Songwriting is the act of baring one's soul to another in the form of words and music.
Let the Holy Spirit Guide is the suggested song for the New Testament lesson “Ye Shall Be Witnesses unto Me” studying the acts of the apostles as recorded in Acts 1-5 and can be found in the LDS Hymnbook.
Did Jesus Really Live Again? is the suggested song for the New Testament lesson “He is Risen” studying the resurrection of Jesus as recorded in Matthew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24; John 20-21 and can be found in the Children’s Songbook.
Upon the Cross of Calvary is the suggested song for the New Testament lesson “It Is Finished” studying the crucifixion of Jesus as recorded in Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 19 and can be found in the LDS Hymnbook. It is one of the hymns that is sung by the congregation to prepare for the most sacred part of the Sunday meeting; the partaking of the sacrament in remembrance of Jesus Christ.
I Stand All Amazed is the “suggested song” for the New Testament lesson “Not My Will, but Thine, Be Done” studying Luke 22; John 18 and can be found in the LDS Hymnbook.
“Earlier, Jesus had given a commandment to “love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:39). Now He gave “a new commandment.” What do you think it means to love others as Jesus loves you? (see John 13:34).”
“When Jesus arrived at Jerusalem just days before He accomplished His Atonement, those who recognized Him as their King showed their devotion by anointing Him, putting clothes and palm branches along His path into Jerusalem, and shouting praises….How can you honor and receive the Savior as your Lord and King?”
“Dearest Children, God is Near You” is another repeated “suggested song” which I first arranged for the old testament study of 2 Kings 2-7. This was the first video I did in this Come Follow Me Music series! I am happy to be able to say I have done 46 music video arrangements up to this date! I know there are so many ways in which I can improve, but I am grateful to have been able to done what I’ve done so far with the Lord’s inspiration.
The stories (bible videos depictions) included within this arrangement are: The Prodigal Son, Jesus teaching to seek the Kingdom of God and The Parable of the Lost Sheep.
The suggested song for April 24-30’s Come Follow Me lesson is “The Lord Is My Shepherd”. If you have been following me since I began this project, you may remember that I had already done a video of this song for the old testament study of the book of Psalms. You can find it here: The Lord Is My Shepherd – Psalms Although the music is the same as last time, the video has been updated to include applications for these sections of scripture in John 7-10. I love that the Savior declares to the people, referring back to the writings of David in the book of psalms, that He is that good shepherd!
The suggested song for April 10-16’s Come Follow Me lesson is “I Believe in Christ”. In my opinion, this is one of the more powerful hymns found in the LDS hymn book; I love it. The title of the lesson is “Thou Art the Christ” and studies Matthew 15-17 and Mark 7-9.
