#15- Finish one of the songs I started Writing

In the winter semester of 2008 our final was an individual project of our choice. We could do anything pertaining to the Book of Mormon. I had an idea for a song for a long time but never took the time to get it out. Later that day I went to the Snow building and started figuring out my song. It was a neat experience because the words and music just started coming. I felt the Savior’s love while writing this song. The last two days of classes we had to present our final projects. I was very nervous and went to the front of the class and said that this was the first song I had ever written. I sat down and started to play. It was a neat experience and my testimony rang through. My friends really liked the song and said I did a great job. Here are the lyrics to my song called He Died for Me:

Why, why did he die,
just to save my life?
How, how did it feel,
the worry, pain, and strife?

I looked in his eyes,
the sadness was there.
What he did for me,
was beyond compare.

He died for me
He died for me

Why, why did he care,
that much for me?
What, what did he bear,
In Gethsemane

He suffered it all
and showed us the way,
So we could repent,
and live with Him some day

He died for me
He died for me

He died to save us
From all of our sins
He died to rescue us
From sorrow that’s within

I can’t repay Him
For what He gives
But it’s not over
Because… He lives!

He inviteth all
to come unto him
So we can have life
and return again

He lives for me
