@@annmarietate3383 seriously, in complete agreement with you here! That in and of itself is beyond wonderful and amazed is how I am every day in His Presence of Being A Child of God, no matter the gender...Each soul...Always and in All Ways... No matter what...Unconditional is His Love...Eternal...🙏🌟☀️♥️🌍😇
Today at the sacrament class we sang this hymn and I didn't know when I started shedding tears uncontrollable. 😢 It is wonderful that he should care for me enough to die for me.. Thank you Heavenly Father
I am a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints , and I’m proud and I will live by that , I love my father in heaven. God has a plan for all of us ❤️🥺
I'm agnostic, but I was raised in the Church, and this is my favorite hymn. Sometimes, the idea that there might be a God out there who loves me in spite of the fact that I'm an incredibly flawed human being and wants the best for me is all that gives me hope.
I was raised in the church as well, I've gone through long bouts of inactivity and in those times my thoughts and feelings were different than when I was active. It was never the church or church members that helped me gain traction again and feel again but needing God in my life and pushing to reignite my relationship with him and to feel his love. It took work but he always was there waiting with open arms to love me if I would just love him by following his commandments once more. Then the Joy, hope, and love would poor into me and I would remember how amazing his love feels when you reach out to him. There is no imperial evidence to prove his love but it's the truest thing in this world.
I hear you brother. I was also raised LDS but now I’m agnostic. It’s quite the thing when you lose your religion, all the big questions are no longer answered.
I grew up LDS, with many active ancestors. Going to church became “another Sunday morning” and singing hymns felt mindless at times. For many of my younger years, I would wonder why this was such a popular hymn. A couple of my sisters favorite hymn, even. I always read the lyrics rather than singing, and tried to imagine what they really meant to me, in literal and hypothetical instances. Some days I would read words. Other days I would read a sentence that would change the entire outlook of my day and self, little glimpses of love and joy graciously offered to me by Himself. This song has grown to be one of my favorites too. We all know hymns of all sorts can feel campy if you’re being objective, looking under an audiophile lens, but reading these words always remind me of the love and grace abundantly offered to me/us, even when we’re not singing praise to the Lord (literally and hypothetically)
I love this song so touching shows what Jesus did for us I don't go to the lds church I couldn't live the gospel I am still a Christian I went back to church of England I just follow jesus
I like me this song. It makes me feel happy and smiling. I go to LDS church and I fell in love with it. I'm still learning about the scriptures. Everybody is so so nice and fun. I'm happy I'm going to this church. I met new friends.
It is strange that so many members of the LDS church (Mormons) love this hymn. The writer of "Oh, it is Wonderful!" is Charles H. Gabriel who was musical director of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church in San Francisco. He also wrote, "Will the Circle be Unbroken?", 'His Eye is on the Sparrow", 'Brighten the Corner Where You Are', and "Send the Light". These are just a few of the 7,000-8,000 hymns he wrote. He was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1982, 50 tears after he died.
"That he would rescue a soul so rebelious and proud as mine" this touches me on such a profound level, I love my savior and hope I can always show him.
I performed this hymm in my sacrament meeting today and also discovered that the stake choir is performing this song for stake conference, I immediately fell in love with this song because the congregation sung it as well during the weekend of the Washington DC trip, I've heard this song quite a bit recently(did you think to pray? is still my favorite hmm though) though this song does tie as my favorite hymm
Such love and devotion...how can I forget. I felt those words...the tears I now have streaming down my face as I reflect on the choices I’ve made. If only soon I can show now what I forgot or never knew I could now share with the world 🌍
I'm home alone and in the middle of a hail storm. This song came to mind as I walked to the basement with my dog because of a tornado warning. I feel peace as I'm sitting here listening to this song.
sadie, reading this just improve my testimony of the truethfulness of the reality of god's love and how he calms us down when we need. Thank you for your coment on this. You also helped me.
I am LDS but have been inactive for years. This song was sung by sister missionaries at my little sisters funeral in 2002 after she was killed by a drunk driver.
I'm at LDS Mormon from Belen New Mexico moved up to Albuquerque New Mexico my parents got so sick that they passed away I'm 34 years old single wish I could get married in the church of LDS this is a song I like
I know your comment is old, but felt the need to say, it is your choice to return or not, but know this, Heavenly Father loves you and you are of worth no matter your choice..
I'm sorry for your loss monark. You glorifying God singing this song, at your Dad's funeral, it's another way for you to show that you believe that you two will meet again. I wish I could have sung a song at my late father's funeral, I'm sure he'd love it.
I am ex-LDS but I like this song and as far as I can tell no church uses this hymn more than the LDS. It doesn't exactly follow LDS beliefs but they sing it with beautiful reverence.
@@Skinhorse61 The LDS church only worships Elohim, not Jesus. They declare Jesus and the Father to be two separate gods, but that they worship only the father. They also have a work-based belief where specific works must be done to be with the Father, for example sealing in the temple. The LDS faith does not allow for grace to cover a "rebellious and proud" soul. Section 64 of D&C refutes this hymn. "Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you," Moroni 10:32 According to the hymn, the ungodly practices of rebellion and pride are covered by the grace of Christ.
@@Artycloughiii Arty...I firmly believe you have several misconceptions. If you truly are a seeker of truth, then you will meet with folks near you again. Bishop, missionaries, etc. Yes, we worship Jesus Christ. Of course we do! How could we not? He is our Savior! His grace is indeed extended, even to the proud and rebellious. He loves all. At the final judgment, Christ will be our Perfect Judge, since his Atonement and mortal existence makes it possible to understand us exactly where we are, in combination with all of our mortal limitations, weaknesses, and the desires of our hearts. All this WORKS vs GRACE focus is way out of whack. Too much...way too much...is made of it to keep us apart and fighting amongst ourselves. There is a balance in all things. Use logic, feeling, prayer, and the spirit to guide you to all truth. Try not to get caught up in the words of those who like to hear themselves preach.
@@Skinhorse61 I was LDS. I was a missionary. I went through the endowment ceremony. Can Christ blood's send you to live with God in the Celestial Kingdom if you haven't gone through the endowment? been sealed? paid your tithing? For Christians, who accept the words of the Bible, we know that we are saved and we know that the grace of Christ is sufficient. "8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2 I know that the LDS church continues to evolve and change their doctrines, but the fact is that the LDS church continues to teach that people will not live with the father without LDS church membership. Mormonism is about the church. You aren't supposed to use logic, the spirit and feelings to determine the truth. That's what Joseph Smith teaches. You are supposed to read the word (Bible) and use it as a standard to determine false gospels. You aren't going to find the truth about the Gospel listening to LDS revisions.
I left because of many lies when in Sunday school lesson not good to lie no white lies and saw one of the leaders it's not good to question the church even when they're wrong
I am a member and I've always loved this song. I wish they had it on the app called StarMaker that I'm on. I'm known as ChromeRose on there. I have sung a lot of temporal songs on there. I should really start doing more spiritual songs.
Hi Mimi, this song was from the EFY album "Remember The Promise", it's performed by Katherine Thompson. You can buy it here deseretbook.com/p/remember-the-promise-efy?variant_id=121915-digital-album
Everyone to read the book of Mormon and pray about it with a sincere heart and and ask the Lord if the church isn't church isn't. He will tell that it's true. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen
I left the church 20 years ago and I got re baptized 2 years ago. I'm so thankful to come back and get a second chance. I know that the church is true and the book of Mormon is true. I love Jesus Christ. He died for all of us. I challenge
