Peaceful Instrumental LDS Hymns & Songs – 1 Hour

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!

I Know My Father Lives – Lyric Video

I was immediately drawn to ‘Testimony.’  The words ‘I know my Father lives’ came to my mind, and the music came almost simultaneously.  The remainder of the piece came very quickly, but I thought it was too simple, so I began working on it.  It became more and more complicated and less and less spontaneous.  After two weeks of struggling with it, I began to erase all the excess notes, and soon it emerged in its original form.

I Feel My Savior’s Love – Vocal Solo

Hello! I Feel My Savior’s Love  is a suggested hymn for the Book of Mormon lesson “Come and Partake of the Fruit” studying the 1 Nephi 6–10. This lesson includes a prophetic vision or dream that Lehi shares with his family. This dream has layers of meaning, I am sure, but one core aspect of it is the light and love that God offers those who will come unto him.
