The Music of Karen Lafferty
As singer/songwriters of the 70s who were Jesus followers began to be troubadours of their faith, Karen Lafferty was on the front lines pioneering music of the Jesus Movement. In 1974 Calvary Chapel’s Maranatha! Music released one of the first ever albums of contemporary Christian worship. Karen’s scripture chorus to Matthew 6:33, “Seek Ye First”, was on this album which became an international best seller as it made its way from California beach Bible studies to the Vatican. This simple chorus quickly became Karen’s signature composition and opened doors for her around the world.
Karen Lafferty has done a huge amount in her over four decades of music ministry. She is now in process of completing a biography of her journey as a Christian musician which thus far has led her to over seventy nations.
