Your Life Has Made a Difference
Your Life Has Made a Difference
Words & Music by Gwen Smith & Steve Siler
You were real
You were here
My world changed forever
Because you lived and died
I was lost
Now I’m found
Your spirit is in Heaven
and cannot be denied
And so I give you a name
I light a candle in your honor
I will share the things you’ve taught me
and help others find their hope
I will tell the story
of a broken heart set free
And in everything I do become a witness
Your life has made a difference
You were flesh
You were soul
Something deep inside me
Transforming me with life
There was fear
Now there’s love
You’re forever with me
A never-ending light
So I lift up your name
Light a candle in your honor
I will share the things you’ve taught me
and help others find their hope
I will tell the story
of a broken heart set free
And in everything I do become a witness
Your life has made a difference

The lyrics are so beautiful. I know they will touch many broken and confused hearts.
Sandy Arena , Life Ballet
Beautiful and perfect for a memorial. Lends legitimacy to the life lost and purpose in the pain, as well as future intent. An excellent message and beautiful lyrics! Contains comfort, hope, and call to action!
