You Could Be the Difference (Live)

Sometimes it's good to just listen
Sometimes you gotta speak out
Be the voice of healing to someone that needs you now
Sometimes it's good take risks
And stand where no one else stands
Why be like everyone else just because you can

Be a house on a hill, be a fire burning bright
For a hopeless world that's lost its light
You never know who's watching
You could be the difference

Be the first hand that reaches for an outcast soul
Be your second chance on the dead end road
You never know what could happen
You could be the difference

Life is made of so many moments
But each one matters so much
Yeah, every single second here is another chance to love
You could start a chain reaction (a chain reaction)
One person out of time
Don't be afraid to let your heart shine

Like a house on a hill, be a fire burning bright
For a hopeless world that's lost its light
You never know who's watching
You could be the difference

Be the first hand to reach us for an outcast soul
Be a second chance on a dead end road
You never know what could happen
You could be the difference

Jesus is alive
Everyone needs to hear this
Cherries, love, joys, grace, we don't hope be to change
Let the truth make you fearless

Like a house on a hill, a fire burning bright
For a hopeless world that's lost it's light
You never know who's watching me
You could be the difference

Be the first hand that reaches for an outcast soul
Be a second chance on the dead end road
You never know what could happen
You could be the difference

You never know what would happen
You could be the difference
You could be the difference
Whoa, whoa, whoa, you could be the difference

And that's the truth, amen!
I think sometimes in our lives as Christians, we don't realize
That we can be the difference in somebody's life
You know, God sends us in people's lives to be that miracle
And we can make a difference in somebody's life

Guys, I want us to do a song now
The song right here-, when we're going through material for a new CD
We go through a lot of songs
We go through hundreds of songs to find the ten songs that we choose for a CD

And God's timing is perfect; I'll tell you that
I've found that out many times in my life, and I know you have to
This song right here, let me go a little backstory
Back in 2010, my father passed away and went home to be with the Lord
Less than six months later, my mom passed away and went home to be with the Lord
It was a very tough year
Bill went through that with his father
His father passed away a few years ago and went home to be with the Lord

Last year, when we were going through songs to pick the ten for our new CD
This is to show you how God's timing is
This song right here came along
Bill's younger brother, Charles, last year, passed away of liver cancer at 28 years old
And it was a very tough, tough year for his family, very tough time
Nine months from the time that he was diagnosed with cancer, he passed away
He was saved (amen!)
He was born again, so we know where he is (yes, amen!)
And praise God for that, that's all that counts

God chose to give him the ultimate healing and took him home
But it's tough on a family when you lose a loved one
I'm sure a lot of you here tonight and a lot of you watching, you've lost loved ones
When I say lost them, if they're born again, we know where they are
We know they're in a much better place

And the next time you see your loved ones, the next time I see my mom and dad
And Bill sees his brother and his father, they won't be sick anymore
They won't be hurting anymore
Most of all, we'll never have to say goodbye again
Because your loved one, no matter if it was a week ago
Or 40 years ago that maybe someone passed in your life-
