I Am a Child of God (Accompaniment)
A piano accompaniment written to fit Hymn # 301 in the LDS Hymnbook.
When the Son of God Was Born
My 2006 Christmas Card Carol.
Anthem of Praise
This whimsical little piece is an upbeat, rather breathless setting of the words of Francis of Assisi, with a few additions of my own.
And His Name Shall Be Called Wonderful
This song weaves Isaiah’s well-loved verse into a modern lyric.
An Instrument in Thy Hand
Tune thou my song to tell thy glory; My every anthem to adore thee; Thus as thy witness will I stand; Lord, make me an instrument in thy hand.
An Angel to Watch Over Me
Make a list of all the things mothers do and you’ll run out of paper. These lyrics are based on the singable list, but the less poetic list, for which I am also grateful, is hovering there in the background.
All Creation Speaks His Name
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”
Hymn of Grateful Praise
“For the Beauty of the Earth” set to the melody “Scarborough Fair,” for Solo or SSAATTBB, both with violin obbligato.
Abide With Me
Words by Henry F. Lyte (adapted); Melody by William H Monk (adapted); Arranged by Sally DeFord
A Place in His Arms
“And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.”
A Mother’s Silent Prayer
Every loving, selfless thing my mother did for me was an unspoken prayer on my behalf.
A Manger Filled With Love
My 1997 Christmas Card Carol.
A Holy Child is Born
Jesus was born in an obscure town in a small land, without earthly fanfare. Quietly. And so the emphasis of this Christmas song rests on the word “quietly.”
A Heaven on Earth
It *is* possible to make home a bit of heaven. It happened to our family once, for about ten minutes back in 1992.
Arise and Shine Forth
This song was my unofficial contribution to the 2006 LDS Mutual (youth program) theme, “Arise and shine forth that thy light may be a standard for the nations.”
