MP3 - Little Lamb
PDF - Little Lamb
I wanted to write a Christmas hymn that not only expresses the Savior's birth, but also tells of our divine truths - that it was, and is all part of Heavenly Father's plan. This could be sung in solos, sections, a Capella, and even a descant at the end. If you want the descant, let me know and I will be happy to do so. In the Christmas season approaching, may we all pause and stop to reflect on the little lamb born for all of us.
1. Little lamb in manger stall,
ox and sheep in silence awed.
We behold his tender face,
Jesus, Savior of the human race.
2. Little lamb, thy birth foretold
from thy servants young and old.
Prophesied from ages past
now fulfilled our Savior comes at last.
3. Little lamb, oh blessed One!
Thou art God's begotten Son.
Born to Mary, virgin mild.
God incarnate and born mortal child.
4. Little lamb, angels are here
and to shepherds they appear.
Telling them of joys and grace.
Go to Bethlehem and go with haste.
5. Little lamb, fulfill the plan
back with Father it began
when we heard these words divine:
"Send me and the glory all be Thine!"
6. Little lamb, our joy, our all!
May our hearts receive the call.
Loud hosannas, let us sing
to our Lord, and lamb; Eternal King!

See, Amid the Winter's Snow
MP3 - See, Amid the Winter's Snow
PDF - See, Amid the Winter's Snow
I've always loved this Christmas carol and wanted to do something with it. I decided on an a Capella piece that starts out with good old SATB, but then breaks out into TTBB and SSAA, joins back together and ends with SSAATTBB. The original had more verses, but I thought that that was too many, so I chopped them down.
The lyrics, while not LDS, speak very much of LDS truths and could be sung by a Ward Choir. I hope you enjoy it. Please leave feedback.

I'll Walk Today As Jesus Walked

MP3 - I'll Walk Today As Jesus Walked
When I heard our Prophet say the words in the recent General Conference, "...walking where Jesus walked is less important than walking as He walked", I KNEW I had to write a Primary song emulating that thought. Once again, I turned to my friend and fellow MoTab member, Michael Young for the words. I think his words are perfect. I love to hear Primary children sing, and when they sing simple truths, I believe Heaven smiles upon them. I hope that it brings a smile and maybe even a tear as you read this song. I know it has impacted me.
I'll walk today as Jesus walked.
I'll help someone I see in need.
I'll comfort someone who is sad, one of His lambs that I can feed. I'll walk today as Jesus Walked. I'll speak kind words the whole day through.
Just like the prophets tell us all to do. I'll walk today as Jesus walked. The Holy Ghost will help me know how I can share my little light,so that my faith can help me grow. I'll walk today as Jesus walked. And I know He will walk with me, and help me ev'ry day to walk as He.
