Song of the day: “I Look To You” by Whitney Houston

As I lay me down
Heaven, here me now
I’m lost without a cause
After giving it my all

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I’ve been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

I look to you
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you, I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you, I hear a song
I look to you…

Like many aspiring singers, Whitney Houston was an idol and inspiration - to me, a perfect model of a true musician and performer. Her beautiful, powerful voice mixed with her honest, soulful expression put her in a level far beyond many vocalists in her day, before her, and after her. Many have been compared to her, but no one will ever replace her.

Whitney, thank you for sharing your incredible talent with all of us. You always did more than just sing - you shared your passion, your strength, and your soul through your music. I pray that after so much struggle, you are finally at peace.
