Simple truths

Teaching singing time to the junior primary kids is a calling that I have enjoyed. Most of the time it feels more like entertaining 30 kids, rather than being spiritual. but sometimes the simplicity of the principles I am teaching through song just hit me and the spirit is able to confirm again the truth of the things I know.
The past Sunday I was teaching the song "I lived in Heaven" about our pre-mortal life. The second verse starts with. "Father said He needed someone who had enough love . . . to give his life so we all could return there above". As I repeated these word to the kids and asked them who loved us so much that he gave his life, my eyes filled with tears and my throat filled with a lump thinking about the precious gift that Jesus Christ has given us. He truly is our Savior, who volunteered from the beginning to give his life for us. My brother and my Redeemer. I love Him and am so grateful (this word seems so lacking in the thanks I want to express) for his sacrifice in my behalf. The simplicity of this truth taught through the song enables the spirit to confirm and to testify.
Here is a link to the song if you'd like some simple upliftment.
