Dear to the Heart of the Shepherd – New Testament Version
The stories (bible videos depictions) included within this arrangement are: The Prodigal Son, Jesus teaching to seek the Kingdom of God and The Parable of the Lost Sheep.
The Lord Is My Shepherd for John 7-10
The suggested song for April 24-30’s Come Follow Me lesson is “The Lord Is My Shepherd”. If you have been following me since I began this project, you may remember that I had already done a video of this song for the old testament study of the book of Psalms. You can find it here: The Lord Is My Shepherd – Psalms Although the music is the same as last time, the video has been updated to include applications for these sections of scripture in John 7-10. I love that the Savior declares to the people, referring back to the writings of David in the book of psalms, that He is that good shepherd!
Jesus Said Love Everyone
The suggested song for April 17-23rd’s Come Follow Me lesson is “Jesus Said Love Everyone”. It is a short, sweet and simple song found in the Primary Children’s Songbook. It has a clear message…. to love everyone! I appreciate the Parable of the Good Samaritan and included some clips from the film the Church of Jesus Christ made for it, along with another modern day example of a “good Samaritan”. If you haven’t watched these full videos, they can be found in this week’s Come Follow Me Lesson.
I Believe in Christ
The suggested song for April 10-16’s Come Follow Me lesson is “I Believe in Christ”. In my opinion, this is one of the more powerful hymns found in the LDS hymn book; I love it. The title of the lesson is “Thou Art the Christ” and studies Matthew 15-17 and Mark 7-9.
Jesus Has Risen/To Think About Jesus Medley
The suggested song for this special Easter week topic is “Jesus Has Risen.” As I was looking over this song in the Primary Songbook, I noticed the song next to it is “To Think About Jesus.” I played around with both of them and decided to combine the two into a medley. “To Think About Jesus” is one of my Mother’s favorite primary songs. She plays the piano and has accompanied for Primary many times. I felt that combining the two songs adds to the depth of the arrangement. I hope you enjoy!
