Now and again something wonderful happens to me, and once in a while I am paying attention enough to recognize it. When I am really paying attention, I will attribute that thing as a yet another validation that my Heavenly Father loves me.
Today was one of those days. Something really good happened, and I am grateful. To show my gratitude, I came straight home and wrote a new verse to the classic children’s hymn, “My Heavenly Father Loves Me“. (Or as we called it when I was a kid “Whenever I hear the Song of a Bird.”)
Whenever I hear the song of a bird,
New Verse:
Today was a day that I could tell,
How wonderful things sometimes are,
I got the new taco from Taco Bell,
and ate it right there in the car
The shell is Doritos -the Nacho Cheese
they come in a new paper sleeve
You can ask for tomatoes and some sour cream,
but they’ll charge you and call it Supreme.

I believe this should be added to the hymnal with the next re-print.
I have no doubt you’d get along well with my 18 year old son. Although I believe, often, that he’s 18 going on 14, he’s very entertaining, creative and charismatic. Are you wondering if you’ve been insulted or complimented? Don’t think too hard, it’s a compliment.
Everyone’s missing the point! Don’t send it to Taco Bell. Sing it in Primary. And hand out tacos. You’d have to beat Primary volunteers off with a stick! Something that has never happened in the whole history of the church.
Oh man! Just read it to my DH and we both got a chuckle. Love it!
Haha! Doritos are so addicting. I could become morbidly obese if I were locked in a Dorito facroty. I would be like a goldfish and eat until I verily exploded. BLAM!
I wouldn’t hold my breath on the MoTab thing. I sent in what I thought were rather poignant lyrics lauding my love of penguin flannel pajamas to the tune of “Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree” (I woke up in the morning and what did I see?…), but all I got back was a generic form letter thanking me for my “submission”. It was signed by Lloyd Newell, though, so that was cool.
I’ve been hearing about this on The Browser (on KSL radio) the past little while and all I could think was, “EWWWWwwww…” Taco Bell….we’ve always called it Taco Something that Rhymes with Bell.
Have you seen this? http://restaurantequipmenttogo.com/2012/03/01/well-played-taco-bell/
Did you send it to Taco Bell?
ah ha! You have MoTab connections! That might of been yummy, but it’s so bad for you!
You should write Girls Camp songs for a living. ;o)
When I was little my Dad wrote a jingle for Doritos. We sent it in but they rejected it. Maybe you could have better luck than us!
Love seeing this new talent of yours!

I saw that Dorito taco and wished that I wasn’t on a diet and ordered my Fresco Burrito instead no cheese no sour cream It was a SAD SAD day but I have lost 10 lbs in 2 months so HA
That’s really good! But I don’t hear you writing songs about it.
It is brilliant! They would sing it for sure.
