Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:
    I had recently (end of 2010)  begun praying that the Holy Spirit would start providing blues and gospel songs to His world through me.  Three reasons: 

    (1)  I loved His sense of humor in giving me country songs 
after my years of saying “I don't like country.”  Now I do! 

    (2)  I've been going to a church with gospel music for 3 years and I

just loved the true worship feel as we close our eyes and raise our hands and sway to the music in praise to our Lord -- worship that just ignores all the world around us.  And, most importantly,

     (3) It  has been my long-time prayer that the Holy Spirit, the Creator of All, would provide such a wide  range of creative music 

through my hands and voice that 

    only minds closed to God's reality could think 

    that one single person could “think up” so many different 
    types of music.       ..............                       
            The music itself is Evidence of God.                          

    One morning after again praying this, I went to the sanctuary piano and “just decided”  to sit at the keyboard before going to the altar.  I started running my hands across the keyboard, trying out some different chord progressions.... and this song happened.

Verse 1, the melody, and the majority of the chords were written in 12 minutes.    A gift from God and God alone, 

simply *through* DianaDee.      -ddo

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:

Hebrews 13:5 NLT:    Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."


"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.”  --JESUS, John 15:13-15


JESUS DID NOT REJECT JUDAS as friend EVEN  AFTER JUDAS betrayed  Him.
    “But Jesus said to him [Judas, at the time of his betrayal), "Friend,  why have you come?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him. .”  --Matthew 26:50  NKJV

“And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, 'Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.' And he was called the friend of God.” -James 2:23
