Sunday Will Come

Sunday Will Come

I began writing this song in April 2021 after discovering Elder Wirthlin’s talk, ‘Sunday Will Come.’ At the time, it had been nearly a year since Eli passed away, and I was finally starting to feel a deeper sense of healing than I had in the months prior. Six months ago, I revisited the piece to refine what I’d originally written. While the melody, structure, and lyrics have changed significantly to make the message clearer for every listener, the heart of the song remains the same. It is still a story of endurance, healing, and finding hope through the power, mercy & resurrection of Christ.

Remember Him (Choral)

In short, to “always remember him” means that we do not live our lives in fear. We know that challenges, disappointments, and sorrows will come to each of us in different ways, but we also know that in the end, because of our divine Advocate, all things can be made to work together for our good

Come to Know Him

I am hoping the song will speak for itself. But in writing it, I tried to inspire action on the topic that I was asked to write about…”How can we come to know Jesus Christ in the scriptures so that one day, when he comes again, we will actually know him and have a close relationship with him?”

The Worth of Souls is Great to Thee

Over five years ago I wrote a hymn to submit to the new Church hymnbook (it didn’t get selected). A few months ago, I came back to this hymn to look over it and see if I should record it, but I found it needed a lot of improvement. With some time, perspective and more experience with all I have been working on since then, I could see that it needed more work. The message of the song is largely the same, but much clearer and more clarified.

Remember Him – Christmas Song

Remember Him – Christmas Song

This song came about because of an invitation to sing at my Relief Society Activity at Church. As I thought about what I could sing, I realized that maybe I could write a song that would be exactly about the topic of bringing Jesus into the Holidays. Through working and re-working it, the song eventually evolved to what it is and I am pleased with the result. Creating this song and music video has already affected my intention and feelings about this holiday and a few times, even my behavior. I hope it helps bring others closer to Christ.

Drift and Dream

Beautiful baby Lucas was a miracle baby. He was at a zero (apgar score), when he was born, but they were able to revive him. Four days later, after his cooling treatment, I was able to hold him for the first time. We have enjoyed every second we’ve been able to rock, hold and care for this little guy.
