Scripture Saturday — D&C 25:12

"For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads." (Doctrine and Covenants 25:12)

Missionaries, members of the Church and visitors in the Franklin, Tennessee area were treated yesterday to the music of the Nashville Tribute Band, a world-class group of musicians featuring star country trio Due West; Diamond Rio keyboardist Dan Truman; singer/actress Katherine Nelson, who portrays Emma Smith in Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration; and guitarist/singer/songwriter Jason Deere.

As the members of the band shared their powerful testimonies through song, I was immediately reminded of the above scripture in Doctrine and Covenants 25:12. Music expresses emotion and personal testimony in a way words cannot. You'll get a taste of that as you listen to the clips below.

I have a testimony of the gospel, and I have a testimony of music. I'm grateful for the spirit I feel when I listen to uplifting music. I'm grateful for artists like the Nashville Tribute Band who create and promote wholesome music in a world that condones filthy and degrading music. I'm grateful for the Prophet Joseph Smith and for my pioneer ancestors. The Nashville Tribute Band has dedicated albums to both.
