I have wanted to do an arrangement of this song for a long time but I was kind of waiting for inspiration to strike. Well, strike it did and just in time for my son’s baptism this year! I wrote the violin/piano version first and really wanted a voice option too. So, I modified the music and created that also.
You’ll notice I did my signature signature 🙂 Yep, I changed it from 3/4 to 6/8. I may love 6/8 a little too much!
I’m hoping to get recording with a real violin when my sister-in-law comes into town next. For now, this will do. I hope you love this version as much as I do (I sit down just to play this all the time)!

This arrangement is awesome! I love it! I am hoping to be able get it together in time for my son’s baptism. Thanks!
Glad you like it!
Can we print and use your music for church use?
Absolutely!
Just came across this arrangement due to a post on the LDS Choristers FB page. Absolutely gorgeous. The music is simple, yet so powerful. Looking to hopefully use it next year for the Primary Presentation if it is included with the songs for next year’s theme. Thank-you for making this available to use!
No problem! I’m so glad you felt the power in it.
I love it. The feel of the song reminds me of when the spirit bears witness to me and my heart quickens. I love that it portrays the excitement and testimony of a person about to make their first covenant with our Heavenly Father.
We just sang your amazing arrangement in our Primary Program yesterday, and I can tell you there was barely a dry eye in the chapel! I had so many comments about how beautiful it was. Thank you so much for sharing your talents!
That is wonderful! I love the power music can bring to a meeting. Glad it went well. Thanks for letting me know!
So beautiful! I’m from Guatemala! And I’d would like to translate it to Spanish!
Go for it! That would be awesome to have a Spanish version.
My son and I played this for my youngest’s baptism this weekend and it was beautiful! Thank you!!
You’re welcome 🙂 I’m glad it went well!
Just wanted to say thank you for doing something so original. My Primary kids sang this for the program last year, and were amazing! And when it showed up again on the schedule for this year — they were amazing again. Today my daughter is singing it at the baptism of some family friends. So thank you for sharing your talents.
Oh I’m glad you’ve found it so useful! A 6/8 time signature just makes music so pretty.
