Disciple of Christ by Nik Day

Hello! “Disciple of Christ” is a song by Nik Day. It is the youth theme song this year and I chose it for this week’s Come Follow Me lesson entitled, “Preserved by His Marvelous Power”.  This arrangement is a collaboration with my triplet nephews on my husband’s side! Nathan, Josh and Zack did such a great job. It was a super fun project to work on with them. They had sung it in Church recently so I told them we should record it together. Brad’s sister, Carrie, had written the harmony part they sang together and I added my little spin on it. I am so happy with how it turned out and how well it fits into our Come Follow Me lesson.

Many of her poems became beloved hymns and were sung around pioneer campfires, in meeting rooms, and in temples. (source)
