| For the Beauty of the Earth |
|
| A tribute to all the Sister Missionaries in Kirtland, Ohio who I love so dearly! Arranged Fujian style, this hymn was sung many times in our efforts and successes of touching the lives of the community, by sharing our testimonies of the Savior through the spirit of the hymns! We did it sisters! |

| I Feel My Saviors Love |
|
| Our hearts can be healed as we strive to feel the Love of the Lord daily in our lives. This message has helped me to recognize more when I feel His Love, then I can help others to feel it too! This is charity, and it never fails! |

| Be Loyal to the Royal Within You |
|
| First written and performed at Rick’s College 1998 for Women’s Week, this song beautifully teaches the plan of Salvation and encourages us to stay Loyal to our Royal birthright as children of God.

Not so long ago we lived in heaven
Fiends and family all were there
Our father held us in His care
Then he proposed a wondrous plan
The destiny of every man
To learn and grow, and become like he is
Chorus
Be Loyal to the Royal within you
A child of Divinity
Born of Royal Destiny
Kings and Queens of Worlds our Father wants us all to be
If we will only serve Him, Faithfully
So we all came to this earth to be tested
We knew it would not be easy here
But the Father and His Son are near
There with us every step we take
If we keep the promises we make
To learn and grow and become like he is
Someday we will all go home to meet Him
He’ll look into our eyes and say
Have you followed the righteous way
And if we’ve kept the Lords commands
We’ll know without a second glance
We’ve learned and grown and become like He is |
| Where Can I turn for Peace |
|
| The first two verses express the longing for somewhere to turn for help in our trials, and the third verse finally resolves this longing with He who is the answer, the one who calms and reassures and who is the ultimate source of comfort and solace. |

| Come Thou Fount |

| God is Love |
|
| This hymn is a beautiful reminder that everything around us which is good and beautiful, testifies that God is Love. |

| The Spirit of God |
|
| Holding a special place in my heart, this hymn brings me back to Kirtland, Ohio where I served as a missionary. Having the privilege of singing this hymn many times in the Kirtland Temple, it has a sacred meaning and always reminds me of the knowledge and power of God in restoring the Gospel to the earth. |

| There is a Green Hill Far Away |
|
| I can’t listen to this hymn without thinking of my Dad. Growing up we always knew this was his favorite hymn. It reminds me of my parents testimonies, and how they have shared it with me. And now I can share my personal testimony of the Savior, and of the ultimate Sacrifice he made for all of us. |
