  • We are the latter-day saints. the server of god, and of his true church...

  • Being Mormon/LDS has blessed my life in ways only other members can understand. David Archuleta is a great example to everyone. I'm proud that he is going to be serving a full time mission. It will change him in ways that he doesn't know. Follow him.

  • @24citizen if ur a fulltime missionary den u shud know the fullness of the gospel.. Dats wat other churchs dont hve.. We go on missions to invite them n share the fullness and the truthfulness of jesus christs true church.. Im a convert n a return missionary..

  • why does everyonr keep saying that mormon is bad ????? i cant understand. eventhough i dont belong to any religion but with all the things i learn from david, all the things he has done to show what the real mormon is, i do belive that his religion is somehow great!

  • I can't wait for David to become a god and get his own planet! I hope he inherits this one! ALL HAIL DAVID!!!

  • ..me too..! :) i really love this video...im also proud to be a member of the true church..The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!!

  • What you wanna mean when you say "true church"? are you saying the other ones are fake....? I served as full time missionary here in Brazil where I live and today I´m attending another Christian church and I still have the same testemony about the LDS church but we can not imagine that other people who belongs to another church are not adoring the real GOD. I understand you are bearing your testemony when you say that, but you can not close your eyes to the other children of God. Think about it.

  • @24citizen The children of god are everyhwere. The true ones actually worship him though as a mormon which is what hes asked us to do. Lds is the true church, none of the other ones are

  • @EricaGrear i wouldnt say my self that the other churchs are not true, i would offer them to come & find out for them selves & seek for them selves, forcing them to believe what we believe is a reason for them astray, we shouldnt force the word of God but keep an open door to everyone who is welcome in the eyes of God to find the truth they deserve to hear,

  • @EricaGrear just because we have the truth doesnt give us the right to judge so quickly we mormons still have alot to learn for we are far from perfect, we need to learn to welcome everyone who are children of God without offending or interfering with their free will of life, God is loving & understanding & he shows kindness & mercy that we still need to learn from to bring our brothers & sisters closer to him, being judgemental doesnt help when we should be loving about it,

  • @EricaGrear choose the right means more than just speaking it, we should be showing it unconditionally, we learn about missionary work to practice missionary work before actually going out to do missionary work, we dont bring in non members to Heavenly Father we welcome them to Heavenly Father & with unconditional love we can lead them the way to be closer with him if we choose the right way to do it in, its something to think about my friend xox

  • i am glad that i am a member of the true church

  • Well i am Pentecostal and i have nothing against them no more then them against me One Nation Under God

  • Why so many people think that Mormon is bad? I don't think so, though I'm not an LDS member.

  • woo GO LDS! <3

    no matter what anyone says ill always be proud to be member of this church, it has changed the way i look at things and thanks to the church i know I'm a daughter of god and he loves me :)

  • hey i am Mormon! :) and im a singer too

  • omg i didnt know he was a mormon until i saw his video that he is going to serve a mission. Im so proud of you for choosing the right. Thumbs up if you are proud to be a mormon. I am proud to be one.

  • I have to say here that I am not a Mormon but every single time I hear this young man sing, all I want to do is be closer to God. I am ashamed that there are people out there who claim to be "religious" and yet ridicule the Morman religion. Thier comments are selfish and inappropriate. David and his unbeleivable gift could have only come from a beautiful God!

  • So Beautiful <3

  • Could you please disable comments? Many of them are very rude and untrue. Thanks members for trying to tell the real truth. We are all sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. He loves us all, no matter what. Let's all just get along. Beautiful song by the way(;

  • I love being apart of the LDS Church!  You are a beautiful singer!

  • This video is pretty cool !!

  • we aren't mormon we are lds

  • I don't believe there is one true religion. There are plenty of great religions that all basically say that being close to God can get us into heaven. I have been to different churches but the one I feel most comfertable in is the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. It doesn't matter what religion you are as long as you are trying to build a relationship with God.

  • i would have loved to be there and see david sing at the LDS church. i <3 mormon boyz :P

  • @nohomoinme What is wrong with you??? Your comment is enormously uncalled for!

  • @churchmusicdirector

    Mormons use the bible as the book of guidance. Mormons know the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ. We also use the book of mormon too. But nothing in the book of mormon contradicts the bible. For Mormons the bible comes first for answers.

  • im way proud as well...

  • Our actions will never get us into heaven. It is only through the Grace of God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, that we can get into heaven. It's not about what church you go to, or if you go to any church at all. It's about what's in your heart, and God knows what is there. Your relationship with GOD is much more vital than a relationship with any church denomination will ever be. So, when Mormons come to my house and tell me this is the true church of Christ...I have to call BS on them.

  • @churchmusicdirector You make a great point. It is about what's in your heart that will give you the higher glory. It's also about your relationship with God. Have you put that relationship to good use yet? You claim that the LDS religion is not the true church of Christ, but have you actually prayed about it? How do you KNOW that the faith is "BS"? Go before God and ask with full faith and an open heart and mind.

  • @TchrQrmPres What I meant by the LDS religion not being the true church was that it's not the only church through which we can get to heaven, as door-to-door Mormon's have stated. It's about your relationship with God. If you attend a church, it should adhere to the same guidelines as are found in the Bible and encouraged through the life of Jesus. Anything telling us that actions will get us into heaven, when God's grace alone gets us into heaven, is wrong. How do I know? It's in the Bible.

  • @TchrQrmPres Any denomination that claims that another way, besides through Jesus Christ, will get you into heaven, is not of God. It's the work of someone else. Read the Bible and learn about God through His holy word. Nothing else should take the place of the Bible as God's word to His people. I pray for all of the believers of God, that they not be misled by something that contradicts the Bible. God bless. I won't be responding to any more comments here. Trust in God and His word--the BIBLE.

  • stopped in for a light tune, but:

    @churchmusicdirector the generally held view is that the bible contradicts itself. the relationships between apparent contradictions, that's where the meat is. (true of most works, actually.)

    the doctrinal mormon posture is hidden in alma 7:15/6. reading just the verse gives you the interpretation you articulated, in context h/e it's clear 'action' refers to exercising faith and establishing covenants [with god presumably.]

    close reading is your friend.

  • @churchmusicdirector the Bible tells us that "faith without works is dead."

  • I didn't realize David Archuleta was a Mormon. He sounds really great and has an effortless high range. Would someone please correct me on this if I'm wrong...but one of the Mormon beliefs is that if you do well enough in this life you get to become a god of your own planet after you die. Is that true? If it is, it seems to completely go against Jesus' salvation ALONE getting us into heaven, which is a crucial part of the Holy Bible. John 3:16. Thoughts? Thanks. :)

  • @churchmusicdirector its not true i am a mormon since birth and have never heard of it .. there is only one god who owns heaven and earth and tha

  • This song was not sung in a mormon church. I was at this performace. It was song at West Ridge Acadamy which is a residential treatment center.

  • i love this song be still my soul

  • People who have problems with our church just because they think their church is better should RESPECT our beliefs and don't jump into conclusions. We have different beliefs. If you want to know more about us, read our scriptures first and understand them or let our missionaries teach you. We don't force you but just suggest you so you would stop arguing. We read and love the holy bible and not just that because we have other books. People who are against our church sounds so wicked.

  • David Archuleta is said to be an active member of our church. So he's not yet a missionary but some people say that he's an unofficial missionary. He's already serving the Lord by using his talent to touch other people's heart with his singing.

  • Some people say that we LDS or 'Mormons' aren't Christians. They're wrong. Those people probably don't know what's the meaning of 'Christian'. We're Christians because we believe and follow Jesus Christ. And it's sad that many people criticizes our founder. He may have have married many wives but there's a good reason why he did that. And I know he's not a bad person because he restored the church of our savior. I have no complain to what our church teaches us because they're all good for me.

  • Are you sure this is an LDS chapel? There isn't usually pictures in the chapel. . .

  • why did David Archuleta did chose to not go on a mission?

  • I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and am so grateful to God for the peace and happiness this gospel brings into my life. Thank you for this video, inspiring and invites the spirit!

  • thanks for singing this wonderful hymn david! :)

    i dont know why many criticize the church because of polygamy thing or something.. they keep on searching bad things about the church. well in fact, the simple way i think they should do to find out if our church is indeed a christian church is to pray and ask directly to our father in heaven the truth. and i know that the spirit will bear witness of that truth.. :)

  • I was reading these comments and let me tell you members, you get more flies with honey than with vinegar, so come on and be Christian okay? DAVID you as always were beautiful :)

  • @nikkyitalyny we are a christian church

  • @nikkyitalyny we ARE Christians lol

  • Did anyone else hear that voice of an angel? it sounded like it came form that boy! weird......

  • all these people diss are religion andthey hardly no anything about it or whos in it!

  • Just saw this documentary about polygamy. Joseph Smith caused all of these pedophiles to abuse their wives and children. Disgusting and not at all Christ-like.

  • @Kannon12 SHUT UP, seriously? polygamy was banned in the church in the 1800s. Joseph Smith didn't "CAUSE" anything. People make their own decisions on their on accord.

  • @heylovebugSMILE Well, who wrote D&C 132 commanding and justifying polygamy? Joseph Smith.

  • @Kannon12 Who also out lawed it from a vision from Heavenly Father. Joseph Smith.

  • @heylovebugSMILE Joseph Smith did not outlaw polygamy. It was practiced by his successor Brigham Young and others.

  • People have rights to their own relgion so I guess no one should make fun of peoples religion go Mormons & iphone4 :)

  • Dude, not okay to record things in the chapel.. But it is nice to listen to.

  • if ever I wanted to convince some alien species that humans were actually all retarded, I would just direct them to the youtube and force them to read the comments

  • Recording in church? That's super tacky.

  • @Cheshu1 FYI morons read king James bible. It seemed like a real bible to me. What one do you read? LDS Church is centered on JC bud. Anyways you sound like you might know the guy. Next time you see him let him know I've been looking for him the last couple decades or so...

  • Why is it, when ever you bring up a solid point/question to (fill in the blank) people they go off on some completely irreverent tangent and act like it settled the debate? Ok so the prophet is a prophet because Gladys Knight is LDS. And Lets forget about common sense and reason, lets just hold hands, sing kumaya and close our eyes to everything around us... because after all, this life isn't what really matters. It's the next one we should focus on...

  • Gladys Knight is a mormon and you dont hear people talking smack about her and her religious choices!! GO MORMONS!!

  • what song is he singing?

  • @Cheshu1bro I think you are the one who is really racist here, don't you know that many Africans are Mormons too and they are very faithful.

  • @Chesdude you got that from south park. joseph smith didn't look into a hat with some stone he translated it for years and finally got it published and now it is called the book of mormon oh ya and i am a thirteen year old mormon

  • @holdenrichins “.joseph smith didn't look into a hat with some stone”

    It is Mormon Leaders who claim Smith did used a seer stone to translate the B of M. Richard Lloyd Anderson (quorum of the 12) and Russel M Nelson (also) before they wrote the respective articles "By the Gift and Power of God" and "A Treasured Testament" for the Ensign in September 1977 and July 1994 respectively.

    David Whitmer is the one they quote as saying that he read it out of a hat.

  • Mormons rule!!!! Im glad to be a mormon!!!

  • @Cheshu1 what are you trying to say?

  • MORMONS RULE

  • im so proud to be a member of the church(:

  • @temari1427 me too :) Its a shame that people cant just all get along. I have many friends of many different religious backgrounds and we COEXIST just fine. I am VERY PROUD to be a member of the LDS church!! 

  • . I Love this song very much .. I feel the spirit of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ ..

  • @anna19LDS Might I remind you that the Mormon Heavenly Father Joseph Smith clamed is nothing more than an exalted man. The God of the Bible, who J. S. denied, was, is and form eternity to eternity God. The God of the Bible was never a man that became God, but has always and always will existed as God. That is the God of the Bible and Christians.

  • @Cheshu1 do'n say anything to us .. specially in our religion .. our Church is true .. and I testified that ..

  • @mormonarchuleta Block Cheshu1

    Like he blocked me, because he couldn't handle me

  • i cant believe somebody filmed in Sacrament meeting : /

  • be still, listen, and feel the spirit that this kid brings when he sings.  Thats the true test of one's charator. Judge not, lest......

  • Why do people gotta be hatin? Just listen to him sing and enjoy the music! :)

  • @Cheshu1 well bro im not a mormon but not only the mormons were racist, the evangelistic church was racist too until the enD of the 50s ..10 years more or less is the same, if you dont remember the south of Usa had slaves...BLACK SLAVES... so if you attack the mormon church should attack catholics and evangelistics churches too , the united states was and is a racist country ...if you go to south america is very very normal to see a blond guy married with a black girl..but in the states...

  • i think its funny how someone would record something in chhurch, haha :D oh welll. im Mormon toooo.

  • my friends sister dated him when they were still in school

  • @Cheshu1 except for when he turned Cain's skin dark after killing Abel. lol.

  • this is beautiful

  • the best singer in the world could sing this song and it wouldn't be as spiritual and powerful as David singing it because he truly believes EVERY word he is singing!

  • Omgosh, i didn't know he was a member. Wow !!! :)

  • Comment removed

  • hes not gay, one rule is you cant be gay... im mormon and i love it! i wounder why he hasnt made anything new latly, hes probly on a mission!!

  • Oh my goodness! I just sang this beautiful song in church myself! David is adorable and he does this song perfectly!

  • I love you David!!!

  • beautiful.

  • Comment removed

  • wish he could sing at my ward.

  • I love this hymn - David sings it wonderfully - his voice is really pure

  • @Cheshu1 Check your sources, you are not using this in the proper content.

  • hey i am a mormon and i bet if you tlked with david hed say that he would want you to worship christ not him. hes a wonderful singer i cant wait to meet him myself nut i dnt worship him. and hes a human being

  • @kyra1awesome He would ask you to read the Book of Mormon and consult your feelings to get a testimony of it and Joseph Smith. Then follow the prophet.  Jesus is an afterthought in Mormonism.

  • @GmaM11 no im sorry u have it wrong. u see my churchs name is the church of jesus chrtist of latter day saints. not hte church of joshep smith of latter day siants. we focuse on god. and thank you for your in out. i have a testomony of al three things. christ, the book of mormon and also joshep smith oh and the prophets. and how wuld uk wat we belive in? r u mormon? n plz dnt belive wat u hear in textbooks they lie about my religoin. well yah. thank you and have a good day. :D

  • @kyra1awesome Born and raised Mormon. Married in temple. Held leadership positions. Resigned!! How do you know? Not because it agrees with God's Word, the Bible. 66 books by 40 authors over 1000 year period, total doctrinal agreement. Jesus said, His message was from the Law (Torah, 1st 5 books) which have never changed. By Mormons say the Bible is corrupted, so they deny Christ's teachings. If you deny His Word, you deny Him. Mormon scripture contradicts itself. see docs on utlm.org.

  • @GmaM11 wow.......um im only a beehive im 13...........i kinda dont understand everything you said. so yah. haha. i hope you have a good day :D nice talking with you. and i was born and still am being raised mormon. yay

  • @kyra1awesome Prophets? What have your prophets prophesied? Gordon B. said temples would dot the earth but that was about as much as a prophesy as this, I'm going to get a drink of water... look here's my water! See!! The Lds church has so much money from guilting it's members into paying tithing and offerings, it would be extremely easy for Gordon to PLAN that. But what prophecies have you heard them "prophecy"? Prophets... sad. Religious people promote stupidity.

  • Comment removed

  • Not to cause a problem but arent you not supposed to video tape things inside the chappel? O.o but great job i love this song!! Mormans are awesome :D

  • @blfpg Don't be afraid to ask your friends! I'm a mormon and I luv it when my friends ask me questions about what I believe in! There's really nothing that u should be embarassed to ask them about. We as mormons are taught to teach our religion to friends and to anyone who is interested in hearing about the church so please dont hesitate to ask! =)

  • Kinda becoming a stereotype now, lol.

    All mormons can sing, ha!

    Love this song!!

  • @blfpg To do a statement like that leaves out the purpose of the statement(TheonHafet300's statement). Go read the Book of Mormon if you want to know more. I recommend Moroni chapter 10.

  • He has such a beautiful voice, im so glad he is a mormon like me, its a great thing and i am proud to call myself lds :) xxxx

  • I'm a mormon! It's nice to see a person represent us!

  • he is singing on the pulpit which is I believe if I'm not mistaken should be forbidden to be taken a picture and much worst video. it is sacred in our church. (LDS)

  • @beatavie ya i don't know why they did that, if we can't play guitar then why do we take a video?!

  • @beatavie i agree. its cool to see, but honestly guys show some respect

  • all i know is this kid has got a good head on his shoulders and he loves his religion. ah, i can't imagine what it would be like having him in my ward! musical numbers don't happen like this in my stake! haha

  • why do people have to say mean things? David, i think You have a lovely voice. Sing for Heavenly Father to hear. ♥

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @TheonHafet300 people are just jealous because he's such a great singer and MORMON!!! :p everybody loves us mormons!! :D .......well......i do anyway :D teehee

  • it must be very awful to be gay for david, as he is in bigoted mormon church and has an abusive father. gay teen suicide in mormon church is so high. so sad.

  • Comment removed

  • @lifewithleexxiii Yes, it happens quite commonly. Even if they don't commit suicide, your church's attitudes are responsible for causing massive psychological harm to kids who happen to be gay. I know one personally.

  • Comment removed

  • @lifewithleexxiii There are people who have issues with gayness, but the number is shrinking much faster in the general population than it is in certain religious groups - leading that list would be Pentecostals, Southern Baptists, and Mormons - the former two are just an example of rural ignorance, while the latter is arrogant, self righteous group conformity. One of my best friends is a mormon, and even though he's quite bright, that's how he and all of his mormon friends are.

  • Comment removed

  • @lifewithleexxiii Is there something wrong with your brain? The men you call Prophets and Seers have stated very clearly that the church is 100% against homosexuality. Do you not know this? How can you not know this and be a member? Furthermore, this is one big thing (of the many) that LDS people somehow overlook.

    If you don't have a problem with gays and you are moron (or in other words, you disagree with the Prophet), then you do not believe your religion is true. How could you?

  • @ninpon8 ummm no? you dont even know me. im not perfect. no one is. so stfu. i bet NO ONE agrees with every freaking thing other people in their religion believe, kaay?

  • @lifewithleexxiii You don't believe everything your religion teaches? Sounds like you should think about leaving it. I used to be mormon. I took my own advice.

  • @MUZIKAART haha your a dumb ass

  • @MarcusGM24 You must mean "you're."

  • He has such an amazing voice. He's my future husband :)

  • This song is just fantastic! David sings it just perfectly! He has one of the most incredible voices I have ever heard! I hope to hear much more from him!

  • This song makes me feel closer to God!

    I am so thankful for the church and what it means to me! We are lucky to have members like him to sing our songs!

  • all i say is Follow the Bible and Gods word, Let God lead you

  • i love this hymn. it's sooooo beautiful.

  • So beautiful! 

  • I am a mormon just like you David!!

  • Ummm... How can't members of the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints (mormons) not be Christians... A Christian is someone who believes in Christ... We're monotheistic, we believe that Christ is god's son and we don't worship him, we worship god... The thing that mainly sets us apart is that we believe that the gospel from christ's time has been restored and that gospel was restored by a man named Joseph smith when he was a young boy, we also believe that there are present day prophets

  • @hipsteresk don't take that offensively, it may have been a rude comment but it probably was said without much thought about offending the atheists. Maybe you may not believe it, but we are all God's children. He loves all of us, EVERY SINGLE ONE. No one person is better than another. Just listening to this music you can feel His love as a relaxing peace inside you. Give it a chance, there's no need to be filled with hatred or contention when you can be happy and feel peace. Just let it go.

  • @hansen5833 ok well first off. its really not that it offends me it just is annoying that christians always look down upon atheists..i mean arent you guys supposed to be understanding? anyway. if "god" loves every single one of his "children" then why would he make us sacrifice and worship him.? if i was a "god" i would just make life best as possible. Not make my children sacrifice and suffer. And then if u dont love god on earth or u sin. You burn in hell. But he loves you right? hah okay..

  • ok... well let me try and have you understand this.. God does love us. by giving us trials. we also bring pain to ourselves but because we chose to do the wrong instead of following what he wants for us ( so by not following the commandments). Heavenly Father (god) will never give us a trial we can not pass or handle. So if you have been going through trials its because he knows how strong you are and will be after. he loves you and just wants you to become the actual strong person you could be.

  • David is amazing. Can't you hear the spirit of God in that voice and song? Man. Chills dude. Chills. :)

  • It makes me laugh how people are being so rude to the LDS church. When has the ENTIRE church ever done anything to you? Who is always a first responder to accidents and disasters around the world? We don't care what religion you are. We are all Heavenly Fathers children so we need to love one another......LIKE IT JESUS ALWAYS TAUGHT.

    Anyways, how can you judge us if you have never read the Book of Mormon or been to our church?

    Don't judge us without knowing us.

  • @pineapplecrazed14 hahahaha...what a shot in the haters' head!!! Pineapplecrazed, I love you! Yes, why you haters love to hate us? Got self hatred?

  • @MellowMarlowe Awh thanks!! (: haha It bugs me so bad! We haven't done anything to you so grow up and get over it!

  • @pineapplecrazed14 i reposted this as my facebook status

  • @Michikothundermoon Awh thanks!!! (: haha 

  • @Michikothundermoon AWH! That's awesome! Thanks!!! (:

  • LOL first of all this is in sacrament meeting or a fireside or a baptism and you can't really record inside the sacrament meeting hall.

  • @myyKINDALOVee i was just thinking that too! if my leaders caught me doing that, i'd be DEAD! :)

  • @pineapplecrazed14 exactly let alone have my phone out at all during church would be disastrous!

  • David was at efy once :P he is LDS

  • @Lexijaye91 it isn't a chapel, it's just a large meeting room at a troubled youth type facility :P

  • lol who videos in sacrament

  • Comment removed

  • Is he mormon????

  • @Shelbieandchewee yep ^^

  • @Shelbieandchewee yup. :) i'm proud to be from the same church as david!!! :) he's a great example to us all, whether you're mormon or not!

  • LOVE

  • why does religion matter, in my opinion, hes a good singer and thats all that really matters

  • @billybolb I am sry but we r not nasty.. We don't about other religions in
