More about Lori A. Williams:
Lori Williams plays the piano and violin and she sings. Her more recent venture into writing music has been rewarding as her experience and testimony can now be shared with many more through song. I recognize the hand of the Lord in my life. He has helped me and will continue to as I stand near Him.

Song background:

This is about someone who knows deep down where to find truth, but sometimes struggles to know just how to make sense of it in this world. They are taught that because of the atonement of Jesus Christ they can have peace as they learn about and stay close to Him.

Recording sung by Charlotte Williams, piano accompaniment by Lisa Chappell, string bass by Mary Coombs

Lyrics: I want to remember who I really am. Where was I living before the world began? What is my purpose? Why am I here? Where am I going? There's confusion everywhere.
And I want to stand closer to Him, feel His light, know I'm alright. If I just stand by Him, His light will shine in.
My heart is willing though my feel grow weak, but I know He must be the way. I want to put my trust in Him, let Him fill my soul today. If I stand closer to Him, feel His light, know I'm alright. If I just stand by Him, His light will shine in.
Open my heart to new. Open my heart to view. Open my heart to see my true identity.
The world around me grows darker every day. I want to resist it, keep my covenants each day. I want to be worthy. I want to obey. I want to resist when darkness tries to stay.
And I must stand closer to Him, feel His light, know I'm alright. I want to stand by Him and let His light shine in.
I want to stand by Him.
