One in the Son

I first composed this song for a Relief Society Sister's Retreat with the theme of "One in the Son". One of my very favorite things about the Relief Society, is socializing with the other sisters in my church, and learning and laughing with them.

For this particular evening, we did a slide show using pictures of many of the woman as we played this song.

There is someone who is aching
and in need of someone's care
and I know that you would help them
if you only were aware
There is no way we can brighten
every sky that's turned to gray
but a smile or expression
just might make somebody's day

(Chorus)
So put your arm around your neighbor
Say hello to someone new
Bring a gift of love that's from above
there's so much you can do!
And if someone comes to greet you,
don't be surprised that they love you;
Cause together we are one... in the son

In the times when you feel lonely
or you wish someone would call
Don't just sit there feeling lonely
and not do anything at all
Lose yourself in helping others
try to brighten someone's day
Find how serving makes you happy
and how cares just melt away.

(Chorus)

Cause we are all brothers and sisters
linked together through our Father's plan
and I know the Lord wants to bless us
if we're doing the best we can...

(Chorus)

Yes, together we are one.... in the son.
