One of our very favorite songs in primary is Scripture Power. We don't get sing it very often because we're busy learning new songs for this year's primary program, but every now and then our music leader sneaks it in when we have time, and every time we sing it I feel the truth of it.
Scripture Power
Because I want to be like the Savior and I can,
I’m reading his instructions, I’m following his plan.
Because I want the power his word will give to me.
I’m changing how I live; I’m changing how I’ll be.
Chorus:
Scripture Power keeps me safe from sin
Scripture Power is the power to win.
Scripture power! Everyday I need,
The power that I get each time I read.
I’ll find the sword of truth, in each scripture that I learn.
I’ll take the shield of faith from these pages that I turn.
I’ll wear each vital part of the armor of the Lord.
And fight my daily battles, and win a great reward.
Chorus:
Scripture Power keeps me safe from sin
Scripture Power is the power to win.
Scripture power! Everyday I need,
The power that I get each time I read.

Comment Window Tidbit: No really, it's fine, I love talking to myself. I write this blog for me and my family anyway, so it's good to have a great reminder of that every now and again. I can take it.

Your comment is hilarious up top. I feel like saying this sometimes but then always chicken out. We sang this song today also! Our sharing time was very short so we had a few minutes to sing some favorites.
I sing church songs to strengthen myself spiritually. I can always get uplifted quickly with that.
I need to get posting again. There just isn't much to post about lately. I don't think anyone wants to read about my fighting kids and us cleaning out rooms. Kind of boring.
P.s, I would love to feel like empty nesters even once in a while. We have never been able to be alone at home together...ever. We could get sooo much done!
Well then I hope you still don't mind that I read you every day... even though I have been awful about commenting. I am sorry. I know how good comments feel!
Love Scripture Power. What a great song and message. Love how enthusiastic the kids are when they sing it!
I love this song! I almost used it in my post last week. I especially love how they relate the armor of God to reading the scriptures.
Good thoughts.
That is one of my favorite Primary songs. My absolute favorite is I Feel My Savior's Love -- it gets me every time.
We are in a good habit of family scripture study, but my personal study is more sporadic. I am making that one of my top goals of "things to do this summer" -- along with finally getting all of our boxes unpacked from the garage. (We only moved in DECEMBER, ugg)
My 3 year old would sing this song as he walked around Disney World on our vacation. He also would sing follow the prophet.
I have been feeling this same thing today as I had the chance to spend a little extra time studying my scriptures. That song is new since I was in primary (okay, "new" is relative) so every time they sing it in primary I only sorta know it and I just mumble along. Whitney's pink polka dotted dress is adorable!
You have a talent for writing these Sunday thoughts. I always enjoy them. Thanks Jill.
oh man. i need to remember this more. i am not feeling so spiritually strong lately. i'm not taking the time to do anything that strengthens me- and instead, everything seems to drain me. this is a really good reminder.
and your leave your comment thing is cracking me up, btw. :)
I think having faith and not being a worrier is a wonderful spiritual gift. Doing what you can to strengthen yourself is always a wise choice.
I do love that song!
I love this song too. I was in the primary presidency when it came out in the Friend and our music leader loved the song and taught it to the kids. We sing it at the beginning of every family scripture study.
That song makes me cry every time! Love it.
I love this song and often have it playing in my head. My kids go bonkers over this song, too.
I just got called as Primary Secretary. I like how you take an occasional photo of your primary.
I don't spend as much time as I should on strengthening myself spiritually.
I've come to realize that the sole purpose of life is to deal with life. That's the test. Life isn't a race, but an obstacle course. I used to take difficulties so personally, but now I realize that if things were meant to be easy we might as well have stayed in heaven.
