UNCHANGING GRACE
ALBUM: Amazing Grace 'n' Tears
Song location: https://dianadeeosbornesongs.com/Songs-2008-2012.php
Song Story: The MUSIC. Simply: I needed a 12th song for this first album, and it “made sense” to create another Amazing Grace version song. And at the last minute -- we'd finished the song -- the thought came to me to "reprise" the album's title song at the end of this song that would be the final track on the album.
I had NO IDEA that God would EVER keep honoring me with songs to develop for Him.... and
so MANY. This was in the first month of recording with Valley
Worship & Praise Productions, and even after 2 years of daily prayers to serve our LORD with music, I never dreamed that 9 months after recording UNCHANGING GRACE, I would have filled a second album, “Amazing Love 'n'
Lullabies.” Ephesians 3:20, far beyond all we ask or dream. Verse 20... For God's Glory-Only.
I kept my “Little Girl” singing voice and a very light touch on piano and bass (complete with bass mistakes and gaps), to sound weaker...... as we ARE without our LORD's empowering Love.
AND, I sent the
VwP studio producer out of the controller room after he
hit the “Record” button (something musicians shouldn't, don't, do) because I knew I would cry while recording
these sad words about all Jesus has suffered for me... for us.....
Song Story: The DiDoReflections Music Ministry Project.
When I first began this worship project, I called the CCLI office for information about sharing songs with churches and Christ-followers. I commented that I had several versions of the song "Amazing Grace." Giselle's wonderful immediate response was, "THERE CAN NEVER BE TOO MANY SONGS ABOUT GOD'S AMAZING GRACE." What TRUTH is in those words, about God's UNCHANGING GRACE!
This was also the first song in which God gave me the idea to really pack in scripture references so people can find His Promises.
Dedicated to our Lord, 30 November 2008,
eight months after LORD God began pouring out His song giftings through me......

TAG < Reprisal of first CD's title song, “Amazing Grace ‘n’ Tears” >
How self-centered I have been. How I’ve focused all on me.
How amazed I am to be graced by Your love,
.......... by all of Your tears for me.
How forgiving You have been, suff'ring anything for me. (1 Peter 3:18....)
How amazed I am to be graced by Your love,
that You'd die on a tree -- for me..........
