Veteran singer/songwriter Cheri Keaggy returns to record, SO I CAN TELL, her most deeply personal project yet

Our Project

Hello, friends!  Have you ever gotten so enlivened or engaged with a project that you forgot to even stop and eat, and before you knew it several hours had passed and you completely lost track of the time?  If so, chances are you were doing the very thing you were created to do. That’s how I feel when I’m writing.


It has been four years since the Because He First Loved Us CD was released.  A lot of life has happened in that time and part of how I process life is to write songs about what God is teaching me and trust Him to use them for good.

My Vision

Lately, God has been giving me more opportunities to speak at women’s events and I have discovered this is something I truly love . . . losing myself in God’s Word preparing for a conference and then sharing with others what He downloads in that sacred space. Basically, it comes down to this:  my passion is to tell of God’s goodness and Truth to anyone who will listen, whether that be through leading worship, speaking, blogging, writing devotionals, future books, or simply singing my songs.  Whatever the forum, I repeatedly stand in awe of how the Holy Spirit takes these humble offerings and powerfully impacts lives that are hungry for Hope and Healing in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Kickstarter.com is a wonderful tool that helps folks like me raise funds for creative projects.  And right now, the project on the table is the next Cheri Keaggy CD . . . working title: So I Can Tell. Audiences have often commented how much they enjoy when I sit at the piano and sing my songs in their purest form.  Our goal is to create an honest, stripped down recording that reflects the vulnerability of the songs written after a very difficult season in life.  Some song title teasers include:  “Hello, God”, “Break Me, Bend Me”, “Bind Me to You”, and “When You Were Jesus To Me.”


We're in this Together

Here’s how it works:  Look at the incentives in the right margin and partner with us to bring these songs to life.  Think of it as a pre-order pledge.  With your gift, you could receive a personalized, autographed advance copy of the new CD, have your name included in the CD packaging as a ministry partner, or even host yours truly for a free concert/event at your home church! 

This pledge drive will last just 60 days.  Kickstarter will not charge your credit card until the goal has been reached.  If our goal is not reached in the allotted 60 days, there will be no charge to your card whatsoever.  The money will help us pay for musicians, album artwork, packaging, manufacturing/marketing, etc., and, if she behaves, some doggie treats for Daisy :)

One of my new songs has God our Provider inviting us to “come to Me, for I own the cattle on a thousand hills.” (Psalm 50:10)  I believe it!  Join me on this journey as we believe God together to move kingdom  money to do kingdom work.

I have heard the Truth so I can tell.  Thank you for helping me do that.  Hope to see you out on the road soon.

Still His child,
Cheri
