Story:
"Oh Lord" (Summer 2001)
Every time I ask myself which of my original choral songs is my favorite, I keep coming back to this one, time and time again… The text comes from the Psalm of Nephi (2 Nephi 4). The original version (a cappella choir) also includes a script from the scriptures, accessed here. "Oh Lord" is an attempt to let us hear what the choirs of heaven would sound like. I love this song because it makes me think of the temple.
