Lynn DeShazo
Lynn DeShazo is the author of some of the Church's most loved worship songs of today, many of which have been featured on the live praise and worship recordings produced by Integrity Media. Lynn is best known for such songs as "More Precious Than Silver", "Lead Me to the Rock", "Turn My Heart", "Be Magnified", "Be Unto Your Name", "Stand Up and Give Him the Praise", "In Your Presence, O God", and "Ancient Words". Her songs have been performed by a diverse and distinguished group of worship leaders and vocalists that have graced the popular Integrity's Hosanna! Music series from its inception. They include Leanne Albrecht, Rita Baloche, Lamar Boschman, Scott Wesley Brown, Travis Cottrell, the Women of Faith worship team, Bob Fitts, Kent Henry, Graham Kendrick, Robin Mark, Don Moen, Marty Nystrom, Ross Parsley, Randy Rothwell, Paul Wilbur, and Kelly Willard.
Lynn has been involved in worship ministry on the local church level for over twenty-five years as a worship leader, a songwriter, and a musician. Her songs have been sung in worship throughout the Body of Christ since the early 1980's, and she has been an exclusive songwriter for Integrity Media since 1989. Lynn has also produced nine of her own music recordings to date, and an audio teaching series for worship songwriters called "Expressing the Song Within". More recordings and equipping resources are planned for the future, including a school for worship songwriters.
Lynn travels frequently as a guest worship leader, instructor, and minister to a wide variety of churches, retreats, and conferences within the U.S. and abroad. As a psalmist in the Body of Christ, she helps connect worshipers to the flow of God's Spirit, bringing times of refreshing and healing to God's people.
Lynn is a native of Alabama, graduated from Auburn University, and has lived in Birmingham nearly all of her life. She did, however, live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for most of the 1980s. She does not miss the snow and ice.
