This Is the Christ written by James E. Faust

Happy Sunday!
I chose this wonderfully gorgeous song that I have had in my head ever since we listened to it in Relief Society a couple weeks ago.

"They heard His voice, a voice so mild
It pierced them through and made their souls to quake.
They saw Him come, a man in white.
The Savior, who had suffered for their sake.
They felt the wounds in hands and side.
And each could testify:
THIS IS THE CHRIST

This is the Christ, the holy Son of God.
Our Savior, Lord, Redeemer of mankind.
This is teh Christ, the Healer of our souls.
Who ransomed us with love divine.

I read His words, the words He prayed
While beaing sorrow in Gethsemane.
I feel His love, the price He paid.
How many drops of blood were spilled for me?
With Saints of old in joyful cry
I too can testify:
THIS IS THE CHRIST."

Just so you can feel the same Spirit that I do, here is a link (or copy and paste it) to listen to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir perform it:

The words are beautiful!

I know my Savior lives.

I know he died for ME.

"How many drops of blood were spilled for me?" The whole concept of the Atonement is beyond my comprehension.

He made it possible for me to live with my family FOREVER.

That's like . . . FOREVER.

And spending a week in Hawaii with JUST them and no other outside influences that I knew, I realized something:

Each member of my family is my BEST FRIEND.

And so I absolutely love the assurance that I have that I KNOW I will be with them forever and ever.

And so, with much love,
Have a beautiful Sabbath day!
