(ATLANTA, GA) – In gospel music, a new milestone has been reached as Lucinda Moore, the Stellar Award-winning artist, secures her first BMI Award for the inspirational anthem “Lord I Hear You.” Set to be honored at this year’s BMI Trailblazers of Gospel Music Awards ceremony, Moore’s creation has achieved over 10 million streams and clinched the #1 spot on the Media Base chart and #3 on Billboard. This recognition is a testament to the song’s profound impact and Moore’s significant contribution to the gospel music landscape.
“Lord I Hear You” is more than just a song; it’s a narrative of resilience, hope, and divine communication. Written under circumstances most would find unimaginable, Moore crafted this heartfelt melody while recovering from a life-threatening surgery in the ICU. “I had a cyst the size of a watermelon on my spine. The doctors did surgery, and my heart stopped on the table,” Moore shared, revealing the profoundly personal journey that inspired the song. Her collaboration with Grammy Award winner Cedric Thompson brought this experience to life, culminating in a track that resonates with many.
Moore’s musical journey is adorned with collaborations and performances alongside gospel music’s elite, including Dorinda Clark Cole, VaShawn Mitchell, and Tramaine Hawkins, to name a few. It’s her background vocals for the legendary Hawkins, though, that spotlighted her talent on a global stage. Yet, “Lord I Hear You” stands as a beacon of her artistry, showcasing her ability to transform personal trials into universal messages of faith.
The significance of this BMI recognition extends beyond personal achievement for Moore; it marks a moment of acknowledgment for a song born out of one of the most challenging periods of her life. “I have been a member of BMI since the early 2000s, and for the first time, I am honored that a song I wrote will be recognized as one of the top songs of the year!” exclaimed Moore. Her enthusiasm and gratitude towards BMI underscores her deep connection with her music and listeners.
As “Lord I Hear You” continues to inspire and uplift audiences worldwide, Lucinda Moore’s name is eternally etched into the annals of gospel music history. Her story is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith and music. As the BMI Trailblazers of Gospel Music Awards ceremony approaches, the gospel music community and fans eagerly anticipate celebrating Moore’s well-deserved honor. This recognition not only celebrates a song that has touched the hearts of millions but also a life dedicated to sharing hope through music.
