“Come to Know Him” is a new original song by Brad and Marilee Leishman. It was written by request for the Layton Legacy Stake Women’s conference in spring 2025.
I am hoping the song will speak for itself. But in writing it, I tried to inspire action on the topic that I was asked to write about…”How can we come to know Jesus Christ in the scriptures so that one day, when he comes again, we will actually know him and have a close relationship with him?” I also love the idea that God has opened the heavens and speaks today. He is so generous in manifesting himself to those who seek him. I believe that studying the scriptures, in particular, gives the Holy Ghost ample opportunity to teach us and testify to us of Christ. I have a personal testimony of these principles, and I love our Savior Jesus Christ and the peace I find because of him.

Revelation 3:20, 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

This is a good conference talk on the topic: “I Stand at the Door and Knock” by Elder Ronald T. Halverson

President Russell M. Nelson said:

There is no limit to the Savior’s capacity to help you. His incomprehensible suffering in Gethsemane and on Calvary was for you! His infinite Atonement is for you!

I urge you to devote time each week—for the rest of your life—to increase your understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. My heart aches for those who are mired in sin and don’t know how to get out. I weep for those who struggle spiritually or who carry heavy burdens alone because they do not understand what Jesus Christ did for them.

Jesus Christ took upon Himself your sins, your pains, your heartaches, and your infirmities. You do not have to bear them alone! He will forgive you as you repent. He will bless you with what you need. He will heal your wounded soul. As you yoke yourself to Him, your burdens will feel lighter. If you will make and keep covenants to follow Jesus Christ, you will find that the painful moments of your life are temporary. Your afflictions will be “swallowed up in the joy of Christ.” (The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again – Oct 2024

The sheet music pdf includes the full vocal and piano score, piano by itself, and the vocal parts by themselves. The piano accompaniment could be considered an Early Advanced level (more particularly for the last few pages).
