Two Hymns

In church today I was reflecting on the power of music and poetry during the sacrament hymn. Suddenly, I remembered the 2 hymns I have written. They only existed in hard copy, so I thought I should probably digitize and preserve them. In case you're interested, I'm posting them here. I haven't played either of them in a long time, and by now I think I have forgotten how. I'm pretty sure there are some errors in the music, but at least now I can rest assured that the songs are saved.

The first one is called Savior, Please. I wrote it as a Freshmen at BYU. With the help of Aunt Ann and her software we transcribed it.


Savior, Please Hymn

This next one I wrote on my mission. Pondering how to help people realize the importance of the Book of Mormon, I realized that there weren't very many hymns about it. Thus, I wrote a hymn called The Book of Mormon. I shared it in a district meeting, but nothing else ever became of it. The following is the original transcription that I wrote on my p-day.

The Book of Mormon, Hymn

that's so cool you've written those hymns. i want to hear you record them. maybe next Christmas we're all together, we should sing them.
