  • beautiful song!...who are these brothers this song speaks of?

  • @ftialigo

    it's the hero's of the Book of Mormon who set such a good example for us in our day full of so many imperfections. this song speaks of how he longs to be like them because they were such great examples of Christ and his followers.

  • @ftialigo They are righteous people that lived in ancient times who showed courage and stood up for what they believed in. We learn about them in The Book of Mormon. Truly great examples of courage, strength, humility and a great love of our Father in Heaven.

  • NO unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing....persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, and columny may defame but the truth of God will go forth BOLDLY NOBLY and INDEPENDENT, until it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear.....Sorry HomeGurl Sista Faa808 dunno NOTHING about our religion so just stick to yours, it obvisously taught you how to judge others.....OneLove yourself

  • @faa808 what is it wit all you a.o.g. ppl who swear we praise joseph smith.?. lol.. have you even read the book of mormon?

  • wow wondeful

  • I really love this song. Oh my gosh, I need the notes so i can play and sing it...

  • @zion3175 ..shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd if you believe all the words of the Holy Bible and understand that Jesus Christ in the text is telling us that there are other sheep or nations that haven't heard of his word and that He shall manifest Himself unto those nations, kindred, toungue and people.. So please be careful ok...there are more nations that one that need and will hear the Word of God and the Book of Mormon, Phophet has taught me and much more.

  • Comment removed

  • @zion3175 I see that looking through all these comments that you have quite a view on The Book of Mormon and see that you have a great knowledge of the Holy Bible...

    We don't not critisize your beliefs on the Holy Bible, we too have the Holy Bible the King James version to be exact as it is the least amended Holy Bible in English

    Since you are firmiliar with the Bible you would be in mind that on John 10:16 "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring and they...

  • Dpes anyone know where I can find this song?

  • @scotclansmen you can email the writter by email requesting the sheet of music if that helps???

    here is his email nelaotuafi@yahoo.com his name is Nela Otuafi (hence the name mentioned at the beginning)

  • amazing voice....i like the message of the song...when i listen to music while its playing ..I know the message is true...keep on singing like this one...

  • such a  spirital song

    beautiful

  • your guyz voice is amazing...lovin it

  • I love it!

  • Dedicated to My Sister J.Fepz ..... <3 Me Kelo

  • that is SUCH a pretty song!! <3

  • whatever yous say this song is the best. explains alot. and makes you think. love it. (:

  • looooooooove this song!!

  • This is AMAZING. I haven't heard it played this way EVER. I like how it is slow and catchy. Is there anywhere I can get the piano music? If I ever have to sing in sacrament I would love to sing this song. I love the way you did it. Good Job. How can I be like Him?

  • I'm sorry to disagree with you, but the first image you showed of Jesus and the one at 2:28 are NOT reflective of what He looks like at all. Jesus has a face full of love, a love beyond description. The picture at 1:16 is more like it, but even so it is not it. Try and see if you could draw an adult man whose eyes reflect innocence and a pure heart

  • @Bernytheplayboy OK, someone is being over critical, as if you've seen His face. Not disagreeing with your perception of Jesus; I just think it odd that you claim to be an authority on what He looks like. Best advice is just to try to "receive His image in your countenance" and be full of His love. Good song!

  • @Bernytheplayboy Really? When did you last see the face of Christ? (In my best Ricky Bobby impression) I picture a little baby Jesus. Dear baby Jesus...

  • @pilottim79 I didn't see him; I was referring to the testimony of a Muslim who saw Him while he was seeking the truth—before he permanently converted to Christ. He spoke of "a face full of compassion." I don't believe any Muslim would dare to deny his own religion, since that'd be a blasphemy in the eyes of Islam, unless something truly divine had occured

  • This song brings me so much peace! I love listening to it. I'm sorry you keep being accused of not trying to be like Jesus Christ when that is how the song ends. But, I just wanted to let you know that I love this song and think you have an amazing voice and also a wonderful pianist! =)

  • BRAMENDOR IS AN IDIOT!!!!!! SEND HIM INTO A ROUND ROOM HE WILL SPEND A LIFE TIME LOOKING FOR THE CORNER............ THE ANSWER IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU " JESUS CHRIST"

  • love this song too!!

  • @Bramendor The Pharisees and Sadducees said/thought similar things, my friend. I testify to you, in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, that EVERY single word and mention of the various prophets in this song were all prophets of God, and true servants of our Savior, Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith being the most valiant, and the very prophet of the Restoration of the true church of Jesus Christ. Persecution is never of God, btw.

  • @sulatlalaki

    Everything is of God. Smallpox, AIDS, murder, flowers. Its all made by God. God gives us the free will to persecute. And if you say that these things weren't "made" by God; God didn't destroy those things and are therefor they're here with his permission.

  • its amazing

  • Wow loving this rendition!!!!! Its amazing!!!!! What a powerful song this is too.

  • Podrían proporcionarme la letra de la cancion?? :D

  • man this song is beautiful. first time i heard this it got me thinking of what i am doing. n how i can be a better person. just want to say thanks. sounds amazing

  • im so sick of reading and watching all the controversial stuff on youtube about our church so its so nice to come up here and listen to some truly inspirational and uplifting music...Im so glad we all belong to and love the true gospel of Jesus Christ. What greater way to learn to love our father in heaven and our saviour Jesus Christ and draw ourselves closer to them than by living the gospel...I love this song...

    u sing it very well..beautiful voice..

  • Isaac this is absolutely stunning! I heard this version on myspace on a friends page and didn't know who was really singing it...simply stunning...you have such an amazing gift!

  • It's amazing how a song can be as convincing (and sometimes more) as the testimony of Prophets, Apostles and our other 'Anointed'/'Called' leaders. Beautiful! Really brought the spirit. This should be offered through an LDS Publishing Co. instead of just 'YouTube'.

  • This song is beautiful. Is there any way I can get a download and the uke chords?

    Golden tablets?

  • dude relax its a beutiful song

  • I have nothing against LDS. I have alot of family who are LDS. I always welcome Missionaries into my house. WE have good talks about faith.

    Have you watch September Dawn?

  • You should do some honest research before you believe everything you see...and hear. September Dawn? Try studying up on the subject first before buying into it.

  • @zion3175 I disagree with you: it is thanks to Joseph Smith that I know how unique Jesus was and is. If you want to discredit someone I view as one of the Lord's greatest prophets, why not also discredit Noah, Moses, John the Baptist and the very apostles who wrote the New Testament while you're at it? We're indebted to each one of them.

  • @Bernytheplayboy We're in debt? Im sorry you got that wrong. So what you are saying is that the bible wasnt enough to make you understand how unique Jesus is? Sister my best advise is to stick to the scriptures, the One and only Holy Bible!

  • @Bernytheplayboy - The is a warning in Revelation 22:18-9 which states:

    "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book."

  • @zion3175 that is good , but is obviously only meant for that book, "Revelation."

  • @zion3175

    When we truly study the words of the prophet Joseph Smith we gain a better understanding of the Saviour Jesus Christ.

  • @CTR831 sorry bro/sis but the bible only with the holy spirit is enough for man to understand. There is nothing in the BOM that can be proven today? Places and tribes have no records. Even the native americans have no idea of who these so called tribes are. And there is no way a civilization of that capacity could disapear with out a trace, unless it was made up? Brother you need to make these questions to your pastor. I am talking with love.

  • Comment removed

  • @zion3175 have you even read the book of mormon? prolly not. your goin to sit there and tell me that all we need is a bible today. foolish child! how dare you tell God that he doesnt have the power to reveal more to his children. thats a sin and you need to ask for forgiveness. i could put the Gold plates right in your face and you will not know anymore about the book of mormon than you do now. Read it first before you start talking

  • @zion3175 There's barely any proof of Noah's Ark, of the existence of the flood in its epic proportions, and even of Jesus Christ himself!

    So how can you claim that there's barely any evidence for the Book of Mormon, when the Bible itself has several differing manuscripts and alternative translations?

  • i love this song, we were singing it with our youth...pretty mean!!

  • yeah my uncle wrote this amazing song!!!!!!!!!

  • AMEN TO THAT....THE BOOK OF MORMON IS ANOTHER TESTAMENT OF JESUS CHRIST. If you haven't read it, please find a missionary of the church and ask for a copy, then you'll know the whole story of the PROPHETS in the song...

  • you dnt noe how uplifting this song is...thank you and it is a beautiful version of tha song...AWESOME!!

  • What a great version of this song.

  • Awesome Job!...Luv this song:)

  • great job! nela otuafi wrote this right?

  • iZik08,

    How can I get a copy of this recording? My son is on a mission right now and I would love to send it to him and the other Elders in his apartment. They need to hear it. I love this version the best. The harmony is amazing. It's amazing to know that this sound can bring a tear to the eye of a bad dude like me. Thanks.

  • do you know where i can get the sheet music to this song?

  • Isaac: this song invokes so many wonderful memories of my days of teaching seminary in Kahuku. You've come a long way from the farmer in "Youths Garden" Who would have thought? what a beautiful voice you have.

    Keep spreading the love........

    AROHANUI SS
