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 was partly inspired by two good friends of mine who were preparing to leave for China to invest the next 20 years of their lives in serving God's people there. Then they found out about the wife's shocking diagnosis of cancer. I could not stop thinking about them and praying for them after I heard about the news. I have known them since our college Student Fellowship days and the testimony of their lives have shone brightly for God all these years. Even in the midst of trials and uncertainties, they were still steadfast, thankful and faithful. I had always wanted to write a song about having a soft heart toward God and people, but just never got around to actually write it down. As I was playing the piano that day after having prayed for them, this song just flowed out like a prayer, which I think is also a wonderful portrait of their soft and obedient hearts toward God. In this competitive world, being soft-hearted is often thought of as weak and can be easily taken advantage of, but my prayer is that we will always have a soft heart toward God and people. May God soften our hearts that we will not be a stiff-necked people who harden their hearts toward Him, but rather, let his voice speak to us and let His love flow out of us that others will see His light and give Him glory.
Lyrics
Give Me A Tender Heart Music & Lyrics by Luisa Lin 1. Give me a tender heart Let me hear your voice and obey When you shine in the corners of my heart Help me listen, never go astray Chorus: In your loving hands I am the clay Mold me, shape me, use me, I pray I will follow my Lord with all my heart Step by step, never apart 2. Give me a tender heart Help me listen with compassion and love Hearing people's silent cries Seeing them from the Father¡¦s eyes Chorus 3. Give me a tender heart Show me your will and I will heed Rough and winding ways there may be I will look to you and follow where you lead Chorus Give me a tender heart, obedient, compassionate and humble Copyright 2008Luisa Lin All Rights Reserved.
