After priesthood session last week, Matt came home and talked about how much he liked the session's closing song. A girl in our ward sent out a link to an mp3 of the song.
It's based on the Psalm of Nephi and set to the melody of the hymn "Be Still, My Soul." John Tanner wrote the lyrics.
Enjoy!

THANK YOU!!!!
Bruce came home and said the same thing.
He went with Michael (our neighbor) and Ron (his running buddy) and they just sat and wept during the song.
we sang it for FHE the following Monday - it didn't have quite the same effect.
But it was still nice.

I can't get that link to work, I think because it's cut off by the comment box.
Try here.
K. Newell Dayley was in the stake presidency of one of my old stakes. And I was trying to figure out why all of these names and the song sounded familiar, but then I figured it out... John Tanner is one of the vice presidents at BYU, and wasn't this song in the Ensign a while ago? I can't remember. Anyway, great song.
i'm a bit emabarrassed to admit that i didn't notice that it wasn't 'be still my soul.'
i actually prefer the hymn to the song, but the presentation was fantastic either way.
