Today, like every Sunday, we went to church. We sat in sacrament meeting and sang hymns in between speakers. Several of the Youth presented talks today. They spoke of the importance of standing up for what is right, defending Christ and living up to what we know to be true.
The closing song was "The Lord Is My Light" Words: Isaac Watts, Music: John Hatton
The Lord is my light, then why should I fear?
By day and by night his presence is near.
He is my salvation from sorrow and sin;
This blessed assurance the Spirit doth bring.
The Lord is my light; tho clouds may arise,
Faith, stronger than sight, looks up through the skies
Where Jesus forever in glory doth reign.
Then how can I ever in darkness remain?
The Lord is my light; the Lord is my strength.
I know in his might I'll conquer at length.
My weakness in mercy he covers with pow'r,
and walking by faith, I am blest ev'ry hour.
The Lord is my light, my all and in all.
There is in his sight no darkness at all.
He is my Redemer, my Savior, and King.
With Saints and with angels his praises I'll sing.
I love the hymns! They feed my soul and increase my understanding. They soften my heart.
Mere words don't have the power of the hymns. Inspired hymns to go straight to my heart and fill it.
I love going to church. It is such a privledge to be around people who live righteous lives and seek the spirit. When I am struggling and in need of help, I can count on there being someone there who understands and can help me to understand also. There are also many opportunities to serve and help others. I am made better through association with them. I want to be with these Saints forever.
