This hymn's lyrics are all about the songs our hearts will be singing when we're reunited with our loved ones in the next life. That message resonates with me partly because I enjoy making music with my family and partly because I can't imagine how great it will be to be together again never to be parted.
It's always difficult to arrange times for my family to meet because we are literally spread from coast to coast. Whenever we do get together, we all have a great time, but there comes that time of parting when you are right on the line of crying - and sometimes I do - because feelings of happiness and sadness become so confusingly intermixed.
For me, this song is about celebrating our time together both now and in the next life. I hope you enjoy my arrangement above as well as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's version below.
