The Power of Music

I just happened upon this Youtube video that made my day.  These songs brought me back to my teenage years, and I'm sure my friends that I grew up with will enjoy listening to these songs too. 

This is what the Youtube channel says about this video:

Take a joyful trip back to the 1960s, when pop songs were bright, catchy, and impossible not to smile at. This countdown revisits fifteen feel-good classics that still light up the room within seconds and bring pure nostalgia with every note.

AI says about the 60’s:

The 1960s was an iconic decade of massive cultural, social, and political transformation. Spanning from January 1, 1960, to December 31, 1969, the era fundamentally reshaped fashion, civil rights, music, and space exploration.

Add to that:  I grew up  in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the Hippie movement evolved.  It made for an interesting time and place to grow up.  I was blessed to grow up in a home that kept me grounded in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.    

Enjoy.

Here I am 13 days later after posting this blogpost the first time.  Today, I ran into this video talking about the songs from the 70's.  Well, guess what!  I'm also a child of the 70's.  Make that a teenage child of the 70's.  I started high school in 1970 and graduated in 1974.  Enjoy going back to the song of the 70's.

This is what the Youtube channel says about this video:  

These 15 songs from the 1970s feel like pure golden hour sunshine. No heartbreak. No heaviness. Just warm, uplifting nostalgia that still glows decades later. From soft rock classics to joyful pop anthems, this countdown celebrates the happiest side of seventies music.

Everything Janice Kapp Perry

I listened to Janice Kapp Perry this week as she was interviewed for The Church New Podcast.   As I listened, I was reminded how much I love Sister Perry and how much she has touched my life.  The Church News webpage says this about the podcast.  

Janice Kapp Perry joins this episode of the Church News podcast to discuss the power of music, sharing her testimony of the Savior and the profound lessons she has learned during her remarkable and varied life.   

Sarah Jane Weaver introduces Janice Kapp Perry for the  interview with this monologue:

Janice Kapp Perry has composed 3,000 songs and hymns beloved by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her well-known repertoire includes Primary hymns, “A Child’s Prayer,” “I Love To See the Temple” and “I’m Trying To Be Like Jesus.”  She started her music career later in life after two lucky breaks — a broken TV and an injury — took her from the sports court to roadshow music writing.

Her work has been featured in the Church hymnbook and Primary songbook and translated and sung around the world. From 1993 to 1999 she performed with The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, often singing her own music. In 2020, Brigham Young University conferred upon her an honorary degree, a Doctor of Christian Service in Music. Her acceptance speech, “Filling the World With Music of Faith,” was posted online due to the pandemic.

I first learned about Sis. Perry's life experiences by listening to an interview that was aired April 10, 2014 by the LDS radio program called Everything Creative.   The website says this about the interview: 

Janice Kapp Perry is our special guest for this episode of  Everything Creative.  She shares stories about how her music service began with helping those around her.  The music spread to other wards and stakes and eventually was published in songbooks such as the Children's Songbook and even our LDS hymnal.

Through these two interviews and the videos below, I learned that Sister Perry is a very humble, inspired, and talented songwriter.  

The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square Youtube webpage featured the history of three songs Sis. Parry wrote:  

History of A Child's Prayer

You can also view it by clicking here 

A Child's Prayer

1. Heavenly Father, are you really there?

And do you hear and answer ev’ry child’s prayer?

Some say that heaven is far away,

But I feel it close around me as I pray.

Heavenly Father, I remember now

Something that Jesus told disciples long ago:

“Suffer the children to come to me.”

Father, in prayer I’m coming now to thee.

2. Pray, he is there;

Speak, he is list’ning.

You are his child;

His love now surrounds you.

He hears your prayer;

He loves the children.

Of such is the kingdom, the kingdom of heav’n.

History of Love is Spoken Here

You can also view the video by clicking here 

Love is Spoken Here 

1. I see my mother kneeling with our family each day.

I hear the words she whispers as she bows her head to pray.

Her plea to the Father quiets all my fears,

And I am thankful love is spoken here.

2. Mine is a home where ev’ry hour is blessed by the strength of priesthood pow’r,

With father and mother leading the way,

Teaching me how to trust and obey;

And the things they teach are crystal clear,

For love is spoken here.

3. (ending) I can often feel the Savior near

When love is spoken here.

The History of I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus

You can also view the video by clicking here 

I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus

1. I’m trying to be like Jesus;

I’m following in his ways.

I’m trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say.

At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,

But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,

[Chorus]

“Love one another as Jesus loves you.

Try to show kindness in all that you do.

Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,

For these are the things Jesus taught.”

2. I’m trying to love my neighbor;

I’m learning to serve my friends.

I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again.

I try to remember the lessons he taught.

Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying:

🎶 For the Beauty of the Earth 🎶

The plants on my front porch reminded me of the hymn, "For the Beauty of the Earth"  

For the Beauty of of the Earth

Text: Folliott S. Pierpoint, 1835–1917

Music: Conrad Kocher, 1786–1872

1. For the beauty of the earth,

For the beauty of the skies,

For the love which from our birth

Over and around us lies,

[Chorus]

Lord of all, to thee we raise

This our hymn of grateful praise.

2. For the beauty of each hour

Of the day and of the night,

Hill and vale, and tree and flow’r,

Sun and moon, and stars of light,

3. For the joy of human love,

Brother, sister, parent, child,

Friends on earth, and friends above,

For all gentle thoughts and mild,

Happy 4th of July 2022

This program that was shown today on Music and the Spoken Word got me in the mood for the 4th of July.  Enjoy!

My favorite song in this program is: "America, The Dream Goes On" starting at 10:00 minutes.  I felt that the pictures shown during this song are a good representation of America. 

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, so of course this picture caught my attention.

I also enjoyed seeing the statue of the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima.

Starting at 13:35, Lloyd Newell gave this timely message titled:  "Self-control, Liberty, and Law" taken from the patriotic hymn, "America the Beautiful":

Self-control, Liberty and Law

There is a line from a well-known patriotic hymn: “Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law."  These principles are basic to life, basic to the eternal plans and purposes of the Lord. But sometimes we seem more to have remembered freedom than self-control, liberty more than the law.

As we come together, live together … in a world where physically we come ever closer together, always we have to have self-control, always we have to live our lives with law as well as with liberty. Always we have to consider the rights, the privileges, the comfort, the convenience of others, with an awareness that we have no right to do anything we want, to take anything we want, or irresponsibly to say anything we want, or to befoul the moral atmosphere, or the water others use, the air where others are, the peace that others have, or their rightful privacy, or to live uninhibited lives. We have to be considerate of others always. Self-control, with law, is the only safeguard of liberty; and not the existence of law only, but respect for law, obeying the law—the laws of God, the laws of the land.

Acclaimed filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille said this of laws and liberty: "We are too inclined," he said "to think of law as something merely restrictive—something hemming us in. We sometimes think of law as the opposite of liberty. But that is a false conception. … God does not contradict Himself. He did not create [us] and then, as an afterthought, impose upon [us] a set of arbitrary, irritating, restrictive rules. He made [us] free—and then gave [us] the commandments to keep [us] free. …"

To this great utterance we would add: The greatest threat to liberty is lawlessness. And the greatest assurance of liberty is respect for law. "Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law."

Oquirrh Mountain Temple   

Come to God's own temple, come; Raise the song of harvest home.  

All things denote there is a God; even the earth and all things that are upon the face of it....do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.  Alma 30:44

Come Ye Thankful People Come

Henry Alford

1 Come, ye thankful people, come, 

raise the song of harvest home; 

all is safely gathered in, 

ere the winter storms begin. 

God our Maker doth provide 

for our wants to be supplied; 

come to God's own temple, come, 

raise the song of harvest home. 

2 All the world is God's own field, 

fruit unto His praise to yield; 

wheat and tares together sown 

unto joy or sorrow grown; 

first the blade and then the ear, 

then the full corn shall appear; 

Lord of harvest, grant that we 

wholesome grain and pure may be. 

3 For the Lord our God shall come,

and shall take His harvest home; 

from His field shall in that day 

all offenses purge away, 

give His angels charge at last 

in the fire the tares to cast; 

but the fruitful ears to store 

in His garner evermore. 

4 Even so, Lord, quickly come

to thy final harvest home; 

gather thou thy people in, 

free from sorrow, free from sin, 

there, forever purified, 

in thy presence to abide; 

come, with all thine angels, come, 

raise the glorious harvest home.

It Is Well with My Soul

On Oct 14, 2018, I wrote this on our mission blog:

A highlight of watching General Conference last week was listening to the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square sing the hymn, "It Is Well with My Soul".  We had never heard the hymn before.   As we sat listening to it in the Belize City chapel, it was obvious that it is a beloved hymn of the Belizean saints as several in the congregation sang like angels along with the choir.  We have listened to the hymn several times this past week and, truly, "it is well, it is well, with my soul."   

Enjoy watching the ASL version of this song that was preformed in the April 2022 General Conference.

It Is Well with My Soul

Text:  Horatio Spafford/Music:  Philip Bliss   

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll

Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say

It is well, it is well, with my soul

It is well

With my soul

It is well, it is well with my soul

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

Let this blest assurance control,

That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,

And hath shed His own blood for my soul

It is well (it is well)

With my soul (with my soul)

It is well, it is well with my soul

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought

My sin, not in part but the whole,

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, o my soul

It is well (it is well)

With my soul (with my soul)

It is well, it is well with my soul

And Lord, haste the day when thy faith shall be sight,

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;

The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,

Even so, it is well with my soul

It is well (it is well)

With my soul (with my soul)

It is well, it is well with my soul

This afternoon a friend posted the song on her facebook page along with the background on why the song was written.  It brought back a tender memory as I saw her Facebook post.  As I was researching more about this song today, I found this video explaining the background as it is explained by Lloyd  Newell on the program, Music and the Spoken Word.  

The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square's YouTube page explains the background to the song:

Life can be so unpredictable—joys and sorrows, beautiful blessings and distressing difficulties, can come unexpectedly. Our life’s dreams and plans can change in an instant. We all know this to be true. So how can we find peace amid such turbulence? 

Horatio Spafford knew something about life’s unexpected challenges. He was a successful attorney and real estate investor who lost a fortune in the great Chicago fire of 1871. Around the same time, his beloved four-year-old son died of scarlet fever. 

Thinking a vacation would do his family some good, he sent his wife and four daughters on a ship to England, planning to join them after he finished some pressing business at home. However, while crossing the Atlantic Ocean, the ship was involved in a terrible collision and sunk. More than 200 people lost their lives, including all four of Horatio Spafford’s precious daughters. His wife, Anna, survived the tragedy. Upon arriving in England, she sent a telegram to her husband that began: “Saved alone. What shall I do?” 

Horatio immediately set sail for England. At one point during his voyage, the captain of the ship, aware of the tragedy that had struck the Spafford family, summoned Horatio to tell him that they were now passing over the spot where the shipwreck had occurred. 

As Horatio thought about his daughters, words of comfort and hope filled his heart and mind. He wrote them down, and they have since become a well-beloved hymn: 

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll—

Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to know

It is well, it is well with my soul.

Perhaps we cannot always say that everything is well in all aspects of our lives. There will always be storms to face, and sometimes there will be tragedies. But with faith in a loving God and with trust in His divine help, we can confidently say, “It is well, it is well with my soul.”

Entertainment during the COVID-19 Quarantine Season

Here's some great entertainment to watch during the COVID-19 quarantine season. This is music that I call truly Americana because it is so unique to the backcountry of the U.S.A. This particular number, The Orange Blossom Special, actually mimics the sounds, rhythm, and pace of an old-time locomotive train... can you hear it?

You can also get to the video by clicking here.  

This is what the Kempter's youtube page says about the video:

Chris (with all his twins...or are they?) battles it out for a place in the band. Song of choice is The Orange Blossom Special. Hope you enjoy!

Here's a seasoned band playing the same song.  I'd say they are ready to shake the barn down with the help of the clog dancer at the end.

The Eric Tackett Productions youtube channel said this about the video:

I filmed this awesome video live, on the front row, during the Museum of Appalachia Fall Homecoming. Close to the end of the performance, we didn't know what was coming when a talented clog dancer started shaking the whole barn. He almost danced the barn down...literally! (buck dancing)

Love Is Spoken Here

I was listening to the Tabernacle Choir Channel the other day when the song, Love Is Spoken Here was played.  A feeling of peace came over me as I listened.  My mind went back to my childhood.  I am grateful I was raised in a home where love was spoken.

With all this craziness going on in the world today with the COVID-19 pandemic and civil unrest, I was happy to be reminded that we can have peace during this time as we live the Gospel of Jesus Christ and put Him first in our lives. 

You can listen to the song by clicking onto the video 

I thought of my mother as I heard these words: 

"Her plea to the Father quiets all my fears, 

And I am thankful love is spoken here."

Love is Spoken Here 

by Janice Kapp Perry

I see my mother kneeling with our family each day.

I hear the words she whispers as she bows her head to pray.

Her plea to the Father quiets all my fears,

And I am thankful love is spoken here.

Mine is a home where ev'ry hour is blessed by

The strength of priesthood pow'r,

With father and mother leading the way,

Teaching me how to trust and obey;

And the things they teach are crystal clear,

For love is spoken here.

I can often feel the Savior near

When love is spoken here.

I enjoyed learning the background of how Janice Kapp Perry came to write the song.

Count Your Many Blessings.....

This past weekend we received these pictures of our latest 4 grandchildren (along with an older grand daughter) who were born into our family within the past 6 months.  

As we thought of these sweet grandchildren, the hymn Count Your Blessings came to our mind.  You see, each of these 4 grandchildren spent some time in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) after birth. Yet, we count our blessings that they are here, and are doing well. The greatest blessing is knowing that our Heavenly Father is real, is near, and knows us and our family members personally. We count that as our greatest blessing.

Count Your Blessing

When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,

Count your many blessings; name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.

Chorus:

Count your blessings;

Name them one by one.

Count your blessings;

See what God hath done.

Count your blessings;

Name them one by one.

Count your many blessings;

See what God hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

Count your many blessings; ev’ry doubt will fly,

And you will be singing as the days go by.

Chorus

When you look at others with their lands and gold,

Think that Christ has promised you his wealth untold.

Count your many blessings; money cannot buy

Your reward in heaven nor your home on high.

Chorus

So amid the conflict, whether great or small,

Do not be discouraged; God is over all.

Count your many blessings; angels will attend,

Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Chorus

Text: Johnson Oatman Jr., 1856–1922

Music: Edwin O. Excell, 1851–1921

Music Brought to You Because of COVID-19

This COVID-19 pandemic has brought to my attention a new way to make and share music while in being quarantined.  And it is through virtual choirs.  ❤️

I was happy when this beautiful song came across my YouTube feed. The message of this song's title, "How Can I Keep from Singing" is so fitting after listening to the video.

July 3, 2020 - And this music just keeps on coming....  I heard this one today - just in time for the 4th of July tomorrow.  

Home Free put together this video (featuring Lee Greenwood and The United States Air Force Band)

....and this is how Home Free made the video.

October 11, 2020  This one recently came out.  Just in time to go back to church after not being able to attend services for about 6 months.  

This year, (2021) Scott was in charge of our church's ward Christmas party/dinner.  

This video hit home with us.

My nephew is in the video as an alumni of the BYU Men's choir.  

This  hymn was produced by our good friend from California, Nils Lindstrom.

This is what Nil's YouTube site said about this video:

Songs of Testimony

Ever since I was a young child,  I have had a testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  I was introduce to the Gospel as I attended Sunday School and Primary and sang the children's hymns. 

This is a picture of me with my older brother, Craig 

Last week when I was in Idaho, I was invited to share my testimony to my grandchildren, ages 9-2.  What better way to bear my testimony than through the words of Primary hymns.

I Am a Child of God

I like how this video portrays that the title of this song applies to everyone -- both young and old.

A Child's Prayer

This song is sung using sign language.  Notice the first verse is a question.  The second verse is the answer.  

We Thank Thee O God for a Prophet

As an adult,  this hymn gives me a lot of peace, particularly during this COVID-19 pandemic.  I look to our prophet, President Russell M. Nelson as he has calmly counseled us with optimism. He invited us to fast and pray for healing and an end to the pandemic.   

As I Walk with Jesus

The video shows examples of how we can "walk with Jesus". The song has a great message found in the chorus: 

As I walk with Jesus to my home above,

He will bless me with His Spirit and fill me with His love,

Change my heart forever and help me clearly see.

I will walk with Jesus, and He will walk with me. 

The Miracle

This song bears a strong testimony of the mission of Jesus Christ 

“The Miracle”

by Shawna Belt Edwards

Jesus walked upon the water.

He stilled the storm and calmed the angry sea.

With His hands He healed the leper.

He made the lame to walk, the blind to see.

He fed a thousand people with a loaf or two of bread.

And when the ruler’s daughter died,

He raised her from the dead.

Jesus is a God of miracles;

Nothing is at all impossible to Him.

But I know this:

Of all His miracles, the most incredible must be

The miracle that rescues me!

Jesus bled and died to save me—

A price that I could never pay alone.

When He rose again, He gave me

The greatest gift the world has ever known!

Yes, I can be forgiven every time that I repent,

And someday He will lift me up to live with Him again.

Jesus is a God of miracles;

Nothing is at all impossible to Him.

But I know this:

Of all His miracles the most incredible must be

The miracle that rescues me,

The miracle that rescues you and me!
