More about Claire Chell:
I have always loved music, sacred music especially, even from a young age. I taught myself to play the piano using showtunes and the LDS Hymnbook and Children's Songbook. Janice Kapp Perry is my hero! Despite my love of music, I've always been terrified to perform and a few horrifying experiences in my early youth caused me to set aside playing the piano; I'd lost my love for it. Fast forward many years and I am now, with my husband, raising 3 gorgeous girlies, who like mama, also love music. We were fortunate enough to save a lot of money during the COVID19 pandemic due to not buying fuel for the cars, that we were able to afford a digital piano. I returned to teaching myself to play and I've been studying music theory alongside it. I then discovered music writing software! Now I thought maybe, just maybe, I could write a song. My second daughter's baptism was approaching and this seemed the perfect opportunity to try. God evidently thought so too because words and melody came to me as I was enjoying a swim one day soon after. My daughter and I even performed it at her baptism which was a huge deal for us, both being very shy performers. I have discovered an absolute love for writing music, and sharing it has been a way for me to share my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and connect with other people across the world.

Song background:

I wanted a song that helped primary children understand what it means to "serve [God] with all your heart, might, mind and strength" (Doctrine & Covenants 4:2). I attemped to equate heart with love, might with power, mind with intellectual/intelligence, and strength with effort. We all have the capacity to love our God and our neighbour. Power comes through striving to keep our covenants and live righteously. Intelligence can be linked with our ability to learn, develop talents and acquire spiritual gifts. Energy can mean the effort we give to something acknowledging that our best one day, will be different from our best yeaterday or tomorrow. The Lord loves effort. He's invited us to be a part of His work and I hope this song represents some of the ways we can do our part.

Lyrics: I’ll Give My All (Heart, Might, Mind & Strength)

VERSE 1
I can be a true and loyal friend,
be kind in word and deed.
I can lift another when they're down,
and share what I believe.
I can use my talents and my gifts
to build the Church of Christ.
And with effort I will try my best
to lead others to God's light.

CHORUS
With all my heart, with all my might,
with all my mind and strength,
I will serve my Heav'nly Father and His children.
I'll try so hard, I won't hold back,
I want to do my part,
to work with God and help to build His kingdom.

VERSE 2
I will strive to keep my covenants
and walk by humble faith.
I will let my light shine bright each day,
repent and seek God's grace.
I'll be faithful in the work that God
has sent me here to do.
And with courage I will follow Christ
and help others follow too.

(Repeat chorus)
