My teething son stopped crying while I played this video :-)

[68dzl1]

@tilini true that...I play this song for the newborn.. any rendition of this song gets them to calm down and drift off to sleep.. :)

[jamesbennett5788]

Wouldn't it be great to have the same wealth of scriptural material to write a song about female Book of Mormon role models? Can you guys understand what it's like to read scriptures that only talk about 'he', 'him' ??? The word is 'dissed'

[SpiffyBonez]

Subbed

[cutemormon95]

We sang this at girls camp this week. I love this song, it's so beautiful and inspirational.

[snowangel246]

I'm actually a mormon! But um, this has truly made my day. This brought the spirit to me. You guys have inspired me. People say that mormons are weird and all, but look at david archuleta, or shay carl and his family. Mormons are just regular like everybody else. They just have their own beliefs like others. Like no smoking, no coffee, no tea (unless herbal) and us mormons follow the scriptures. If anybody wants to, check out Mormon.org it will change your life.

[murffdan]

[marf4lyf]

MORMONS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......i didn't know u guys could sing like this.............i mean u mormons....no offence....cause most of the times u guys sing hyms...this new twist is great......if the song was a three part harmony i think it would have sounded better....................

[Dahpoo]

@marf4lyf maaaan mormons can sing ANYTHING haha, cause singing hymns is a freakin challenge man, like if you can sing those hard harmonies called hymns, you definitely sing other things, make sense?

[siliga1]

@marf4lyf weo u havent heard the ones from oceanside... type in molifua... nd click on the one with three guys standing... they are mormons

[goalkeepr27]

@marf4lyf You know david archuleta and donnie and marie osmond and many other famous singers are mormon right? haha

[warewolf9002]

@goalkeepr27 Gladys Night is Mormon.

[emopeepz1545]

@marf4lyf im mormon and trust me we just dont sing hyms lol

[FOTOFOTA]

@marf4lyf Do not forget that Mormons are human too just like everyone else except what they believe. That is what set them apart and seperated them from the rest of other religions.They could do everything in the world but they do restrain themselves from certain activities and other things due to their belief and detications to our Savior Jesus Christ and our Hevenly Father

[lboyz2]

@FOTOFOTA This is probably the first comment I've seen from someone who actually gets it. Thank you.

[kasanitavi]

you guys are BOMB. :] no doubt.

[pur3ham0]

[samotonga801]

[prncss1282]

[kittenman911]

[morgensternxR]

[CTR831]

@morgensternxR 

We can read our scriptures, Pray, and do the things they did with full purpose of heart.

[emopeepz1545]

@CTR831 lol i will read the sciptures every single day, i will pray bc i know that He will show the way, i will smile *ding* bc i know it'll all be worth my while i will read pray and smile *ding* lol its a song i learned at girls camp

[musiclikemercy811]

i'm not lds but my research on mormonism lead me to this song a few months ago and this is easily the most beautifully performed version i've seen.

[Whocarez100]

[M424Filmcast]

[pennphish]

Malo Au Pito bruddas. Malo.

[shaina300]

Love the work that all missionaries do for the Lord! If only we could all be like those missionaries of old...

[07LESiELi]

maliee<3

Sperad the Word of Him[;

[Wackydan013]

How can you not say they are singing for Jesus? Saving the best for last in the song, they use him as the Ultimate Role Model. Mormons recognise that Jesus is the only PERFECT model we have, but we also realise that many other inspired people have walked this earth and we would be well served to try and emulate ALL of them. But Christ in the only way back to God. We know that. Don't hate. :)

[Nanakuli05]

omg i totally loved this:)

you guys are so handsome and you all sing really really great

and guess what i was going back to church too and this just gave me the confidence to walk back in church

THANK YOU

[khau007]

Actually, they do say Jesus. In fact, hes the main part of the song, near at the end. Good work guys!!!

[skok8ha]
