What Shall We Give?

Several years ago, I saw the Tabernacle Choir perform this song on the free video that came with our church magazine, The Ensign.  I cried.  The words resonated in my soul.   The music spoke to my heart.  I cannot think of another song that has had that kind of impact on me.  It was profound.

It was during that moment I knew I wanted to somehow name one of my daughters after this song.  Last year, when my little Belen was born, I finally got that opportunity. 

I still cannot listen to it without the tears welling up.  I know we cannot take things with us when we die, but I hope more than anything we can take music.  I cannot imagine going through the eternities without songs like this.  If heaven has a playlist, I am requesting this to be added to mine! :)

And then to add the words of one of my favorite talks by President Monson, it's just perfect.
