Hi! Welcome to my music page! I write, sing and produce contemporary Christian inspirational and worship songs that reflect my journey of faith, my experiences in ministry as a missionary, and multi-cultural background, in both English and Mandarin Chinese. I was born in Taiwan. I lived in South America for 4 years before I came to study in the U.S. After I became a Christian, I also did some graduate study in Biblical Counseling. In 1996, God called me to go into the International Student Ministry as a missionary with ISI (International Students, Inc.). My husband David also got his calling and quit his post-doctoral research job at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab to join me in ministry in 2000. In 1994, I prayed for the gift of songwriting so I could tell people of God's love through songs, and God has been blessing me with songs after songs ever since. Over the years I gradually feel the Lord's nudging to publish these songs as a faithful servant should do with the talents given to him, particularly after surviving a car accident which reminded me to seize the time to use these songs for God's purpose and glory. And I thank God for my husband David who has given me tremendous encouragement and technical support to help me fulfill this music ministry calling. Most of my songs come from my meditation of God's Word, my own journey of faith and my experiences in ministry. The themes range from Christian growth, praise & worship, prayers, evangelistic messages, to some counseling-related topics. While the styles of music may vary from Pop, Ballads, Dance, Jazz to Latin, Chinese, most are soothing, uplifting and upbeat. My prayer is that God will use these songs to encourage and edify those who hear them as He has blessed me, and to help people come to know Him and make Him known. My Chinese CD "Soaring High" was released in Dec. 2009. Physical CDs and digital albums are available through Amazon.com. Songs also on Spotify, Apple Music, etc. Thank you for your support. I hope you would be blessed by these songs, and would also appreciate your feedback. Thank you & God bless!

Story behind the song
This song depicts the glorious day when we arise to meet with our Lord face to face. Paul said in Philippians 1:23: “I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far”. Just imagine being in the Lord’s presence forever and seeing Him face to face! What a day that will be! Besides,we can finally get rid of this heart that is so prone to sin! For “when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is” (1John 3:2 ). And there will be no more tears or pain, just eternal bliss with the Father in our heavenly home! But as long as God still keeps us here on this earth, we know He still has work for us to do, so that “Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death” (Philippians 1:20). It is good, though, to keep this glorious encounter in mind, to help us maintain a proper perspective while traveling through this earth. We should keep our eyes on the heavenly things instead of earthly temporal things, and honor our God each and every day, until we meet Him face to face and hear him say “my good and faithful servant”. I’d like to dedicate this song to Earl and Marjorie Silliman, in loving memory of Earl, who went to be with the Lord in May this year. They have been instrumental in helping my husband David know the Lord, and have been like second parents to us. As we grieve over the loss of Earl with Marjorie and her family, we are reminded that he is now in the presence of his beloved Lord, in a most wonderful place where we shall meet again in God’s good timing. And I thank God for what a blessed hope of eternal life He gives to all who trusts in Him, and what a sense of real meaning and purpose it gives our lives. What a blessing it is to travel through this earth, giving our utmost for His highest, knowing that He is always cheering us on until we go back to our heavenly home!

When I Arise Words & Lyrics by Luisa Lin 1. When I arise to meet you there Up in the sky so blue and fair I'll see your face and glory divine When I arise to meet you there Chorus: On that day glorious I will be pure Sinless, immortal, forever yours O to be ever in your presence When I arise to meet you there 2. May I arise to honor you Each day and each moment so true To hear you say "my faithful servant" When I arise to meet you there Repeat Chorus I'll rise. I'll rise So high in the sky I'll see my Lord Face to face in the sky I'll rise. I'll rise. I'll rise. Copyright 2007 Luisa Lin All Rights Reserved. Written, performed and produced by Luisa Lin
