Sometimes music grows out of our own experiences of prayer and faith.

In this CLEF Life video, Lynné Gray shares how a personal reflection inspired by a homily eventually became the song Great God of Love. In the video, she shares part of the song and reflects on her gratitude and love for God while inviting others to reflect on their own faith journeys.

Lynné Gray is a respected liturgist, arranger, director, composer, vocal coach, and accompanist. She shares her love of voice in ministry throughout the United States and has given numerous workshops. Lynné was blessed in 2008 to direct the Gospel Mass Choir during the Mass for Pope Benedict XVI.
