A Handmaid of the Lord
Inspired by the stories of faithful women in scripture and their encounters with Jesus Christ.

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….
Remember Him is an original song I wrote over 3 years ago, but revised and refined it further last year for our Christmas program at Church.
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?”
This is an upbeat arrangement of the LDS Hymn “Praise to the Man” with a new refrain and second verse centered around Jehovah/Jesus Christ.
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.
Some projects I do require more time than others, and Covenant Road is one that required a deeper effort from me in every area.
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.
This Lullaby was written for Eli. Eli has since passed away from GM1 Gangliosidosis at the age of 11, in May 2020. Some of the photos in this video are of Eli as a baby. Comment below about a beautiful baby in your life!
Weighed down with sorrow today
I see you struggling in every way
Nights are long and heavy and sad
Few and fewer moments when you’re glad
Lullaby Princess is a sweet little lullaby written for a baby girl, my baby girl. I made it up 13
This song is dedicated to the people, places and memories that make us feel at home.
