George Jacobs is a recording artist, songwriter and musician who humbly characterizes himself as a “music minister” and rightfully so as he expresses his Christian faith with an unwavering passion – – – figuratively, wearing it like a badge of honor and physically manifesting his spirituality through his exceptional musical talents.

Jacobs has crafted an extraordinarily diversified catalog of music throughout his career which not only encapsulates Christian, faith-focused songs such as “I am Chosen”, “Jesus is Lord” and Spiritual Dimensions”, but he has also crafted motivational songs such as “Sky’s the Limit”, in addition to pieces that tackle the subject of romance like “What I Feel For You” just to name a few examples.

His sound is dynamically multi-dimensional and encompasses a wide variety of genres including pop, R&B, soul, EDM and even elements of jazz as displayed in particular with his instrumental album release of 2022, Under the Influence.

In his latest effort, Jacobs continues his religious based music journey with his new single titled “Stand by Me”, produced by Eric Tacktikos and released via the 2nd Chance Records label.

“Stand By Me” stands as a bold and formidable profession of personal faith by Jacobs while also serving as a song of enlightenment and inspiration for those who may be experiencing difficult circumstances. The lyrics possess an engaging profoundness as they profess that a beacon of hope exists for us all even in the darkest of times….and those beams of light can be sought through prayer and faith.

Jacobs explains the song’s concept in further detail as he states, “the song is the struggles of life, and having the one and love Jesus Christ STAND BY ME, In all of life’s issue’s. Life is Hard enough, we need a Savior to Stand By us and walk us through Life’s difficulties. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Jesus Christ Amen and Amen”.

While presenting a topic with such an empowering message, I found it masterful how Jacobs incorporates the religious lyricism of the song within the construct of an infectious, afrobeat infused instrumentation. The overall soundscape of “Stand By Me” is warm and inviting and has a buoyant feel that’s prone to lift your spirits which is tremendously fitting given the song’s concept. The melodies and background harmonies work in conjunction with Jacobs’ impassioned vocal performance to create a song that can conjure up emotions in listeners two fold – – – via its words and other worldly sounds.

George Jacobs Bio

I am a Music Minister who uses music to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. On my music, I mix, record, produce, and do all of the film editing. I’m signed to a music supervisor and have 37 songs on television right now. It’s not a big deal; the royalties are small, but it shows that my music has some worth. In my music, I have discovered my true calling, and with it comes a huge reward that the world cannot provide. I serve a higher power, Jesus Christ, and people are requesting that I pray for them all over the world through his music.

I am hearing from people who have been healed. It’s important to remember that healing comes from God, not from me. The Healer is Jesus. I am the Vessel. For the greater good, I’ll keep going. What’s the most valuable thing I can do with my music is to save souls, and Bless others through my music. As a result, I serve the Kingdom of God rather than the world. What God has in store for us is far greater than what the world has in store for us. The Way, the Truth, and the Life is Through Jesus Christ. Your Humble servant George Jacobs.

I have found my True calling in my Music, and with that is a High reward that the world cannot give. I serve a Higher Power Jesus Christ, and Through his Music, People are coming to him with request to Pray for people all around the world. He is receiving testimony of people being healed. Understand that the Healing does not come from me it comes from God. Jesus is the Healer. I am the vessel.

“Stand By Me” Lyrics

I have been feeling so cold, cold inside

but ever since I found you lord, I feel all right

And even though I’m walking in the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil, cause I have inside

Lord you created me for such a time like this that’s why am running to you lord come take over

And even though I’m feeling like I’m losing it I know it’s the devil confusing me

I’m running to you Lord I’m hiding in you Lord, under your arms

Stand by me, stand by me , stand by me x 4

(Stand by me ! The hour has come lord!

The waiting is over, stand by me Jesus

Stand by me, heeeeeeee.

Make me strong like a lion

Lord let me feel your power

cause you’re my everything everything that I desire

I’ve been on the backside of the deserts for 40 years

but right now an feeling am about to enter in the oasis of the promise land

And even though I’m feeling like I’m losing it I know it’s the devil confusing me

I’m running to you Lord I’m hiding in you Lord, under your arms

Stand by me, stand by me , stand by me x 4

Simama na mimi, simama na mimi babaye

Simama na mimi, simama na mimi yesu

Simama na mimi, simama na mimi babaye

Simama na mimi, oooh simama na mimi…

Simama na mimi baba simama na mimi yesu eeeeh.

(Simama na mimi directly translates to stand by me, Babaye means Father, Yesu means Jesus)

Sifa na utukufu zikurudie, zikurudie, zikurudie Baba x 2

Promise by the king of kings, promise by the lord of lords
