 On her forthcoming CD Blessed, Broken & Given (Tyscot Records),
gospel vocalist Lucinda Moore uses the pain of her past to craft
fifteen songs to not only please ears, but to also heal souls. The
first single “Blessed, Broken & Given” is building momentum at
various radio formats. “This is my testimony of what God did for me,”
Moore says of the inspiring ballad. “He’s blessed me with a voice but
He had to break some things in me in order for me to be given to the
nation.“
In the past, Moore battled childhood abuse; depression over her
father’s death, and a sixteen-year marriage to someone she says “never
loved me.” However, Moore’s faith was a comfort in the hard times. As
she was preparing for the live recording of the new project at
Atlanta’s Elizabeth Baptist Church, she was dealing with a rough patch.
“I was going through a divorce,” she says. “Emotionally I was a wreck.”
She dug into her faith and wrote the CD’s dramatic title song to
encourage others. “I’m doing it to help other people come out of what
they are coming out of,” she explains. “You don’t have to be unhappy
and sit in abuse… This is the happiest time of my adult life.”
Moore is spreading this message of hope to others who have been
scarred. A portion of CD sales profits will benefit a North Carolina
women’s organization called Impact that aides abused women in getting
back on their feet. Moore is also seeking to help others through her
first “Blessed, Broken & Given” conference that will feature guest
speakers Bishop Noel Jones, Bishop Tudor Bismark and psalmist Judy
Jacobs. The conference takes place April 22-24, 2010 at the Wake Chapel
church located at 3805 Tarheel Road, Raleigh, NC 27604. Services begin
at 7 p.m. each night except Saturday when service begins at 12 p.m.
