"This is the Christ" performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir

We're going a little less Provo local and more Salt Lake local with this one, but I figured it was appropriate for Easter Sunday. This is one of my favorite songs, and who better to hear it from than the MoTab?

James E. Faust wrote the words to this song. They are very powerful lyrics, and I believe them with all my heart. As you listen to it, really pay attention to what it is saying.



Lyrics:
They heard His voice,
A voice so mild
It pierced them through
And made their souls to quake.
They saw Him come,
A man in white:
The Savior who had suffered
For their sake.

They felt the wounds in hands and side
And each could testify:
"This is the Christ!"

This is the Christ, the Holy Son of God
Our Savior, Lord, Redeemer of mankind.
This is the Christ, the healer of our souls
Who ransomed us with love divine.

I read His words,
The words He prayed
While bearing sorrow
In Gethsemane.
I feel His love,
The price He paid;
How many drops of blood
Were spilled for me?

With saints of old in joyful cry,
I, too, can testify:
"This is the Christ!"

This is the Christ, the Holy Son of God
Our Savior, Lord, Redeemer of mankind.
This is the Christ, the healer of our souls
Who ransomed us with love divine.
