Combine classical phenom Charlotte Church with legendary soulstress Teena Marie and you get Krissy Gordon.
Nine years after writing her first song, singer/songwriter, Krissy Gordon, has come out hiding and is soon to take the world by storm with her debut album, “Windows to the Soul” (released on October 6, 2006), featuring five original, Contemporary Christian pop songs, flavored with note-worthy hints of R & B, soul, funk and gospel. While unique in sound and style, Krissy has earned comparisons to Yolanda Adams, Martha Munizzi, Nicole C. Mullen, Crystal Lewis and R&B legend, Teena Marie. Here is what some reviewers are saying about “Windows to the Soul”: Each song is meaty and meaningful in content, and then delivered memorably by Krissy's beautiful voice filtered through The Holy Spirit. It is powerful medicine for the aching, weary and lost soul that will listen to its messages. We pray for the LORD who gave this project; the lyrics, the music, and the messenger, to use it powerfully to touch lives for HIS GLORY and HIS KINGDOM. Halleluiah! - Phyllis Shew, VIP Ministries Krissy Gordon's CD is AWESOME! On the first word, the tears started flowing and continued through the entire song. You would of thought I was her proud mom. The CD quality is excellent, her voice sounds absolutely wonderful, and each song is so meaningful. I love everyone of them. My ONLY disappointment is that there are only 5 songs and not more. I've already listened to the entire CD 5 times today. Krissy needs to get busy and make another one.......hurry! - Sheryl Honeycutt, Director of VIP Minstries I am enjoying Krissy’s album so much. The melodies are all so great and catchy. I find myself singing them all day long. And the lyrics are speaking to me too. I need to “get up and get myself moving,” and find out what God’s plan is for me. I still have no idea! It is really a great album. - Debbie Stallings, The Inspiration Networks Although new on the Christian music scene, Krissy is anything but an amateur. Krissy’s professional demeanor and polished sound makes it seems like she has been performing for years as she continues to impress audiences wherever she goes. However, Krissy’s goal has never been one of fame and fortune, but to minister the gospel through music to the lost, needy, hurting, hungry and homeless. Krissy’s ministry includes such venues as the Charlotte Homeless Shelter, the Salvation Army, Charlotte Rescue Mission, Lanesboro Correctional Facility, and an Outreach Picnic for Women Prisoners at Freedom Park. Krissy was also a featured guest/interviewee on The Spirit Radio as well as a featured guest and performer of “The National Anthem” on WBT Talk Radio in Charlotte. Some of her other accomplishments include 5-time performer of “The National Anthem” @ The Charlotte Knights games, a member of the mass choir for The Inspiration Network’s New Year’s Eve Special and a 2003 participant in INSP’s Christian Artist Talent Search. Krissy communicates a message through her music with such a captivating and sincere approach that the light of God radiates from her and penetrates into the deepest part of mankind's soul. Her songs are birthed out of love and thanksgiving to God for His saving grace and transforming power, and her lyrics compel people to deep dig within their souls and to seek the meaning and purpose of their lives. Krissy believes, "we can live in the world but not be part of it; this is a journey not a destination. We can choose to go along for the ride or we can take a stand and pursue the things that God has pre-ordained and pre-destined for each of us."

Story behind the song
This song was written after the Lord moved me to Charlotte. There were some areas in my life that were getting in the way of my relationship with the Lord and threatening to take the place of my first love, Jesus. The Holy Spirit convicted me through Romans 12:1-2 and the Lord gave me the lyrics and melody of this song as a testimony for others.
Lyrics
When you’re feeling down and out And sin has held you bound The devil has destroyed your joy And peace cannot be found The time has come it’s up to you To reclaim your life All you’ve got to do is put your trust In Jesus Christ And surrender, surrender, surrender to the Lord Ssurrender, surrender, surrender to the Lord He is the Healer, He is the Living Word Surrender, surrender, surrender to the Lord When you’re worried ‘bout your life And fear consumes your time The devil’s robbed you of your love And faith you cannot find Remember Him who gaves His life To save us from our sin Open up your heart and then just let the Savior in (Chorus repeats) (bridge) It’s time to die to your own self And let the Spirit dwell within The only thing that separates us From our God is sin Just let go and lift it up And He will take control If you lay it down for Him He will make you whole (chorus repeats) (Tag)
