Beyoncé Knowles hasn't necessarily been the ideal Christian female role model lately. But that isn't stopping her from singing about Christ. A new song called "Say Yes" features the reunited trio from Destiny's Child singing an unadulterated Gospel tune.
"When Jesus say yes, nobody can
say no," rings the hook of the soulful chorus over a catchy dance beat.
Trading parts with former group
mates Michelle Williams and Kelly
Rowland, Knowles picks up the
second verse, singing:
I'm not worried about a thing 'Cause I know You are guiding me Where You lead me, Lord I will go I have no fear 'cause I know Who's in control There's no limit to what
You can do 'cause it all belongs to You
You're almighty and all- powerful And it all belongs to You The song is part of an effort on Williams' part to live out her faithin her music. In a recent radio interview with Raj Nair, Williamssaid, "I kind of started noticing that,even with my platform with Destiny's Child, my individual calling has something to do with evangelism, but not with the traditional way in a pulpit."
Williams called the genre of the new song "urban inspirational"—one with "biblically themed" and "life-
themed" messages but that is more pleasing to the hip-hop attuned ear than traditional gospel music.
"I am to speak the word of God
through my music, and I even have
opportunities, say in theater or
other things that I do individually, to just be a light," Williams said.
"God gives us different platforms
for His will to be done."
