MP3 - I Have a Family
PDF - I Have a Family
This song is the result of a second thought. The original words that were penned for this just didn't "feel" right, so my wonderful collaborator went to work and this is the result. It is a lesson for all of us to rely completely on the Spirit and He will guide you the way you should go. This song is for Children to sing and talks about family and how the child can take an active part and feel needed in their family unit.
I Hope you like it!
I have a family, they are so dear to me,
we learn to work and play together, sharing happily.
I'm careful every day in all I do and say,
I want to show my family my love in every way.
I have a family, they are so dear to me,
we help each other when we can and do it cheerfully.
I'm thoughtful every day, in all I do and say,
I learn forgiveness, charity, and kindness as we play.
I have a family, they are so dear to me,
we want to be together now and through eternity.
I'm grateful as I pray, and always want to say
my thanks to Heavenly Father for my family each day.

MY MUSIC WAS FREE
For several years, I have given my music away for free. That's right - not one cent. I have been met with resistance from the "pay folks" and have been the indirect subject of how free music isn't really appreciated yadda yadda. As I have and will continue to maintain my music is my way of paying it forward. Because the Lord has blessed me with the talents and I really have no desire to make any money from my music, I have wrestled with how I can feel better about what I do and dismiss the critics. And let me say, I have no problems with those who do sell their music - just their communication on why they think that pay music is superior to free music.
So, effective immediately my music will have a cost. The format is quite simple:
If you use my music in any performance, I would request you make a donation to either the general missionary or humanitarian fund of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I don't care if you contribute $5.00 or $.05. It's just a way to further the work of the Lord by you paying it forward. Think of the good you can do for a struggling missionary or refugee seeking refuge and safety. The scripture, "...if ye have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto me" comes very clearly into my head.
I don't need or want to know of your contribution - that is up to you. My website will be updated with this information. I hope you find favor with this new method and pray the Lords choicest blessings on you as you reach out to His children.
