Garrett's Song for Landon

Today we received an awesome package from Elder Garrett Kundis in the mail. Not only did we get some great letters and. . .interesting tasting Swedish chocolate; we also received some music. The amazing thing about the music is that the first song on the three-song CD is an original song by Elder Kundis himself. He wrote it for his soon-to-be born nephew, Landon. We wanted to share this wonderful song with our friends and family. We love Garrett so much and love him for his amazing talent. He truly has been blessed and is sharing his talents with all as he preaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Sweden.

In the player to the right you can hear the three songs that he sent us in his package. The first one titled "Hey There Little One" is the song that Garrett wrote for Landon. The lyrics can be found below. Just as a side note, the other two songs are church Hymns in Swedish.

"Hey There Little One"

Hey there little one
Hush your crying now
Shield your eyes, hold them tight
Remembering somehow

Paint familiar faces
Etch them in your mind
Heaven will be something
That soon you'll have to find

Hey there little one
Sleep and dream once more
Take one last look around
Before leaving heaven's door

What are you feeling
Try to make it last
Soon you'll start your new life
And leave this in the past

'Cause when you open your eyes
And see the world
Let the world see heaven
Starin' them right back

When you take your first look
Take a note
Of what you wanna change, you need to change
To bring us back to heaven

Hey there little one
Calm your troubled heart
I'll be here to hold you
To guide you from the start

I will keep you safe
From this crazy place
Keep you until the day
You share amazing grace

'Cause when you open your eyes
And see the world
Let the world see heaven
Starin' them right back

When you take your first look
Take a note
Of what you wanna change, you need to change
To bring us back to heaven

Because one day
You'll get the chance
To change this crazy place

So use that
Celestial glow
To bring us back
Bring us back
Bring us back

'Cause when you open your eyes
And see the world
Let the world see heaven
Starin' them right back

When you take your first look
Take a note
Of what you wanna change, you need to change
To bring us back to heaven
