Corrinne May - a voice in the wilderness of Pop
Today, m'dar and I had the honour of listening to Corrinne May LIVE in NUS. =) We then Q-ed up to get a chance to meet her, get her autograph and take a photo with her. She's as pleasant as she looks, a humble and talented artiste who is friendly and really sweet.
While her Contemporary songs were beautifully written, one felt the OOMPH whenever she sang one of her Christian themed songs.
Her voice resonated wih conviction and through the lyrics, one could take a peek at the daily struggles she has faced in her life as well as the many convictions she has in her heart.
Her last song (Beautiful Seed... which inspired the new name of this blog)from 3 of the new songs that she sang when the crowd cheered for an encore was beautiful! It cried out for us to be witnesses (of Christ no doubt about that) and the power of the message in the song could not be missed :
"Every heart
Every power
Lies in the heart of a
seed that flowers ..."
We are all flowering seeds and like the parable of the sower, how we spring up depends on what ground we fall on. May we fall on fertile land so that our hearts are in the right place- with God, and that we serve Him and not the secular world.
Sometimes it is hard. The struggle between serving God and serving Man is a daily battle for some of us. We want to do more for Christ but at the same time, we are bound by work and time constrains. We want to serve Him more. give more to His cause but then sometimes a tight budget makes it hard for us to do so.
At the end of the day, despite all the struggles, let us put Christ in the centre of it all. We must know what to fight for and what to surrender to him to battle for us. For we are weak but HE IS STRONG... and in Him, we can find great victory.
We're all "seeds in the Maker's hand", planted on this Earth here to grow in His way. Let us not grow wayward like weeds but bask in His Sun (Son) and blossom in His Time whilst growing in His Word with each new day.
Thanks Corrinne for reminding us about that.
May that voice touch more lives not just through secular love songs, but through her love songs for Jesus.
