I will start with Savior of the World, I can not say it enough, I love this production, it is absolutely amazing I feel the Spirit every time I watch it, or am a part of it. I have a few favorite parts but I love the end of the show, it is so amazing and that was just the beginning of this awesome night. Let me put the lyrics on here, they are not nearly as great as when we do it in the performance, but they're good enough. I hope you all will make the show.
Come, Lord Jesus End of Act II
Come, Lord Jesus Great Redeemer,
Light of morning from the East
We will be Thy children ever!
Dry our tears, all weeping cease.
Come in glory to the Earth,
Come to us to rule and reign,
Ready us to kneel and greet thee,
Come, Lord Jesus come.
Jesus, once of humble birth,
Now in glory comes to earth,
Once he suffered grief and pain,
Now he comes on Earth to reign!
Now he comes on Earth to reign.
Come, Lord Jesus Come.
This song became most personal to me when it really hit me what it was about. Its the Second Coming, I think its one of the most personal songs in the play because the whole play we are acting out the lives of others, but here in this song its all us, its the Second Coming when we will see the Lord again. We all knew him once.
Sister Z. (pretty much our director and leader of the play) came on the stage and talked about a part of the show where three apostles see Christ resurrected and feel the prints left in his hands. She had us do the same thing. We kneeled on the stage and one by one did the same thing, Brother Hunsaker has the sacred responsibility of portraying the Savior, he has a great Spirit. They played the last two songs as we did this. I'll admit it, I balled like a baby, I flat out balled. The Spirit there was so strong it was just amazing. I wish everyone could feel what I felt, this blog doesn't even come close. It was my turn and I walked up to the Savior, I felt his hands and hugged him and said what came out of my mouth. " Thank you, thank you so much." Phew it was... I don't even know the right word for it. I didn't want to go home, I didn't want to leave because the Spirit made me feel so great. The craziest thing. This wasn't really the Savior, it really wasn't the Second Coming, I can only imagine what it will really be like. I hope I can look up at the Savior guilt free. That must be the Celestial Kingdom like that room times infinity and it never leaves, that must be whats so great about it, and what an understatement great is.
There was a scripture that I read recently,
1 Nephi 20: 15-16
Starting at the end of 15 " I will not forget thee, O house of Israel. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me."
I know its true, its a great, the Lord will never forget us, He went through the Atonement for us, I challenge that if you need any guidance or help turn to Him, the Atonement wasn't only for sinners but for those who grieve, He went through that for us so He would know what its like, turn to Him. I hope you have felt maybe just a fraction of the spirit.
" He Lives, I know that my Redeemer lives."
