LDS Songs

A Young Woman's Prayer
by myself and Rudi O.
to the tune of "A Child's Prayer"

Elder Right…. are you really there?
I dream of you in every thought and prayer
Sometimes you feel so far away
But I know that we'll meet again someday

Elder Right… I remember now
Something that happened oh-so long ago
We said our last good-byes and vowed our love
Before we came to earth from heav'n above

Pray… he is there
Seek… he is waiting
You'll find his love
His arms will enfold you
The look in his eyes
Will show that he knows you
You are the girl
The girl of his dreams

Ain't It Funny
by me
to the tune of "Ain't It Funny", by Jennifer Lopez

It seemed to be like the perfect thing for me to be
It's so ironic this is exactly what was meant for me
I'm so glad for the things that I've just found out
It makes me want to laugh and dance and shout
This perfect Gospel that I've been blessed enough to find
I'd live a thousand lives to keep the Spirit by my side
And now I find myself in such a perfect circumstance
And I'm so thankful that I have the chance

Sometimes I thought that a true love could never be
I just believed that somehow it wasn't meant for me
Living without His love is harder than I can explain
And I don't think that I could face it all again
I barely know Him but somehow I know what He's about
A deeper love I've found in Him, and I no longer doubt
He's touched my heart and it altered every plan I've made
And now I feel that I don't have to be afraid

Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny
And you can't move on even though you try
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you never feel
Oh I'm so glad that this is real
Ain't it funny how a Mormon could just change your life
And you don't want to anything but right
Ain't it strange how the Spirit can play a part
In the story of your heart
I locked away my heart
But He just set it free
Emotions I felt held me back from what my life should be
I pushed Him far away
And yet He sent His light to me
I guess this means
That all of this was meant to be

Elders
by me
to the tune of "Popcorn Popping"

I looked out the window and what did I see?
Elders lining up all just for me
The Lord has sent me such a nice surprise
Dozens of elders right before my eyes

I'll take 'em by the armful 'cause they're so sweet
Being with elders is such a treat
They love to serve the Lord
And that's just fine by me
So many elders that I love to see

I Love To See The Elders
by myself and Rudi O.
to the tune of "I Love to See the Temple"

I love to see the elders
I love to hear them pray
I love their great example
I love all they say!

For the elders are all called of God
And perform their righteous duty
As true sons they serve the Lord
With great spiritual beauty

I love to see their nametags
I love each worn, black suit
I love to hear them teaching
And I love them 'cause they're cute

For the elders are all called of God
And perform their righteous duty
As true sons they serve the Lord
With great spiritual beauty

I love to see the elders
I'll marry one some day
I'll wait two years while he's gone
I'll miss him every day

For the elders are all called of God
And perform their righteous duty
As true sons they serve the Lord
With great spiritual beauty

Laman and Lemuel's "Courage"
by me
to the tune of "Nephi's Courage"

The Lord commanded Laman to go to Laban's house.
Laman was a chicken - he'd rather eat a mouse.
Crying and whining, he sent Nephi instead,
Then when it was over, he wanted Nephi dead.

"I will go, I will do, the things Satan commands,
I know the Lord provides a way-
But I won't listen cause I'm gay.
I will go, I will do, the things Satan commands,
I know the Lord provides a way-
But I won't listen cause I'm gay."

The Lord commanded Lemuel to help Nephi build their boat.
If Lemuel was in the Old T. he'd've wanted Joseph's coat.
Against his little brother, he plotted all day long.
It took him until dinner - his mind wasn't very strong.

The Lord gave them commandments and asked them to obey,
But they were very bad and didn't even pray.
They never listened, they were such a rotten two.
They'll get what's coming - the bad guys always do.

Personal Progress
by me
to the tune of "You're Not Alone", by Michael McLean

Here's a little song
To help you get along
When you've slacked off
And haven't done your goals
And though it's not profound
When you hear nagging all around, all around
Sing this little tune
And you'll be finished soon

I'm still not done
Even though I should
It's just not fun
I'd rather go do
Just about anything else
To please myself
I'm still not done

And when I lie
And say I lost my book
I want to cry
Because I know
I let my leaders down
And they all frown
I'm still not done

And I know that it's not easy
Though I save it all for last
We're doing it on Wednesday
I hope the time goes fast…

I'm still not done
Please don't rub it in
I'm still not done
The months are flying by
I'm still on Faith
It's not a race
I'm still not done

I'm still not done
Even though I should
It's just not fun
I'd rather go do
Just about anything else
To please myself
I'm still not done
