Songwriting is the act of baring one's soul to another in the form of words and music.
I Know That My Redeemer Lives is the hymn I chose to do this week. The suggested song for the New Testament lesson “A Minister and a Witness” was actually “My Redeemer Lives” which has a similar title, but different lyrics and music. I decided to use a previously recorded version (done for the book of Job in the Old Testament) since I felt it still fit very well with the message of the lesson in Acts chapters 22-28.
I Am a Child of God is the suggested song for the New Testament lesson “The Lord Had Called Us for to Preach the Gospel” studying the acts of the apostles as recorded in Acts 16-21 and can be found
This children’s song isn’t one that seems to be sung very often, at least in my experience, but I remember teaching it to a primary group (children’s class at church) probably six years ago; I liked it and wanted them to get to know it. At first, I thought of this song as just being about people with special needs, but this lesson helped me see that it can be applied much more broadly. I feel that it has nice application with Peter’s revelation to take the gospel of Jesus to all the world, in that every individual is precious to God, no matter their appearance, socioeconomic status, race, ability or other factor.
I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go is the suggested song for the New Testament lesson “What Wilt Thou Have Me to Do?” studying the acts of the apostles as recorded in Acts 6–9 and can be found in the LDS Hymnbook.
Let the Holy Spirit Guide is the suggested song for the New Testament lesson “Ye Shall Be Witnesses unto Me” studying the acts of the apostles as recorded in Acts 1-5 and can be found in the LDS Hymnbook.
