Write Thy Name Upon My Heart

A song I had never heard before was performed at our stake Relief Society meeting, following the General Relief Society broadcast on Saturday.

Endow my soul with loving kindness...

Can't seem to get that line out of my head.

So in the wee hours of this first day of October, awake and unable to sleep, I googled it. Here are the lyrics for the entire song:

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
'Til all my works reflect thy goodness
'Til all my labors sing thy praise
Endow my soul with loving kindness
Make me even as thou art
Engrave thine image in my countenance
Write thy name upon my heart

I checked out the recordng on the site and didn't like the male vocal and "church music" production. I prefer the version I heard -- sisters' voices accompanied by piano.

Simple. Powerful.

Endow my soul...
