Songwriting is the act of baring one's soul to another in the form of words and music.
A collection of hymns and primary songs for Easter. Thanks to RD Parsons who played guitar on “It is Well with My Soul”, Kevin Forbush’s guitar arrangement of “I Love to See the Temple” and Paige Vogt playing violin on “Come, Ye Children of the Lord”.
This is an upbeat arrangement of the LDS Hymn “Praise to the Man” with a new refrain and second verse centered around Jehovah/Jesus Christ. This arrangement was created for a group of Primary children to sing for their Primary Program during sacrament meeting this coming fall. We wanted to share it with whoever else might enjoy it!
Over five years ago I wrote a hymn to submit to the new Church hymnbook (it didn’t get selected). A few months ago, I came back to this hymn to look over it and see if I should record it, but I found it needed a lot of improvement. With some time, perspective and more experience with all I have been working on since then, I could see that it needed more work. The message of the song is largely the same, but much clearer and more clarified.
This is an hour long compilation video of peaceful hymns & primary songs in an instrumental setting. There are a few with guitar, all have piano and some feature strings. I have taken 18 songs and adapted them. Whenever I watch videos with a fire going, I actually feel physically warmer…it’s weird! (or maybe I’m just weird haha) I especially like to turn these kinds of videos onto my TV at our home and there aren’t many like this with specifically LDS hymns and songs so I thought I would make one!
These videos took me way too long to make as I was figuring things out but I am happy with the end results. I came across a thread that was titled “Why Don’t Mormons like this song?” referring to
I put together a 22 minute Christmas Devotional Compilation with Quotes from Prophets and Apostles. There is something special about combining these uplifting quotes with sacred Christmas music!
This hymn has beautiful, heartfelt lyrics and really speaks to the journey the Jaredites had and really every one of our journeys through life.
This video was inspired by the Come Follow Me Scripture Study Manual for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and more specifically, the lesson “Rend That Veil of Unbelief” (Nov.11-17, 2024). This lesson studies Ether 1-5 in the Book of Mormon.
It was in that talk (In his April 1972 general conference address) that my father first read in public the words he had written of the hymn: “I Believe in Christ.” His talk was entitled The Testimony of Jesus. (At the time he was not a member of the quorum of the 12 apostles, he was serving in the first council of the 70). But shortly after that general conference talk, (later that year) he was called to the apostleship.
Hello! More Holiness Give Me is a hymn by Philip Paul Bliss, 1838–1876. The Come Follow Me lesson (Oct 21-27) entitled “There Could Not Be a Happier People” lists “More Holiness Give Me” as a suggested song to correlate well
