I Know That My Redeemer Lives – New Testament

/

I Know That My Redeemer Lives is the hymn I chose to do this week. The suggested song for the New Testament lesson “A Minister and a Witness”  was actually “My Redeemer Lives” which has a similar title, but different lyrics and music. I decided to use a previously recorded version (done for the book of Job in the Old Testament) since I felt it still fit very well with the message of the lesson in Acts chapters 22-28.

How Firm a Foundation

/

This week, I am posting a vocal arrangement of our Come Follow Me suggested song, “How Firm a Foundation”. We are studying chapters 40-49 in the book of Isaiah. How Firm a Foundation, is a song from the LDS Hymn Book and has a strong and glorious message. There are 7 verses and I chose to present verses 1, 2, 3 and 7.   Some of the verses referenced at the bottom of this hymn come from our section this week.

On a Golden Springtime

/

This week I am posting a vocal arrangement of our Come Follow Me suggested song, “On a Golden Springtime”. We are studying chapters 13-35 in the book of Isaiah. On a Golden Springtime is a song from the LDS Children’s Songbook and is such a beautiful, sweet song with surprisingly meaningful lyrics. It discusses three springtime events – growing of new seeds in the earth, Jesus Christ’s resurrection and Joseph Smith’s first vision.  Isaiah prophesied of events of his time and also future events. We believe some of the prophecies in this section have been partially fulfilled with the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith’s vision of God and the Son, and the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.

A Million Dreams

To some, it may sound naive to believe in something that we can’t see or explain, to trust in a redeemer, in a Savior; but I like to think of it as being courageous.

Peace in Christ

/

In the days and weeks leading up to Eli’s death, I was, at times, very emotionally distraught. One day, I thought of the song “Peace in Christ” which was the Youth Theme for The Church of Jesus Christ in 2018. I found the sheet music online and printed it. I sat down to play and sing it that day and immediately the tears began to fall.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

I was searching through some Christmas Music to decide which song I wanted to cover for December when I came across the original version of this song. It’s from the movie “Meet me in St. Louis” sung by Judy Garland. I really enjoy the first lyrics. They have a bit more emotional tension than I feel the later versions have. For instance:

I hope that we can be a little more grateful, kind and in awe of the bounteous blessings we’ve all been given this month. I know I could really benefit from a more consistent and frequent shift in my perspective. I will try to do my best to express my thanks and appreciation to God and those around me this November.
