Come Thou Fount

So I was recently on a friend's blog, and she had this link to a YouTube video-slideshow-thingy set to the song "Amazing Grace" as sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. While I was listening to it, getting all tingly and teary-eyed, and forcing myself not to cry, I glanced over at the "suggested video" thingy on the sidebar. There I saw a link to a video of the song "Come Thou Fount". I, of course, had to click on it and watch it. I LOVE this song. It has a very special place in my heart. As many of you who took choir with me in High School will remember, this is the version that we sang--though we did so without the full orchestra.

I remember, when we performed it, the sound of all those voices surrounding me and filling the auditorium with such beautiful music...The feelings in my heart were indescribable. I will forever remember that testimony-building experience. One positive aspect of growing and going to school in Utah (and having a member of the church as my choir director), was that I got to have these types of experiences.

So...without further adieu, the song that, I believe whole-heartedly, changed my testimony, and my life, forever...


Mrs. (Sister) Wallace...Wherever you are today, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I always love thinking back to our chior days too. People are suprised when I tell them we were able to sing songs like that in High School. We really were lucky.

As for Mrs. Wallace, she is living in Provo and teaching at UVU.
