NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- On
June 1, 2019, 15 year-old
Lily Kelly was tragically killed
when the car she riding in was hit by a drunk driver. In the days
that followed, a song emerged that Lily had written and recorded
just six months before.
Family and friends found comfort in Lily's original song, "I
AM," which tells of her close relationship with Jesus and her
thorough understanding of His character. Wise beyond her years,
Lily knew that her calling and purpose was to share God's love
through the gifts He had given her, through music, through her
voice, returning His gifts back to Him in song.
Lily had just completed her freshman year at Calvary Chapel
Murrieta High School in southern California, where she played volleyball and
softball, and served on her school's student council. She enjoyed
photography, sketching and was passionate about music. She played
guitar and piano and led worship at both church and school.
Lily's heart for service was set to make an international
imprint in late June when she would participate in a mission's trip
to Ethiopia where her commitment
to spreading the love and hope of God through service and song
would be shared. But before she could board the plane, the Lord
called her home.
With the release of the single, "I AM," Lily's legacy lives
on.
"Lily would want nothing more through this than for everyone to
seek Jesus," said Lily's mother, Faith. "For Lily's life to be a
legacy of His goodness, hope and love, that would be exactly what
He put her here for."
"I AM" is available now at all major digital outlets, including
iTunes, Google Play and Spotify.
