I play my own songs, as an outward expression of what I\u2019m feeling at the time. When I am sad, I play my sad songs. When I\u2019m happy, I play my happy songs. When I am going through difficult trials, I remind myself of what I\u2019ve learned by playing songs that I\u2019ve written about life, hope, and that God is always there for me.<br \/>\nI\u2019ve shared sheet music for several of my piano and less personal songs, on my Kerby Music website. It makes me happy to think that others are enjoying my music as well.<br \/>\nI also have a desire to share my songs with not just piano players and choir directors, but share my personal stories and songs with people that have gone through the same kinds of experiences that I have. I want to share the hope and joy that I have felt as I\u2019ve learned things and tried to share them in a song.<br \/>\nI invite you to follow along on my journey. It has been a journey of hope, love, discovery and of trying to figure out my purpose in life. Part of that, I believe, is to share these songs with you, and the stories behind them. I hope you\u2019ll enjoy!<br \/>\n~Lindy<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the interview that Nick Galieti did with Lindy on The Good Word Podcast <a title=\"Interview with Lindy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.radiogoldproductions.com\/thegoodword\/episode-127-interview-with-lindy-kerby\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Music CD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Thy God My God CD\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cmichaelperry.com\/zionbookworks\/?p=145\"><strong>Thy God My God<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is something about a song that speaks to my soul.
