Ring the Bell

[Verse 1] The sweat, the tears Almost giving up So many years The tests truly tough The all-nighters Writing, editing Reading highlighters Studying, tutoring [Pre-Chorus] But I made it here By Your steady hand Every fear I faced Could not stand I reached this mile I can see it now My knees get weak As I bow [Chorus] I want to ring the bell I want to ring the bell What joy, what joy to tell I’m known by the Lord so well I want to jump and clap and yell I want to ring the bell (What joy) I want to ring the bell [Verse 2] I just reached A major milestone Now I can ring That silver tone I felt You near When I was low You held my name And let me grow [Pre-Chorus] But I made it here By Your steady hand Every fear I faced Could not stand I reached this mile I can see it now My knees get weak As I bow [Chorus] I want to ring the bell I want to ring the bell What joy, what joy to tell I’m known by the Lord so well I want to jump and clap and yell I want to ring the bell (What joy) I want to ring the bell

[Bridge] I want to melt on a cloud of joy And float in happiness With angels in Heaven rejoice As I feel so, so blessed What gratitude fills my breast You carried me through it all What gratitude fills my breast Now I rise to answer Your call [Final Chorus] I want to ring the bell I want to ring the bell What joy, what joy to tell I’m known by the Lord so well I want to jump and clap and yell I want to ring the bell (What joy) I want to ring the bel

Rubble Hymn- The Rubble The Miracle The Healing

 

Verse 1] Who has money or something to offer Those inside stricken lands- oh, how they suffer The mass graves, the cement, the need of rescue The daylight hours, organization, and supply too few The brave journey through small cracks where everything stacks The skinny, the wiry, scoot along their backs And all the while, hope is ticking further away Midst fears of a next shock when all could then cave way [Pre-Chorus] The footage of people who are doing without Days since their last meal with their water all out The wounds all cemented and caked high with dust And, shamefully there are some you simply can't trust [Chorus] Healing is beginning Healing is beginning With love and also comfort With compassion extending [Verse 2] Then... on day three... still there's miracles As from the rubble a child..alive... one man pulls To the father... the mother... the sweet toddler smiles And meanwhile... the unfortunate... by thousands... in piles In truth all are homeless as none dare stay inside Any sheet or bit of clothing is their shade to reside But... what is that? Sweetly to be heard? Praising ...of God in song and in word... [Pre-Chorus] Healing is beginning Through love and also comfort How long... is the next question... And who'll help to rebuild? [Chorus] Healing is beginning Healing is beginning With love and also comfort With compassion extending [Bridge] For now... let the parched throats and bellies just be filled And from my home ever far away... prayers of concern are sent As tears give way, with gratitude, for the Lord's atonement And knowing all I have is given me of God I donate from my heart and watch my church community in awe Too, all around, efforts are being laid And generous donations are truly being made [Final Chorus] Healing is beginning Healing is beginning With love and also comfort With compassion extending May families reunite And come to know who they lost Be lifted to rise a new way With faith in God for their needs

at LDS newsroom one can see the LDS church is doing remarkable things...as we seem to be ever facing calamities all over the world... supplies were already on hand to ship

The Sacred, Potential and AI

 

Agency, accountability, and divine potential

is the path of each individual to perfect

Made up of sacred roles, knowledge, and experiences

That are social, relational, as we interconnect

More and more to devices we are turning

Expanding the information age

How AI effects humanity is concerning

As it impacts us in unprecedented ways

Our devices, phones, watches, and doorbells are watching

As our cars factories energy grids also function

In a virtual world data collecting and communicating

Analyzing, interpreting, and choosing what is to be done

For the flourishing of mankind

We ought to get away at times

and reconnect with our divine

Potential, 

balancing the spiritual and physical with our mind

Hearing God's voice

Listening to our bodies

In silence rejoice

And feel the Spirit's soft peace

[Verse 1] Agency, accountability And divine potential Is the path of each one To perfect what is sacred Made up of roles Knowledge and experiences That are social, relational And deeply interconnected [Pre-Chorus] More and more To devices we are turning Expanding This information age And I can feel it The question rising in us What this all becomes When it starts to shape our days [Chorus] Divine potential Divine potential We were made for more Hear God's voice Hear God's voice And let it lead you home [Verse 2] How AI effects humanity is concerning As it impacts us in unprecedented ways Our devices, phones, watches, and doorbells are watching As our cars factories energy grids also function In a virtual world Data collecting and communicating Analyzing, interpreting And choosing what is to be done [Pre-Chorus] More and more We hand the day to systems But there is still A voice inside the soul So pause and listen Let the noise fall quiet There is wisdom That the screen can never hold [Chorus] Divine potential Divine potential We were made for more Hear God's voice Hear God's voice And let it lead you home [Bridge] For the flourishing of mankind We ought to get away at times And reconnect with our divine potential Balancing the spiritual And physical with our mind In silence rejoice And feel soft peace [Final Chorus] Divine potential Divine potential We were made for more Hear God's voice Hear God's voice And let it lead you home In silence rejoice In silence rejoice And feel soft peace

Lifted Out

Verse 1]

By virtue of the word of God We are lifted out of a dark fog To a high place where there's much to see A glimpse of what's brighter and uplifting May what we read open up our hearts Where a portion of God's love imparts May the Holy Ghost leave an imprint To witness that mercy has been sent [Pre-Chorus] From this viewpoint, it's hard to believe That we once lived in a world of eve Just getting by, using borrowed light Now we stand in warmth and bright sunlight [Chorus] Lifted out, lifted up By the word of God Lifted out, lifted up We can see so far Lifted out, lifted up Mercy has been sent Lifted out, lifted up Love leaves its imprint [Verse 2] From this vantage, there is much to see Much to feel inside growing Here to gain in capacity and love Finding wisdom from Heaven above May our eyes stay open to the sky May our hands keep reaching high May the truth remain within our song And make our weary hearts grow strong [Pre-Chorus] From this viewpoint, it's hard to believe That we once lived in a world of eve Just getting by, using borrowed light Now we stand in warmth and bright sunlight [Chorus] Lifted out, lifted up By the word of God Lifted out, lifted up We can see so far Lifted out, lifted up Mercy has been sent Lifted out, lifted up Love leaves its imprint [Bridge] Give us ears to hear it Give us hearts to keep it Let the truth refine us Let Your love define us From this viewpoint, we are changed From this vantage, we are raised [Chorus] Lifted out, lifted up By the word of God Lifted out, lifted up We can see so far Lifted out, lifted up Mercy has been sent Lifted out, lifted up Love leaves its imprint

Alma 31: 5
5 And now, as the preaching of the word
had a great tendency to lead the people
to do that which was just—yea, it had a
more powerful effect upon the minds of the
people than the sword, or anything else,
which had happened unto them—
therefore Alma thought it was expedient
that they should try the virtue of
the word of God.

Vilomah- Grief When You Outlive Your Children

 

You can be the best parent

Giving love day to day

But life can change in an instant

Your children can pass away

Then, with no one to pass on

Gone the loved ones your lived for

This is called vilomah

Or against the natural order

This grief cuts the deepest of all

For gone is your heart, in part

Mourning your hope of the future

Before it could ever start

The Bible shows this kind of sorrow

When David wept bitterly for his son

Or Job whose children were robbed of tomorrows

Still, for greatness these men were not done

Grief can strike you to the core

Even to make it hard to breathe

Ever there's strength in the Lord

Who tends to your wounds, as you grieve

If you know someone who suffers

From Vilomah, just love on them

Fill their empty arms with hugs, often

And be a listening ear

Pastor Greg Locke

Sanskrit word “Vilomah” — it means “against the natural order.” That’s why this grief cuts so much deeper. It’s not just losing someone you love — it’s losing a part of your future, your heart, and everything you hoped for. It’s completely unnatural. It’s confusing. It takes your breath away. The Bible shows us this kind of sorrow, like when David wept bitterly for Absalom or when Job lost all his children in one day. It shakes a parent to the core. The pain doesn’t really go away. It just changes.
But thank God, He is close to the brokenhearted and He binds up their wounds. If you know a parent who’s been through this, just love on them, sit with them, and give them grace. They need it more than you know

God, hold what was torn asunder.
