The morality of a society is reflected in its music. That music most popular in a community both shapes and confirms moral standards. It’s not the only influence, but it has more influence than most people realize.
A movie may be enjoyed a few times. A song could easily be heard hundreds of times over decades. It can be heard multiple times in a day.
Before radio became popular many people had little opportunity to hear songs and what the hymns that sang in church may have consituted their favorite songs. There were cities where you could go to concerts or dance halls. Strauss Waltzes were once the popular music of the day. In the United States John Phillip Sousa marches were played by bands across the country.
Radio and records enabled people to enjoy music in their homes at the time of their choosing. Digitial music is available while jogging. Music permiates modern society, but what is the morality of the music? The vast majority is not famous hymns.
Much modern music for decades has promoted romantic love. Some just skips strainght to promoting lust. Rare is the song the promotes lasting marriage and parenthood. The focus is on “falling” in love (or just shacking up). This is very detrimental; to society.
A marriage is not an exciting fling with the girl or guy of your dreams. It should be a committment to love someone for a lifetime. Providing such music is a form of innovation from heaven. It offers listeners a different way to look at marriage. It raises a standard God has declared beneficial to mankind. Such a song should have a sound that appeals to the tates of an existing fan base.
Love You Forever is a country style love song about a couple with a strong marriage. Granted, the words are offered by somes who has already been married 51 years, but the tune is catchy and the message is very pro marriage without being preachy.
Love You Forever
Another innovation from heaven song is called Be Beautiful. Many girls and women spend consideral amouts of time trying to look attractive. They think their physical attractiveness is a major element in their social worth.
Be beautiful presents the idea that the greater and lasting form of beauty is beauty of character. It’s a soft and gentle song, not loud. Some girls are born with facial features that would enable them to pose on magazine covers. Most are not. Every girl or woman can be beautiful in their behavior. This song raises the value of goodness and kindness above the values of Hollywood’s measure of beauty.
Be Beautiful
One of the saddest aspect of modern society is the demand of many women to be able to have abortions. They call it reproductive rights. Innovation from heaven using music would offer a loving song about life as a gift.
The Gift of life is a song that celebrates how God enables women to have a baby from the moment of inception, through pregnancy and past birth. It does not mention abortion. It very softly points out that generations to come begin with a conception. It honors God’s intent for gender, marriage and parenthood. It is not preachy, just sweet. Mothers should love it.
The Gift of Life
Innovation from heaven can oppose racism with an upbeat fun song children can love. It delights in both diversity and unity. Give it a listen and see for yourself.

Many worldly songs promote being angry about something. They can be fliied with hatred and vulgarity. Innovation from heaven can take on the danger of anger with a ballad.
It Only Takes a Moment
Imagine such songs and many with such content being very popular. Imagine the impact on society.
