I am working on an album and want to share with you the first song, "In Your Eyes", written by myself and Nashville Producer Doug Beiden.

"In Your Eyes" is a prayer and a reflection of how lucky we are to be loved by a God who always holds us in His forgiving eyes. No matter how much we screw up, God will always see us through if we allow Him. I am in constant awe of how forgiving God is and how present He is when we choose to open up our hearts to Him. He is always forgiving, always loving and always accepting of who we are.


"What a voice...wow...that's about the best we heard all year!"
~Tom Seaver commenting on Gina singing the National Anthem at Yankee Stadium for the New York Yankees at a special televised event.

I've been singing for as long as I can remember. A native New Yorker, I started singing at the age of three and started singing professionally at the age of ten. In addition to studying voice privately, I continued my studies at Fordham University in New York City, where I earned a BA in Theatre with a concentration in Musical Theatre. Upon graduation, I continued to work as a Singer/Actress in many productions in New York City, Regional Theatre, National Tours as well as voiceovers and session work. Little did I know God had other plans for me.

When I became ill a few years ago, my hectic routine as a performer came to a halt and all that time on my hands made me evaluate my life. Prayer is powerful and has given me so much clarity and direction in my life, so I prayed - a lot! My faith in Jesus is everything to me. My body was healing and at the time I thought, if God could bring me out of an illness then He probably has plans for me here on earth. Through my life's events, God has led me here. It seems that whenever I attempt to turn around, God always leads me back to this. I figure I'd better pay attention and sing my heart out - for Him instead of for myself.

I encourage you to get quiet, listen closely and let go. We are not perfect, but we do have the ability to open our hearts and listen to what God has in store for us.

"The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me" - Psalm 138:8

Psalms121:1-2 I look up to the hills,but where does my help come from?My help comes from the Lord,who made heaven and earth.1st Peter5:7 Cast your cares on him,for he cares for you.Isaiah51:11 The people the Lord has freed will return and enter Jerusalem with joy.Their happiness will last forever.They will have joy and gladness,and all sorrow and sadness will be gone far away.

Don't be a fence sitter!
Mass confusion, mob uproar - in Decision Valley! I call Heaven and Earth to witness against you today: I place before you Life and Death, Blessing and Curse. Choose life so that you and your children will live. Joel 3:14 Deuteronomy 30:19 The Message
I pray that every decision you make is a God-directed decision of Life, leading to His blessings for you.
Blessings,
Susan

Hi Gina, Great song! You have a very rich & distinct vocal timbre that gives you a unique depth. Your sincerity & love for our Lord shines through. Thanks, Tom
Susan Waters on 4/27/09 - 9:50 PM
He saved us from all that. It was all his doing; we had nothing to do with it. He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out by the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5 The Message
I pray that you see yourself cleansed - not by your own efforts, but by the grace of your Loving Abba Daddy.
Blessings,
Susan
