Angles of God Will Step In (2006)

Text: Kenneth R Hardman, Music: Mark Petersen

1. On a trail worn and rocky they came
A pathway of saints bound for God
A valley of peace was their aim
With stranger and kin from abroad

Starting late in the year
They met snow as their fate
Surely the outlook was dim
You must offer each step as a prayer
And the angels of God will step in

2. In my life as I seek to do right
Temptation and trial cloud my view
Using faith, work and courage for light
Each day will begin bright and new

3. As I walk where they walked I can feel
That strength from above helped them through
Like them I know angels are real
Giving help from above to be true

Starting late in the year
They met snow as their fate
Surely the outlook was dim
You must offer each step as a prayer
And the angels of God will step in

(Written June 2006 for the Pleasant Grove Utah Battlecreek 4th Ward Youth Conference Handcart Trek in Wyoming)

Life Surrounds

Kenneth R. Hardman (2025)

1. I love the life that surrounds me the hope and the beauty
It's the life that has found me but no I can now see
You are the taste and the color a rose and a pure stream
And your one of a kindness brings life to the best dream

Please give me your hand, I'll give my heart and we will be
Two endless as sand, never to part forever the key

2. I'll try the skills of the ages which dwell in the best man
Search for wisdom and caring with sweat work this good land
You will inspire all glory from He who knows all things
And a touch for bestowing the gift from a new queen

Please give me your hand, I'll give my heart and we will be
Two endless as sand, never to part forever the key

I love the life that surrounds me the hope and the beauty

Talk About (2025)

Kenneth R Hardman (2025)

1. Each night before we'd pray
Each child in their own way
Let's talk about, they'd say
Let's talk about the day
They'd tell about their friends
The real and the pretend
The good, the bad and then
They'd hear their father say

There's nothing you can do
To change my love for you
There's nothing you can say
Would turn my heart away
There's nothing I won't do
To show my heart's still true
I'm always here for you
Let's talk about

2. Each child now on their own
With memories they have grown
I pray for them each day
God takes in all I say
Like echos in my ear
A loving Father near
Let's talk about, I hear
I hear my Father say

There's nothing you can do
To change my love for you
There's nothing you can say
Would turn my heart away
There's nothing I won't do
To show my heart's still true
I'm always here for you
Let's talk about
