Born and raised in Jackson, Miss., Owens was discovering melodies on the piano almost before she could complete a sentence. Songs began to emerge from her fingers as the vision began to leave her eyes and by the age of three. A degenerative eye condition left Owens completely blind. Despite her physical challenge, Owens pursued a music career. Songs provide a window into a world Owens can’t see and an outlet for her to express her thoughts and dreams. Owens’ unique musical style and inspirational lyrics continue to appeal to Christian and mainstream audiences alike.
In 2005 Owens launched The Fingerprint Initiative, a hands-on, non-profit organization designed to “bring hope to the world, one project and one touch at a time.” The organization has partnered with and raised money for groups such as Compassion International, International Justice Mission and Habitat for Humanity.

I adore Ginny Owens!!
Liked her on fb too!!! :) Have to tell you Madi said to me the other day just out of the blue..."Do you think Mrs. Walker still remembers me?" It was cute. Hope you are doing well!
I sang "If You Want Me To" in church last Sunday. I love her music and this particular song really ministered to me as I am struggling to understand the hardship my mother is going through with Aplastic Anemia. I would love to have more of her music to listen to.
Did I miss the giveaway? I just liked Ginny's FB page.
