jessica Ford “Jess” is making a huge transition leaving the secular world, boldly jumping head first into the Christian, Praise & Worship genre. To must people leaving a multi award winning band sounds crazy, especially when the band has garnered support from reputable online publications such as EARMILK, CLASH Magazine, Wonderland Magazine, NOTION Mag, Magnetic Mag, Hotpress, Metal Magazine, Medium, Backseat Mafia, CelebMix, Son Of Marketing, VENTS Magazine, HMWL, EDM Identity, Faze Magazine, and Decoded Mag and their her work has earned her many awards, including the Hermes Creative Award (Platinum) and the Unglued Music Video (Gold) along with multiple Telly Awards but she is. She’s ready to move forward, God has called her to offer her voice to him as a living sacrifice and she is ready to honor and obey.

Prior to the band, when Jess lived in Nashville, TN she was writing with Nashville’s elite. Once of which was Duane Deemer “Cowboy” and together they were honored with a Dove Family Film Award, Winners of the 2013 Best Song In an Animated Film, Winner of the Youth Excellence Awards, Winner of the Alaska Film Festival Kodiak Award for “Best Children’s Song In Film”, Winner of the USCAFA (United States Children’s Animated Film Award) Crystal Award winner for the song “I Do Believe”, Winner of the Dove Family Film Seal Award, Winner of the Pickleberry Award for ‘Best Family Film’ and ‘Best Score’ in an animated film for “I Can Fly”. They are the Winners of the Great Lakes Film Festival Award for ‘Best Animated Film’, Winner of the ‘Parents Choice Award’ and Winner of the ‘Oregon Family Film Festival Crystal Award’. Jess and Duane wrote songs that were placed in a children’s animated film. One of the songs, “Waiting For Christmas Day,” was recorded by Grammy Award winner Linda Davis.

One of Jess’s favorite accomplishments during her Nashville days is she was the recipient of the the 2011 TSAI (Tennessee Songwriters Association) honorary “Hall Of Fame Award” (Hallman Award) given only to a very elite group of music industry professionals. ?

Jessica is a vocalist in every sense of the word, and she not only has been singing professionally but she has been training and coaching singers for 20 years. She was deemed “Nashville’s Premiere Vocal Coach” for 10 years until she moved to California in 2015 which turned out to be a huge leap forward in her coaching career. She gave her teaching business over to God and he has blessed it beyond her wildest imagination. Jess has helped more than 18 singers get a “golden ticket” on American Idol, and she has helped 3 singers reach incredible heights on The NBC Voice and it doesn’t stop there. Along with American Idol & The Voice, Jessica has coached singers who appeared on AGT, Country Music's "Can You Duet" featured at The Grand Ole Opry.

Recently Jess has been in the multi-award-winning band KARMACODA for the past nine years. Honored by Santa Clara, and San Jose California being awarded the title ‘BEST OF’ in the music teachers category for 5 consecutive years in a row, putting her in the Business Hall Of Fame but none of this, none of these accomplishments are more important than the work she is doing next. Writing, singing and recording music for her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
