MM: A Prophet's Testimony of the Living Christ

I've sung or played this particular hymn innumerable times over the years as I've attended Church. It was written by Gordon B. Hinckley close to 30 years ago now. I find it amazing that it's been nearly six years since he passed away.  I miss him.  I love President Monson, but I miss President Hinckley.  Hearing his voice makes me cry.

 If you don't listen to it via the above link and you're not familiar with it, I hope that you at least take the time to read through the lyrics and ponder/feel the love President Hinckley had for the Savior, Jesus Christ.

My Redeemer Lives, no. 135

1. I know that my Redeemer lives,
Triumphant Savior, Son of God,
Victorious over pain and death,
My King, my Leader, and my Lord.

2. He lives, my one sure rock of faith,
The one bright hope of men on earth,
The beacon to a better way,
The light beyond the veil of death.

3. Oh, give me thy sweet Spirit still,
The peace that comes alone from thee,
The faith to walk the lonely road
That leads to thine eternity.
