Mormon Tabernacle Choir, “You raise me up”

When we were first asked to do the bible study at the retirement center, I thought maybe I should just find some nondenominational thought that is uplifting to the soul. I decided to get on line and try to find some ideas from the thoughts shared on the Tabernacle Choir’s “Spoken Word.”
I got on their site but got sidetracked a little because they had a rendition of “You Raise Me Up”, one of my favorite songs. Sister Anderson tells me that I have a lot of favorites and I suppose that is true. They did a little write-up explaining how it was the song that almost wasn’t. But here is their rendition.

I think Sister Anderson may still be partial to Josh Groban’s version.

Well I ended up not using any of the ideas from the spoken word because they were too short for my purposes, but the “You Raise Me Up” song was an uplifting diversion.

Speaking of the Tabernacle Choir, I often share a story concerning the Choir, here in the mission field, from one of Elder Gerald Lund’s books.
