I Feel My Savior’s Love, Piano Solo (New Testament)

I Feel My Savior’s Love from the Children’s Songbook, is the suggested song for the New Testament lesson “Overcome Evil with Good”  studying Romans 7-16. This song was also published for the Old Testament lesson studying Jeremiah and Lamentations.

In the Come Follow Me Manual it says:

“As he opened his epistle to the Romans, Paul greeted Church members by calling them “beloved of God” who were “called to be saints.” He remarked that their “faith [was] spoken of throughout the whole world” (Romans 1:7–8). Even though Paul spent much of his epistle correcting false ideas and flawed behaviors, it seems he also wanted to assure these new Christian converts that they truly were Saints who were beloved of God. His tender counsel blesses all of us who struggle to feel God’s love and for whom becoming a Saint may feel out of reach. With humble empathy, Paul acknowledged that he had felt like a “wretched man” at times (Romans 7:24), but the gospel of Jesus Christ had given him power to overcome sin (see Joseph Smith Translation, Romans 7:22–27 [in the Bible appendix]). With that power, the Savior’s redeeming power, we can “overcome evil”—both evil in the world and evil in ourselves—“with good” (Romans 12:21).”

In the song “I Feel My Savior’s Love” the third verse is about sharing that love with others. Paul gives some beautiful counsel about how we can become a true Saint and follower of Jesus Christ:

• Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation (a definition of dissimulation is concealment). Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

  10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

  11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

  12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

  13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

  14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

  15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

  16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

  17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

  18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

The scripture reference for I Feel My Savior’s Love is: John 15:10–12  10 If ye ^akeep my commandments, ye shall abide in my ^blove; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your ^ajoy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye ^alove one another, as I have ^bloved you.
