Last year, the Young Women’s president in our ward asked if I would write a song for the New Theme this year. At the time, I was working hard on my musical, and I had no idea how I was going to make that happen.
At a choir practice a couple weeks later, a good friend of mine leaned over and whispered that she had some ideas for the Young Women song. She said she just kept getting these ideas and melodies floating around in her head. I said, “That’s great! I’ll help YOU write it!” She kind of looked at me like I was crazy, but last Sunday our Young Women sang through the song which I told the girls was completely written by my friend, Teri Garritson.
I helped her to get her melody on paper, and she continued to work on the lyrics. Once we got the melody down, I played in a basic accompaniment and she said, “I could do that!”. She made an amazing accompaniment, and it turned out beautifully. I think it even means more to the girls because it came from the Spirit. She has never written a song before, but truly, it is beautiful. I’m glad that she is allowing others to download it. I’m sure others will enjoy it as well. You can download the song here.
