YOU CHANGE HISTORY
ALBUM: Amazing LORD 'n' Life
History is moments that have become past...
not always centuries.
Song Story: THE LYRICS:
I'd been having trouble sleeping, so I put a mild video in to play.... the droning voices lull me to sleep. As I awoke one morning, the first words I heard were of a detective saying to a sad person, “You changed history. How many people can say they've changed history?” And my INSTANT thought -- which I fervently believe was the Holy Spirit's inspiration -- is that EVERY ONE OF US can change the history of people's lives --- even just smiling at someone who is sad. Even just speaking to a child or teen in church to show that you consider them important, worthy of your time.
Song Story: THE MUSIC:

The lyrics, the music notes and chords -- these were so easy to write. Again I observe that when preachers of the old days speak of God penning their words, I see so much that these songs are NOT “DianaDee” skills but God's inspiration....
and NOT because I'm someone special. I just earnestly prayed for several years (see song story for “Third of Despair and Hope”) and the LORD in grace answered.
But this was really hard to record and write out the music sheet.
I kept having problems with my computer software for writing music tracks...
it kept changing to 1/32nd notes, which literally quadrupled my work several times over. But it was exciting to see how God developed in me ideas to switch to half time for the chorus, bridge, whatever you'd like to call it. That weird part in the middle with some really odd instruments God guided me to try!
We recorded the song one day after I wrote the lyrics in my Journal #20. (#1 in this Leatherbound series was March 2009... 350 pages per journal, filled with song giftings yet to be developed with God's help that I dearly need.) God's Ephesians 3:20-21 empowering at work! By the way -- I was AMUSED to not realize until I was going to my 2nd studio session of that week: We recorded 4 new songs for God's WorldWideWeb that week... and all 4 were about History. Not MY plan! In fact, 4 songs in a week is only from GOD's empowering, too!May this song change history, encouraging people with the JOY of seeing God's purpose in their life....
To help others....

LYRICS
1
You change history ev'ry time you smile
at some one whose heart hurts. You lift that heart awhile.
2
You change history, speaking to a child,
showing that child's IMPORTANT to receive your time.
3
You change history each time you refuse to
gossip, mock or hurt someone-- as Satan tempts you.
4
You change history each Time you speak about God,
planting seeds that God can grow...
bring someone true Life.
BRIDGE
Who decided history affects the whole world?
God says each and ev'ry life is utterly worth your
time, your money, and your care-- even just words that
change a life...... change history....
one person....... one life........
one precious child of God at a time........
You change history ev'ry time you smile
at some one whose heart hurts. You lift that heart awhile.
