Tamara Calder (Born December 1985 Singer/Songwriter) From the parish of Clarendon, Jamaica. The daughter of a Minister and an Evangelist. Tamara is somewhat known as 'a church baby'. Grown in the church and given to the service of the Lord. Baptized at the age of 11 she was quickly involved in musical activities in not only her church but other neighboring community churches also. Tamara began pursuing her singing career in 2003 recruited by Nu Lyfe Muzik Productions in Grand Cayman. Ms. Calder represented Nu Lyfe as one of their three vocalists in early 2004, after which she began exposing her lyrical talents as a songwriter. In 2008,three (3) Singles were released "Light Up The World", "Lift Up Your Head" and "Shelter of Love" all written and sung by her. Tamara has since recorded with other fellow gospel artistes such as: Clifford Henry representing Katalys Crew, Ancient Priest, JCDC's second place winner and Jamaica's Christian rappers S.O.P. Tamara places thought-provoking lyrics as the center of attention in her music and above vocal talent places tremendous emphasis on the importance of her duty to minister and not entertain. Tamara continues to strive, to bring a musical message to a changing world. This music should be for ministry and for the glory of God not for 'entertainment' or for my benefit." Jesus said "I come not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance so that is the direction i intend to take. It may become controversial to some but this is what the life of Christ was all about.

Story behind the song
A prayer for Jamaica and all the other Caribbean countries struggling with crime. Like Gideon as Christians we shy away from the call of God to help our country. We ask God to give us signs to confirm that this is really what He wants us to do. But like Gideon when we finally decide to do God's will He will provide the support we need to get the job done. It might not be the mass we were looking for but the people that make the difference by the actions and their steadfastness to the cause.
Lyrics
The hearts of men grow evil Worst than before Destroying God's creation With their sinful manifestations They find reasons for war everywhere As you look around another bombing declares The signs of the times are here Know that the coming of Jehovah is near So much diseases out there That have no cure Mankind has gone their own way, No fear for God anymore They even took prayer from the schools Leaving chaos and confusion Now the youths are bringing guns As their only solution We need to... Rise up! Rise up! We need a revival to unite the nation Rise up! Rise up! Only through Jah (Jehovah's) love we can bring back salvation What would it profit men To gain the world and lose their souls When nations fighting nations The love of many wax so cold The rebellion of the people Is spreading like sand across the shores We can't sit down and be silent We can't take this anymore Earthly wealth is not the answer In these last and evil days Leaders of this world Need to find their knees and pray Pray for the souls gone astray That they turn and see the light Now is the time to make the change Time to make it right.
