Jesus Christ Was Born and Died For You

 

Alma 7: 7-10, 12-13

"For behold, I say unto you there be many things to come; 

and behold, there is one thing which is of more importance 

than they all

—for behold, 

the time is not far distant that the 

Redeemer liveth 

and cometh among his people.

 But behold, the Spirit hath said this much unto me, saying: 

Cry unto this people, saying—Repent ye, and 

prepare the way of the Lord, 

and walk in his paths, 

which are straight; 

for behold, the kingdom of heaven is at hand, 

and the Son of God cometh upon 

the face of the earth.

And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem 

which is the land of our forefathers, 

she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, 

who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of 

the Holy Ghost, 

and bring forth a son, 

yea, even the Son of God.

 And he shall go forth, 

suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; 

and this that the 

word might be fulfilled which saith 

he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

 And he will take upon him death, 

that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; 

and he will take upon him their infirmities, 

that his bowels may be filled with mercy, 

according to the flesh, 

that he may know according to the flesh 

how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

 Now the Spirit knoweth all things; 

nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the flesh that he 

might take upon him 

the sins of his people, 

that he might blot out their transgressions 

according to the power of his deliverance; 

and now behold, 

this is the testimony which is in me."

I Wonder as I Wander

I wonder as I wander 

out under the sky...

How Jesus, the savior, 

had come for to die.

For poor ord'nary people, 

like you and like I.

I wonder as I wander 

out under the sky.

When Mary birthed 

Jesus t'was in a cow's stall,

With wisemen and farmers and 

shepherds and all,

But high in God's heaven 

a star's light did fall,

And the promise of ages, 

it then did recall.

If Jesus had wanted 

for any wee thing

A star in the sky or

a bird on the wing.

Or all of God's angels 

in heaven to sing.

He surely could have it, 

for he was the King!

I wonder as I wander 

out under the sky

How Jesus, the savior, 

had come for to die

For poor ord'nary people 

like you and like I.

I wonder as I wander 

out under the sky.
