MISSIONARY PRAYER

Music and Lyrics by Vibeke Lindhardt

2014

Father in heaven. Please hear my plea.

For I have a loved one in service to Thee.

Please give him wisdom to know what to do.

And give him the courage to teach what is true.

Please let help him develop his faith, so he’ll pray

to Thee for the guidance – today - and each day.

Please keep him from harm and so safe in your arms.

That those who at home, will not be alarmed.

Please give him the strength to escape every snare.

That his soul will feel safe from temptations that’s there.

Please give him the patience to learn and to know

of customs and people in places he goes.

Please let him be radiant from love that he shares.

And able to teach and to show that he cares.

Please let him just know that I wait cheerfully.

For that glorious day Thou return him to me.

Father in heaven. Please hear my plea.

For I have a loved one in service for thee.

Please let him just know that I wait cheerfully.

For that glorious day Thou return him to me.

UPON THE WINGS OF HIS SPIRIT

Music and Lyrics by Vibeke Lindhardt

When I’m down and gloomy

In the valley of my sorrow

When temptations snare me

Only darkness follow.

But when my path is straighter.

The Road Is clear before me.

Upon the wings of his Spirit

My soul is free to fly.

When sins controls – besets m.

My heart gets dark and dreary

Because of my afflictions

My enemies are cheery.

But when my anger leaves me

My strength returns to me.

Upon the Wings of his spirit

My soul is free to fly.

My souls is strong and willing

My flesh is weak and faint.

Temptations all around me.

Excuses and complaints.

But day by day I get bolder.

My voice he hears on high.

Upon the Wings of his spirit.

My soul is free to fly.

Book of Mormon

2 Nephi chapter 4

SELFISH ME

Yes, I guess I was too selfish

To fall in love so hard and deep.

Treasuring your touch and caring.

Thinking love was mine to keep.

Selfish me. I needed your loving.

Wishing you would feel the same.

Not just then, but now and ever.

That our love we could reclaim.

Yes, I guess I was too selfish

Hoping you would understand.

That my love for you is stronger

Than I had for any man.

Selfish me. I needed your loving.

Wishing you would feel the same.

Not just then, but now and ever.

That our love we could reclaim.

Yes, I guess I was too selfish

To hope the day we made a pact.

Promises would last forever.

Hoping it would be a fact.

Selfish me. I needed your loving.

Wishing you would feel the same.

Not just then, but now and ever.

That our love we could reclaim.

song

Text by Vibeke and Bent 2013.

The melody is an old melody Bent composed around 1960 In Denmark.

Recorded by John Houston and Vibeke 2013.

One day I was on Facebook

To see what happened there.

What my “friends” were doing.

My friends from everywhere.

There were so many messages.

And many greetings sent.

But one message that stood out

It said “ Hi Bent”

How Are you?

Is It true.

That your sitting there alone

And feeling blue?

I’m looking for a man

and it might just be that you

are the one that likes to be

my real beau?

I did not know who wrote me

But I knew it was a girl.

Do I know you sweetie?

You sound just like a pearl.

Oh, her maiden name was Madsen.

And her hair was really red.

Then I remembered her sweet face

And then I said:

How Are you?

Is It true

That your sitting there alone

and feeling blue?

I’m looking for a wife

and it might just be that you

are the one that likes to be

my real beau?

We started corresponding

About this and a-bout that.

About the good old days.

Some happy and some sad.

We built up loving feelings.

A’little more than “friend” to “friend”

And agreed that they would like

To meet again.

How Are you?

Is It true

That your sitting there alone

and feeling blue?

I’m looking for a spouse

and it might just be that you

are the one who likes to

live here in my house.

Before the months was over

they were married and it’s true.

We were no more lonely.

We were no more feeling blue.

It sounds just like a fairy tale.

But it is really true.

It can happen to us all.

Yes even you.

How Are you?

Is It true

That you’re sitting there alone

And feeling blue?

If you’re looking for a spouse

it might just be that it’s you

That one-day on Facebook

You will find a beau.

Bent and Vibeke met on Facebook May 23^rd 2011. They were married 24 June 2011.

WITHIN THE TEMPLE WALLS

Music and Lyrics by Vibeke Lindhartd

2013

The first temple ever built in Utah

St. George, Utah, USA temple

Within the temple walls

Where peace is all around

Away from all the noise and stress

We hardly hear a sound.

Within the temple walls

We wish that we could stay.

And do the work for families

Without some more delay.

Within the temple walls

Is a place where we can rest

and feel the peace within our soul

We feel so very blessed.

Within the temple walls

Is safety for the soul.

Be worthy of the recommend.

Is our eternal goal.

STICKY FINGERS

Lyrics by Vibeke Lindhardt

Melody: The old Danish song: “Tommelfinger”

Written for my two grandchildren Kaela and Louisa who always had "sticky" fingers when they were small.
