Karen is Claire’s cousin – she joined us for her senior year, and really came a long way vocally! It wasn wonderful to watch her getting closer and closer to all of us as she served with us… and we’ll be missing her as she heads off to college! It does mean, however, that someone else’s ministry will gain the benefit of her dedication and willingness to serve!
The main clue in this song is acronymic: “…know and remember every nation can have a newborn generation…”. A peripheral clue is that Karen’s also done short-term missions work in British Columbia. And… well, I think that the introduction and its reprise at the end capture some of her personality…
Life is mine forever because my Lord gave Himself for me,
Jesus is my Savior, the Lamb of God through history,
And dare I keep this gracious light from those with unpaid sin?
Lord, make my life a beacon bright that they might ask You in!
Give me a voice to proclaim the Gospel,
To show life in Christ to all the lands,
Give me a voice to tell of Jesus,
To know and remember every nation
can have a newborn generation – ,
Lord, give me a voice!
To preach is Christ’s commission, to show the lost His perfect love,
To tell of sin’s remission, if they will cast their hearts above.
And dare I keep this gracious light from those with unpaid sin?
Lord, make my life a beacon bright that they might ask You in!
