Beyonce, who is openly Christian, recalled one of her earliest childhood experiences with prayer in a recent poem.
The poem, entitled "Bey The Light," was "remixed" by award-winning poet and novelist Forrest Gander.
"I saw a TV preacher once when I was scared, at four or five, about bad dreams, who promised he'd say a prayer - if I put my hand to the TV. That's the first time I remember prayer, an electric current humming through me," she shared in the September issue of CR Fashion Book.
In her poem, she alludes to being on a mission from God that is spiritual and far greater than singing.
She acknowledges that her music has made a significant impact on the world and credits God for her ability to touch so many people.
"You call me a singer, but I'm called to transform, to suck up the grief, anxiety and loss of those who hear me into my song's form. I'm a vessel for all that isn't right, for break-ups and lies and double-cross. I sing into that vessel a healing light," she writes. "To let go of pain that people can't bear. I don't do that myself, I call in the light. I summon God to take me there."
The CR Fashion Book shoot was photographed by Pierre Debusschere and directed by fashion designer, Riccardo Tisci.
