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
Many years ago, there was a time when what I thought was a perfect job ended up to be something different than what I expected, I became very confused and discouraged. Then one day, someone told me what his father once told him when he was at a crossroads of his life. He said: "Be still, my son, and watch God work". That served as a great reminder and encouragement to me. So I wrote down this song to remind myself to cease from all worries and be still before God, knowing that He is the almighty and sovereign God who loves me and has a perfect plan for my life. Psalm 37:5 says to commit your way unto the Lord, trust also in him, and He shall bring it to pass. As I look back now, I can clearly see His mighty hand at work in my life, making impossible things possible and guiding me step by step. Although there may be some winding pathways and trying times, God can always work all things out to make us more Christ-like and better fit for His use. A missionary friend recently shared with me a passage from my Utmost for His Highest. And I would like to share it with you too: God is not working toward a particular finish. His purpose is the process itself. What He desires for me is that I see Him walking on the sea with no shore, no success, no goal in sight, but simply having the absolute certainty that everything is all right because I see Him walking on the sea(Mark 6:49). It is the process, not the outcome, that is glorifying to God.(My Utmost for His Highest, July 28). When our boat is rocking, Lord, help us to behold you and simply trust.
Lyrics
All Things Are Possible (Psalm 46:10; 37:5, I Peter 5:7) 1.Be still and know that He is God, my soul Be still and know that He is God O cast all your burdens on the one who cares Be still, my soul, and watch God work Chorus: He is the Lord who calms the storms And stills the waves The shepherd who leads the way All things are possible With the Almighty God Who works wonders in His time 2.Be still and know that He is God, my soul Be still and know that He is God Entrust your way unto the Lord who cares Be still, my soul, and watch God work Repeat Chorus Copyright 2007 Luisa Lin All Rights Reserved Written, Performed and Produced by Luisa Lin
