What Sticks- Write it Down

What sticks to the walls of your heart

From all you have learned at conference?

How often do you feel God impart

His love and wisdom for a difference?

Write it down 

And let it grow within

To reach you,

With love. That what's written

Can teach you again and again

When you come to church, expect this

As you partake of the sacrament 

As you hear the talks and lessons

Here something, just for you is meant.

Write it down 

And let it grow within

To reach you,

With love. That what's written

Can teach you again and again

As you read from His holy word

Pray that it be a part of your life

You will feel love, holier

As you seek out what for you has light

Write it down 

And let it grow within

To reach you,

With love. That what's written

Can teach you again and again

As you serve, working as His hands

From what you have learned impart

Together then to understand

That every soul has a part

And He writes upon the heart

[Verse 1] What sticks to the walls of your heart From all you have learned at conference? How often do you feel God impart His love and wisdom for a difference? [Pre-Chorus] Write it down Let it grow within To reach you With love [Chorus] Write it down And let it grow Within your heart Again and again That what's written Can teach you Again and again (again and again) [Verse 2] When you come to church, expect this As you partake of the sacrament As you hear the talks and lessons Here something, just for you is meant [Pre-Chorus] Write it down Let it grow within To reach you With love [Chorus] Write it down And let it grow Within your heart Again and again That what's written Can teach you Again and again (again and again) [Verse 3] As you read from His holy word Pray that it be a part of your life You will feel love, holier As you seek out what for you has light [Bridge] As you serve, working as His hands From what you have learned impart Together then to understand That every soul has a part [Final Chorus] Write it down And let it grow Within your heart Again and again That what's written Can teach you Again and again (teach you again) And He writes Upon the heart (again and again)

Psalms 25  To You I Lift Up My Soul

Of David.a

1 To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;

2in You, my God, I trust.

Do not let me be put to shame;

do not let my enemies exult over me.

3Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame;

but those who engage in treachery without cause will be disgraced.

4Show me Your ways, O LORD;

teach me Your paths.

5Guide me in Your truth and teach me,

for You are the God of my salvation;

all day long I wait for You.

6Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion,

for they are from age to age.

7Remember not the sins of my youth,

nor my rebellious acts;

remember me according to Your loving devotion,

because of Your goodness, O LORD.

8Good and upright is the LORD;

therefore He shows sinners the way.

9He guides the humble in what is right

and teaches them His way.

10All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful

to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.

11For the sake of Your name, O LORD,

forgive my iniquity, for it is great.

12Who is the man who fears the LORD?

He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.

13His soul will dwell in prosperity,

and his descendants will inherit the land.

14The LORD confides in those who fear Him,

and reveals His covenant to them.

15My eyes are always on the LORD,

for He will free my feet from the mesh.

16Turn to me and be gracious,

for I am lonely and afflicted.

17The troubles of my heart increase;

free me from my distress.

18Consider my affliction and trouble,

and take away all my sins.

19Consider my enemies, for they are many,

and they hate me with vicious hatred.

20Guard my soul and deliver me;

let me not be put to shame,

for I take refuge in You.

21May integrity and uprightness preserve me,

because I wait for You.b

22Redeem Israel, O God,

from all its distress.

In the darkest moments

I read Psalms twenty five

Until I feel His peace

Come light and lift my mind

I feel His love wash over me

I know He hears my prayers

He knows my sorrows, my cares

I pray and share my feelings:

Lord, I am lonely

I am afflicted

I am troubled in my heart

How I feel dejected  

sad, depressed; dispirited

Still, I know who Thou art!

I come, fleeing commotion

Thou promises salvation

I feel Thy deep compassion

I come for love and devotion

Thou art good and upright

Thy ways are loving and faithful

Thou speaks and leads with Light

Reveal Thy path 

For mine in painful

Guide me, 

Teach me

Give me truth

Remember not the sins of my youth

Forgive

My iniquity

My rebellious acts

I want but your goodness

I want to walk on Thy righteous path

Free my feet from the mesh

Come teach me of Thy Way

Redeem me from distress

Humbly for this I pray

For Thy refuge I wait

Jesus Forgives Sins and Heals a Man Stricken with Palsy

Jesus said, "An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth"

Then, suddenly there was open sky

And a bed dropped from the roof 

Jesus spoke to this man

Palsied from birth

His sins were forgiven

He stood with worth!

He, humbly lowered

This man arose now healed

And hugged the Lord

Then walked home with his bed

Stratight away

Jesus was accused

Of blasphemy

Quietly, He mused

Then He turned to impart

"Why reason these things

Within your own heart?"

Healing and forgiving

Neither are easy

But, each are a blessing

Let us remember 

Jesus' words, His deeds

And as a member

Meekly follow His lead

Don't sink to the level
Of anger or fear
Resist not that evil
Keep your purpose near

Do all a favor
Speak of faith, not doubt
Look to the Savior
Keep His love about

If he strikes your cheek

Offer the other

Be bold and yet meek

Love one another

Then, hold up Christ's light
And seek to know His will
If it's right, then fight
Armed with righteousness, still

[Verse 1] Jesus said, An eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth Then, suddenly they saw the open sky And a bed dropped down from the roof Jesus spoke to this man Palsied from birth His sins were forgiven He stood with worth!

  39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

Step 12: Service - Erik’s Story about Drug Addiction Recovery

Within seconds, I was on the floor
It was an overdose!
I didn't want to live anymore
I landed flat on my nose
Shattered and in need of repair
I went to 12 step in spite of my face
Line upon line I came unto care
And my life started to fall into place
Because of what I now know
I return to recover every week
And in new ways, I still grow
To become strong, where I was weak

Face the music

And come clean

Addicts are sick

What's hidden gets seen

Face the music

And joy to your step

twelve steps. Do it

Our Savior will help
