Margaret Becker - Keep My Mind (Concept Video)

[s1973rosy]

Wow, do I remember this song for my younger years! What a great song, and what a great message for today's time when we really need to "Keep our minds on highter things". God bless for posting!

Whats with the triangle and the pillar?

[dragonsrightwing]

I don't know, but one possibility -

pillar = I (kinda' looks like a capital letter "I")

trinagle = Greek delta - the math symbol for change

so (again, just a guess) "I change" ???

[Chiangmai007]

I think its intentionally enigmatic to let each person make of it what they will. For me the triangle may represent the Holy Trinity; the flowers within the triangle represent the blissful beauty of inner purity; the column could be a symbol of lasting strength and wisdom. By the way, be sure to listen to Margaret in the "Margaret Becker in Malawi" video.  The woman she is speaking about is a picture of beauty, strength and hope. I close my eyes and repent of my complaints when I think of her.

Her best song. Hands down.

Wow! Great memories from back in the early 90s

Margaret has a fantastic voice! Keep My Mind and Deep Calling Deep are the reasons I started listening to Christian music. Awesome song from an awesome artist!

Song inspired by Colossians 3:2 - "Keep your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth."

Gotta dig through some tapes; but I remember having a clip of Margaret Becker performing "Stay Close to Me" from the Immigrant's Daughter album on the 700 Club in '90; as well as giving her testimony.

I was blessed to meet her backstage before her "Simple House" concert in Tallahassee (early 90's). My college roommate was the morning announcer at WCVC so she got me backstage. I still have my laminated press pass... somewhere. I don't recall exactly what was said during our meeting, but I think I told MB how profoundly moved I was by "Stay Close to Me". She was very gracious & even gave me a quick hug. The concert was awesome! That evening remains one of the highlights of my college years.

Oops! I just remembered it was "Just Come In" (not "Stay Close to Me") that I told her I found so moving. It took me a long time to be able to listen to that song without crying.

Although not diong much recording anymore. She remains my favorite CCM female singer. Pretty too.

[WVECSpirit]

Music actually reminds me of something I'd expect to hear from the late 1980s (not a bad idea, and not that I'd know first-hand as I was a baby).

[kareninflorida]

Music aside, Maggie B's big hair and red lipstick ought to give it away that this is an 80's song. LOL That was a really "in" look twenty-something years ago, I'm sorry to say. ;-) But I think the lyrics to this song are timeless. :-)

[miamidavid]

Actually, this song is from Soul, an album Margaret Becker released in 1993.

[kareninflorida]

DOH! And I even *own* the CD!! Not only that, but I bought it just for this song, plus "Say the Name". Well, that'll teach me to check my facts first. ;) Thanks for the correction. :)

[CynicallyNaive]

@kareninflorida I think CCM is typically about 5-7 years behind "mainstream" culture, so you're accurate to call this an 80s cultural artifact. ;) Still a good song, though.

[Kauralei]

It would be lovely to find more of her earlier works. Anyone happened to know of where? Peace!
