I would love to get a copy of the sheet music that includes the Bridge with harmonies, where would I be able to get that! I want to sing it with my girls at our priesthood/temple Preview..

Where can I get the sheet music that includes the bridge with harmonies? I'm teaching this song to my ward primary for them to sing on Mother's Day and would love to include it. It is beautiful!

Lynne, this song is a favorite. I too had a "moment" with that temple, while traveling from AZ to DC for a High School National History Day competition. As we drove in vans to our hotel, I was laying down in the back when someone gasped "What is THAT?" I sat up and my heart leaped. "That's where I'm getting married!" I pronounced. Though in the end it was the Manti temple, it was a instantaneous declaration of my desire for an eternal family...why? Because I had been taught about the temple my whole life. Thank you for using your talents so beautifully Lynne.

Very inspiring and important message, Lynne. I love your song! It reminded me of the three young woman I saw this morning coming out of the Provo Temple. They had obviously been doing baptisms before going to school because they had wet hair. It was very cold outside and they could have been shivering, but instead they were smiling and even taking pictures. Someone definitely taught them about the temple. What great young people we have in the Church today! What wonderful parents who teach them to love the temple.

That same dear Pres. Swinton was the Washington DC Temple President when I served my two year mission there from 2012-2014 as a temple ordinance worker. What a wonderful man he is! It was a delight and a privilege to serve with him during that time. The DC Temple is breathtaking at night, and my heart still skips a beat when I see photos of that sacred edifice.

Though it seems like a lifetime ago, you DID teach me about the temple and, you taught me well! Since your mission, I married in the temple, raised four sons and now have eight grandchildren born in the covenant. My sons went on missions themselves and I shared in their joy when those they loved and taught in New York, Bermuda, Arizona, Togo and Benin had the chance to go to the temple. In a world that is filled with turmoil, violence and self-centeredness, the temple remains a refuge and a source of strength for me no matter what trials come my way. Thank you for your service more than 30 years ago. You are remembered and loved.
