Have you ever thought about what you would do if all the songs in the world were about to be destroyed except for one, of your choosing? That's how I think about it if someone asks me what my favorite song is. I love so many songs that thinking like that is the only way I can narrow it down to just one.
In case you were curious, that one song is "Come, Thou Font of Every Blessing".
I'm pretty sure that this is everything that a song is meant to be -- "virtuous, lovely, [and] praiseworthy", uplifting ... it's a prayer. I know that "the song of the righteous is a prayer" unto the Lord (Doctrine and Covenants 25:12), but this is one of the few songs that I actually feel is a prayer every time I sing or hear it.
This is my absolute favorite recording of it - I cry every time:
This is the last post for a week - hope y'all have a great one! I know I will!
Oh I do love this song! One of my favorite versions is sung by Caleb & Sol, twin brothers with amazing voices: http://youtu.be/6TqOZd_OVcY
