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 came to me one night when I was already in bed, feeling just exhausted physically and spiritually. I was so tired that I just felt like crying. Then I thought about my God, and how the times I spent with Him in reading His Word and in prayer always brought renewal, healing and strength to my wearied soul, just like a refreshing Spring shower nourishes and cleanses the earth. Then suddenly I felt such sweet comfort from the Lord, and was filled with a burst of energy that I got up and wrote down this song. May the Lord draw us ever nearer to Him, for as David said in Psalm 34:8: "O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusts in Him".
Lyrics
For Chinese lyrics, please go to my official website Luisalin.org 1. Like a gentle April shower You refresh my soul Every day and every hour My heart thirsts for you Cares of this world Burdens of this life I won’t let them choke my life in you Chorus: Oh, I will come away and rest awhile Let your Word refresh me Restore my strength in trials Heavy heart becomes lighter Gloomy face gets brighter You refresh my soul Like a gentle April shower 2. Like a gentle April shower Your Word cleanses my soul In obedience is healing power You can make me whole The painful memories Bitterness and blues I won’t let them wreck my life in you Bridge: Ooh_ Your Word is in my heart Sweeter than the honey Abundant grace and blessings In my heart Written, Performed and Produced by Luisa Lin Copyright 2007 Luisa Lin.
