So I found out that these two songs can be sung to the other's melody, and was super excited to put them together into a medley. I'm a singer though--not a musician. So when we tried it in Primary we saw very quickly that it was NOT going to work. It just sounded wrong. That's the extent of my piano knowledge. So I took it to the Piano Guru in my ward, Luana Moulton. She took a look at it and pointed out that the problem is that they are in different meters AND different keys. And being the amazing person she is, she transposed Heroes of the Scriptures so that it's in 4/4 time and in the same key. And it's GREAT! So if you are interested in this new medley, here is the order and you can download the altered pages below:

Scripture Power/ Heroes of the Scriptures Medley
(Scripture Power Melody)
1. Because I want to be like the Savior and I can
I’m reading His instructions, I’m following His plan
Because I want the power his words will give to me,
I’m changing how I live, I’m changing what I’ll be
(Heroes of the Scriptures Melody)
2. I want to be like Noah, obedient to the Lord
Courageous like Queen Esther and Ammon with his sword,
Like Ruth, I would be faithful, like Moses I’d be true
Examples in the scriptures can teach me what to do
3. I want to be like Daniel, and stand up for the right
Like Joseph Smith, seek wisdom in prayer for Heaven’s light
Sariah’s strength on journeys and Alma’s change of heart
Inspire me to choose wisely, repent and do my part
(Scripture Power Melody)
Scripture Power, keeps me safe from sin
Scripture power is the power to win
Scripture power, every day I need
The power that I get each time I read
(to the Scripture Power verse melody)
4. I want to be like Mary, rejoicing in the truth;
Like Samuel and Moroni, who listened in their youth
Examples in the scriptures can help me to become
Obedient, brave and holy—more like God’s perfect son
(Scripture Power Melody)
Scripture Power, keeps me safe from sin
Scripture power is the power to win
Scripture power, every day I need
The power that I get each time I read
