Story behind the song
Our first granddaughter should have been such an exciting time but instead, three months into the pregnancy, she was diagnosed with a rare chromosome disorder called "Triploidy". Most babies with this disorder don't live past the first trimester. We wondered why God would create a baby with this situation. The doctors recommended abortion. But her mom and dad said, "no" for God created this life for a reason. So many "perfect" babies are aborted by parents that don't want them and here was a couple that wanted a baby, even one with imperfections. At that point her parents named her Zoe because in Greek, zoe=life. And we started to pray life into that little baby. I pondered about how God creates all "life" just to praise Him, even the life that won't live very long. And this song was born from that realization. Though Zoe did not live to term but was birthed at 8 months we all know that God created her life for a reason, and her life was made to praise Him! From the moment Zoe was created she was destined to change people's lives. She would never breathe a breath or cry that baby's first cry. She would never learn to walk or talk. She wouldn't fall in love, go to the prom, or get married. As insignificant as that seems, she was a very significant part of many people's daily life. Because of you, Zoe, many people have come to a closer relationship with God, praying harder, praying more regularly, gaining in their faith and hope. As one person said on the website, aœAlready in your young life you have taught me to love more deeply and to cherish everything God has blessed me with. Beautiful little one I pray for you daily!a Zoe, you were created by Almighty God and your destiny was set. Your life was made to praise God. And we are all praising Him, for Father has taken you into His arms. Your life will go on in eternity. Though you are gone from our presence your life will continue to touch people's lives. We will never forget you. The last verse to the song came after her death when I realized that even after we die our life still goes on to praise Him in Heaven.
Lyrics
From beginning of time when Creation began Praising the Father was all in the plan So Life was made to praise You. Adam and Eve in their Garden of Love Were made to praise God in Heaven above And Life was made to praise You. Oh Life was made to praise You. From the critters that live in the forest and glen To the words that come from my paper and pen To the flowers that bloom again and again Oh Life was made to praise You. God does not worry and God does not fret Life's circumstances are not always set And Life was made to praise You. When problems come and they certainly will Always remember to keep praising still Cause Life was made to praise You. Oh Life was made to praise You. In the middle of troubles And sorrow and woe When it feels like I just don't Have someplace to go I'll remember a time when You made it so My Life was made to praise You. When time has ended and Life is no more Look toward heaven and see what's in store Cause Life goes on to praise You You made a way for Life to go on I'll never wonder when my Life is gone Cause Life goes on to praise You Oh Life goes on to praise You. From the small tiny seed that Grows to a tree And the vision that came From my heart as a dream To the baby that's growing Inside of me Oh Life was made to praise You. Yes, Life was made to praise You. Oh Life was made to praise You.
