Jason is also and accomplished bassist. He has accompanied many Gospel artists such as Kim Burrell Ted & Sheri, Yolanda Adams, Marvin Sapp and Karen Clark Sheard. However, Jason’s true love was singing. He began to accompany his brother, Jonathan Nelson, on the group Purpose. On the debut recording for Jonathan Nelson & Purpose, Jason sang the song “Everything You Are”. That recording became the turning point in Jason’s life. His career as a recording artist had begun.
Jason became a sought after soloist through this venture. Jason has performed with Mary Mary, Kim Burrell, Ted & Sheri, Karen Clark Sheard, Michelle Williams and Patti LaBelle. His performance resume includes stand out concert appearances with Cece Winans, Israel and New Breed, Tye Tribbett & Greater Anointing, Donald Lawrence, Bobby Jones Gospel, TBN’s Praise The Lord and MEGA fest (sponsored by TD Jakes).

On May 21, 2005, Jason recorded his first Live Recording Baltimore, Maryland before a crowd of 2000. The live session was transformed into a worship experience. “I Shall Live” is Jason Nelson’s first offering as a solo gospel artist. It is comprised of hit songs of Praise and Worship. This album showcases Jason’s writing, bass playing and mostly his anointed singing. Jason says the title song “I Shall Live” speaks to everyone who has reached a point in their lives where they wanted to give up. It encourages people in every walk of life to speak to their situation and say, “I shall not die, I’m going to live!”
Listen and be blessed!

Body going under
And when I come up
I can feel the sun shining on my face
And like a janitor You got me cleaned up
You made me a believer
The black mark on my soul has been erased
I've got a new set of rules
I can see the old me is through
There's no residue
I'm close enough to hear You (close enough to hear You)
Through Your word I'm made new
All of my mistakes have been washed away
Forever changed
And like a baby, I'm taking new steps
And if I fall I know You're right there
I'm holding on as You're leading me
The right way
And now that I've been with You
I've got a new set of rules
I can see the old me is through
There's no residue
'Cause You wash away, wash away
You wash away, wash away, yeah
You make me new
You leave no residue
You wash away, wash away
You wash away, wash away, yeah
You make me new
You leave no residue
And oh, Lord
As I gaze into Your beauty
I'm made whole, Lord
In the fullness of Your presence
I take hold, Lord
As the weight of sin is lifted from my soul
And You exchange my shame for joy
When I'm with You
I've got a new set of rules
I can see the old me is through
You leave no residue (no residue)
'Cause You wash away, wash away
You wash away, wash away, yeah
You make me new
You leave no residue
You wash away, wash away
You wash away, wash away, yeah
You make me new
You leave no residue
No

Psalm 105:15 ❤
Age 9, I got baptized in the name of the father, son, and holy ghost.
It's 2022 and I'm getting rebaptized in Jesus Christ... ❤
Cause you wash away... yeah, you made me new...
You leave no residue.

I really like this song from since I heard it. The opening line: “Take me to the water” immediately took me back to baptism. The ‘purging’ ‘cleansing’ theme of this message had me hooked. I love how this video ends with baptism. That’s pretty rad!
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
Acts 2:38-39 KJV
“Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)”
Acts 8:15-16 KJV
“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”
Romans 6:3-4 KJV
