Lyrics: 1. Plain and precious the things that were taken
For this purpose He has caused much more
Know ye not that there are many nations
And these words confirm which came before
CHORUS: Oh it is to each of us He seeks
As from the dust these words to speak
Remember the promise to all man
So with God our Father we shall one day stand
2. It is He our Lord the One Eternal
hrough His ancients He calls out to you
As He commands through all that's spoken
Out of every corner to the pure and true
CHORUS
CHORUS
Shall one day stand Story:
"As From The Dust" (Winter 2007)
This song is a Joe Olivas adaptation of the scripture in the Book of Mormon, which I've tried to beautifully set to music. It is a stirring power ballad that will be the first track on Joe and my collaborative album. In studio, everyone grabbed a hold of this one more than the others, with the engineers adding drums, guitar, bass, and a little more backup vocals. Man it sounds like a REAL song!
