(Picture from Rachel's phone, prior to conference)
Yesterday, I attended the last session of General Conference in the Conference Center. It was the first time I have been in the building, and it was a special experience. Rachel went with me, I provided the tickets (easier to get when you don't live in Utah!) The congregational hymn in that session, sung with 21,000 others who also know was very touching to me.
I know that my Redeemer lives. What comfort this sweet sentence gives.
He lives, he lives who once was dead. He lives, my ever-living head.
He lives to bless me with His love. He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed. He lives to bless in time of need.
He lives to grant me rich supply. He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint. He lives to hear my soul's complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears. He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart. He lives all blessings to impart.
He lives, my kind, wise heav'nly Friend. He lives and loves me to the end.
He lives, and while he lives, I'll sing. He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
He lives and grants me daily breath. He lives, and I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare. He lives to bring me safely there.
He lives! All glory to His name! He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the Joy this sentence gives: "I know that my Redeemer lives."
What joy filled my heart to be able to know and proclaim that knowledge, with so many others who also know.
Love, Mom
