(This is for :iconanycarrp-annabelle:. I don't expect her to be a Mormon, but I think she'll at least like this song.)

(This is how the melody sounds.  I sang this song in the Ward Choir in church today, but the tenor's melody was somewhat different in verse 3 and the refrain [where as was some of the rhythm], but in verse 1, only the women sang, while they were in the background in verse 2.)

(Written entirely by Sally DeFord.)

*My associate, Woodrow Webpaw, has a piano brought, as does my [fictional] sister Shannon a flute. They then start the song.*

:sing: Write Thy name upon my heart,
Jesus, Savior of mankind.
Teach me charity unfailing.
Teach me compassion, Lord, like Thine.

Endow my soul with loving kindness.
Make me even as Thou art.
Engrave Thine image in my countenance.
Write Thy name upon my heart.

When battles rage, when storms arise,
Make me a messenger of peace.
Teach me tolerance and meekness
And faith to bid the tempest cease.

Endow my soul with loving kindness.
Make me even as Thou art.
Engrave Thine image in my countenance.
Write Thy name upon my heart.

Grant me strength to serve Thee well.
Light my spirit with Thy grace
Till all my works reflect Thy goodness,
Till all my labors sing Thy praise.

Endow my soul with loving kindness.

Make me even as Thou art.
Engrave Thine image in my countenance.
(*STOPS FOR A BREATH*)
Write Thy name upon my heart.
