This week, I am posting another instrumental, piano only, version of our Come Follow Me suggested song, I Need Thee Every Hour. We are studying the middle section of Psalms – from 49-86. This section of Psalms has many themes, but one prominent theme is our need for, and dependence, on the Lord.

This song came about because of an invitation to sing at my Relief Society Activity at Church. As I thought about what I could sing, I realized that maybe I could write a song that would be exactly about the topic of bringing Jesus into the Holidays. Through working and re-working it, the song eventually evolved to what it is and I am pleased with the result. Creating this song and music video has already affected my intention and feelings about this holiday and a few times, even my behavior. I hope it helps bring others closer to Christ.
