Today’s #ShareGoodness Idea: Enjoy the song “Share Goodness.”

Singer and musician Rick Graham was impressed with Elder David A. Bednar’s address “To Sweep the Earth As With A Flood” last August. As he thought about the message about sharing the gospel through social media and the hashtag #ShareGoodness, a tune popped into his head. He collaborated with fellow Mormon Tabernacle Choir member, Michael Young, who wrote lyrics, and the song “Share Goodness” was born.

Enjoy the sheet music and words to the song below.

Share God’s goodness with your neighbor, share His gifts with gratitude.
Turn your gentle thoughts to actions, give a cheerful attitude.
When dark thoughts depress your mind, drive them out with service kind.
Share God’s goodness with your neighbor, share His gifts with gratitude.

Share with those who need the gospel, share and plant its tender seeds.
Give to all the living water, quench the thirsty soul who needs
Faith’s full flower soon will bud, as these drops become a flood!
Share with those who need the gospel, share and plant its tender seeds.

Share when prompted by the Spirit, share with wisdom and control.
Working through you, God our Father, seeks to heal, to bless, console.
The Spirit knows just what to say to each one in his own way.
Share when prompted by the Spirit, share with wisdom and control.

Share your light and do not falter. Share with all, do not delay.
Soon there comes a night of darkness, work while it is called “today”.
Then with many you’ll find rest in our Father’s kingdom blessed.
Share your light and do not falter. Share with all, do not delay.
