“When I Rise”
Cathy Townsend
From the CD RE-Born! RE-Juvenated! RE-Joicing!

Chicago psalmist Cathy Townsend is a veteran gospel singer. Since making her music debut at the age of seven, Cathy has soloed, sang in trios and groups, and directed and participated in choir. Her relaxed jazz vocal style has taken her from the sanctuary to prison ministry to city and civic events and has enabled her to travel nationally and internationally singing gospel.
“When I Rise,” the single from Cathy’s RE-Born! RE-Juvenated! RE-Joicing!, is a relaxed reflection on the joy of waking up to another day. Her voice is powerful but prayerfully introspective. For obvious reasons, it’s best played at the beginning of a busy day, but works just as well as a cool-down before bed.

Oh my! Cathy Townsend touched my heart and made me more conscious of Jesus Christ. I look forward to hearing her again.
Wow! I just heard Kathy sing this yesterday and her style pulled me right out of my seat. Where can I get an album with this song? I love this lady’s talent. She really has “soul.”
