The Pulse of Entertainment: Songwriter/Producer Jim Vierra Enlists Grammy Nominated Ron Poindexter on New Single
‘Jesus Lift Me Up'
by Dr. Eunice Moseley
(January 14, 2025) - "This is his third project with me," said songwriter/producer Jim
Vierra about Grammy nominated Ron Poindexter who is the vocalist on Jim's new single "Jesus
Lift Me Up" (Fifty Something Records). "He not only sings it...he puts his take on it. We met last
year I brought him on for two songs, ‘Just One Touch' and ‘Holy of Holy.' Then we started talking back and forth."
Aside from
writing Gospel/Christian songs, Vierra has a catalog of Country and Smooth Jazz songs. This time Vierra collaborates with
Nigerian born Gospel singer Ron Poindexter on "Jesus Lift Me Up."
"I wrote the song off the tail of two
other songs I had just finished," Jim told me when I asked. "I had been praying about something to be a motivational
song...that people will say, ‘That's what I needed to hear today.' It is not just a song, it's a promise."
Vierra
explained that people often ask, "God where are you?" The Nashville natives' song reminds them that God is there
with them "lifting them up" and through their situations and circumstances.
Ron brings that soulful voice to
"Jesus Lift Me Up" worthy of the accolades he has garnered thus far - a Grammy nomination and two African Gospel
Music and Media Awards.
"When I write music...I feel what the Lord gives me," Jim explained as we ended
our
interview. www.JimVierra.com
