One of my favorite moments from this session of conference- more specifically, Saturday morning's session- was when MOTAB sang "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing." So I just want to share some of the lyrics from that song that touched me in a new way.
"Streams of mercy, never ceasing..."
"I'm fixed upon it..."
"And I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home..."
"Jesus sought me when a stranger..."
"He, to rescue me from danger interposed His precious blood..."
"Prone to wander..."
"Here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above..."
I want to quickly share my testimony. I know, with everything I have, that Jesus Christ lived and died for us. Died for me. I testify that I have felt of His love for me. I have seen Him change me. I have seen Him lift me from the darkest of places into the most beautiful and joyous. I know the enabling power of the atonement is real. I have felt it. I have felt it every single time I have asked to receive. And I have felt it when I haven't. I have felt Jesus' love for me. I have felt His love for others. While I am prone to wander, I know that my Brother, Jesus the Christ and my Savior, He will follow me. And He will help me make it safely home. He will help you.
How grateful I am for this beautiful song to remind me of this and help me ponder these feelings. There is such a power in music- I testify of this! And I say these things, in Jesus' name, amen.
I love this song, and was so grateful for the spirit I felt when it was sung in conference. Thanks for sharing your testimony with us! Love these pictures of Christ as well.
