Songwriting is the act of baring one's soul to another in the form of words and music.
This week, I am posting a piano arrangement of our Come Follow Me suggested song, “I Feel My Savior’s Love” from the LDS Children’s Songbook. I used verses 1,2 and 4 for the lyrics and depiction in this video – so as to consider a lesser known verse, which expands on the idea of feeling the Savior’s love to carry that love to all around us. This lesson studies chapters 30-36 in the book of Jeremiah and chapters 1;3 in Lamentations.

This week I am posting a vocal arrangement of our Come Follow Me suggested song, “On a Golden Springtime”. We are studying chapters 13-35 in the book of Isaiah. On a Golden Springtime is a song from the LDS Children’s Songbook and is such a beautiful, sweet song with surprisingly meaningful lyrics. It discusses three springtime events – growing of new seeds in the earth, Jesus Christ’s resurrection and Joseph Smith’s first vision. Isaiah prophesied of events of his time and also future events. We believe some of the prophecies in this section have been partially fulfilled with the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith’s vision of God and the Son, and the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.
