Hymns

BTW, just quickly wanted to share the third verse of the children's song "Nephi's Courage." We sang it the other day in ward choir, and I realized how applicable it was, and then it was something I needed to work on a little.  I could use a little more courage when I'm discouraged. I need to remember that I've just gotta start working, and the Lord will provide a way when there seemingly isn't one. I can't just sit and wait. Like in Elder Bednar's talk where he mentioned that our actions after we say "amen" are consecrated as a continuation of that prayer. See Elder Bednar's talk on this page.

 

"The Lord gives us commandments, and asks us to obey.

Sometimes I am tempted to choose another way.

When I'm discouraged, and think I should not try,

I will be courageous, and I will reply:

'I will go; I will do the things the Lord commands.

I know the Lord provides a way, He wants me to obey.

I will go; I will do the things the Lord commands.

I know the Lord provides a way.

He wants me to obey.'"

 

One last comment: I love music, and I love God for letting us bring music with us to this world, and also for the way He continues to give us more and more of it. I'm so grateful for inspired music. I'm excited to share our hymns when I teach, like Sister Anderson does.
