Yet Will I Praise Him

Born and raised in Pontiac, Michigan, Rena Hayes has always been known as a quot;PKquot; or pastor's kid. Raised in the church, she learned to play the piano at the tender age of 6 which is where her musical inspiration began. Rena attends the Door of Faith Christian Church where she is the Lead Musician, Head Choir Directress, and Chief Minstrel of Worship. A spirited and highly energetic worshipper, Rena began serving actively for the church at the age of 16 and dedicated her life to serving Christ. She was always ready and willing to participate in any way she could. Under the direction of her father, Reverend Earl Crump, who Pastors one of the largest Churches in the city of Pontiac, Rena has been in leadership as the Minstrel of Music for over the past 22 years. She is also an ordained Minister. Rena is no stranger into leading people in the presence of God. quot;I was created to do this,quot; she explains, quot;and I can't even imagine doing anything else.quot; Rena has always been able to take traditional songs and make them her own. She found inspiration by changing words to increase the message of faith and adding her own flavor - all while still respecting the original song writer. With the anointing that can only come from spending time with God, Rena has found new and innovative ways to speak and sing the old truth. It is with her Contemporary Christian Rock sound, blended with an Urban Gospel Edge, that Rena brings an undeniable message to provoke the presence of God while compelling others to praise Him. The title of her first release quot;Yet Will I Praise Himquot; is a testimony to the message that, although life brings many obstacles, you can get through them with prayer and praise! Knowing that even if nothing physically changes, that he still deserves the praise as He is God no matter what comes our way. It is in this state where you give him the praise, without regards for your natural fulfillment, where God will step in and open doors unexpectedly. Rena's goal for this C.D. project is for people ears to be drawn to her music, hearts to be touched by her lyrics and spirits will be lifted by the message, while compelling them to want a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. Rena has pulled together some great, young talents to reach the nations with her message.
