A Happy Children's Song about serving the Lord. Thanks to Eric Malizia for collaborating with me.

I'll serve the Lord, I'll serve the Lord by helping a neighbor in need. 
I'll listen, love and share all of the tenderness He shows me. 
I'll walk in ways of truth and light so I can know His will. 
Forevermore I'll serve the Lord by standing on Zion's Hill. 

I'll serve the Lord, I'll serve the Lord by willingly helping at home. 
My family will stand by me in helping my faith to grow. 
I'll give my talent and my time to lift another up. 
With all my might and all my mind I'll serve the Lord with love. 

He Walked Alone So We Must Not

MP3 - He Walked Alone so We Must Not

Here is a piece that is perfect for Easter-time. The words were written by Michael Young. A very sweet contemplative hymn which would also work for a theme of the Atonement.

He walked alone so we must not, along the road with peril fraught. 
Descending to the darkest vale, the curse of mortals to assail. 

A lonely road all choked with thorns, that thick upon His brow adorn. 
Weighed down by burdens stark and grave, great drops of blood as sweat He gave. 

There was no one to walk beside as He faced that grim eventide. 
But glory to our God ascribe, He bore more than we can describe. 

Tell of His grace, lest we forget, the vastness of forgiven debt 
that ransoms ev'ry mortal child, and brings them home, cleansed, reconciled. 

The Blessed Name of Mother

A short but sweet a cappella piece for TTBB on Mother's Day. The Tenor (lead) goes quite high, so it is not for the faint of heart. :)

The holiest words my tongue can frame, 
the nobles thoughts my soul can claim, 
unworthy are to praise the name 
more precious than all other. 

An infant, when her love first came, 
a man, I find it still the same, 
rev'rently I breathe her name, 
the blessed name of mother. 

Jesus Knows My Heart

I had TWO Primary tunes and gave both to my collaborator, Sue Anderson. I told her to pick one and see what inspiration struck. She came up with lyrics for BOTH in no time flat. This one is a sweet song for children to sing that talks about how Jesus knows our hearts.

Ev'ry time I kneel to pray, I can talk to Jesus.
He can hear the words I say, and He knows my heart.
Through the night and ev'ry day, Jesus is my friend.
When I'm sad or all alone, blessings He will send.
Ev'ry time I kneel to pray, I can talk to Jesus,
He can hear the words I say, and He calms my heart.

Sabbath Day

I had TWO Primary tunes and gave both to my collaborator, Sue Anderson. I told her to pick one and see what inspiration struck. She came up with lyrics for BOTH in no time flat. This one talks of how a young child can keep the Sabbath Day holy and is patterned from the church's latest push to honor the Sabbath. I hope you like it!

Sabbath Day: Keep it holy, with a heart meek and lowly.
Jesus lives: Think of Him all day long.
Don't forget what He gave you. He was born just to save you.
Follow Him, and to Him you will belong.

Read the words of the Savior. Write a note; do a favor.
Be a friend to a neighbor in need.
Go to church, ev'ry meeting. Share a smile and a greeting.
Walk His way, both in spirit and in deed.

Raise your voice and remember with a song sweet and tender
ev'ry blessing that Sunday imparts.
Say a prayer for another; love your sister and brother.
Worship Him; be like Jesus in your hearts.

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.

Crown Him with Many Crowns

This is an Easter Hymn that has some of the lyrics of the original and semi-famous Easter hymn. I wanted to make it a bit more relevant to LDS so I had my good friend, Michael Young come up with some alternate lyrics. And, like a jigsaw puzzle, we pieced it together into a cohesive and beautiful message of joy and hope. I hope you enjoy it.

Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne. 
Hark! how the heaven'ly anthem drowns all music but its own. 
Awake my soul and sing of Him who died for me, 
and hail Him as thy matchless King through all eternity. 

Crown Him the Son of God, before the worlds began, 
all ye washed clean by His dear blood, crown Him the Son of Man; 
who ev'ry grief hath known that wrings the human breast,
and take and bears them for His own, that all in Him may rest. 

Crown Him the Lord of love, behold His hands and side. 
He bore the weight of ev'ry sin and now is glorified. 
Crown Him the Lord of life, who triumphed o'er the grave 
and rose the third day from the tomb, all mankind He can save. 

Crown Him with boundless joy when He again descends. 
He shall appear in crimson robes and darkness meets its end. 
A thousand years of peace His great work we'll complete, 
all serving with our King of Kings, we'll worship at His feet.
