More about Connie Stauffer:
I was raised in Thatcher, Utah, a small town west of Tremonton on the north end of the state. Home is where I enjoy being the most. If I leave, it is usually for something very important. To relax or to waste a few minutes, I gravitate to my piano. My favorite thing to do is to turn out the lights when I'm alone and play to my heart's content. This is one way I find ideas for music. Another place where I've gotten more than a few ideas is when I've been exercising, whether it's walking the trails of Alpine, or riding my road bike. I think about my life and the issues of the day while walking, and those moments frequently end with music rattling through my head. I have a husband, five children and twelve grandchildren - all of whom are the light of my life. I'd rather be with any one of them than just about anything. However, I do enjoy my solitude, which is probably why the hobby of writing music has been so appealing to me. My mother was my music teacher until she said I had outgrown her. I then took from a wonderful lady who helped shape me. Oh how I would love to have a sit-down visit with her. She probably knows me better than anyone, as she was there as I was in the process of becoming. I've been blessed with a husband who is the wind beneath my wings. He's made every possible sacrifice to encourage my music - whether just enjoying playing or writing. Were it not for his support, there is no way I could take it to the level where I can share it. The music on this site is music from my heart over the past 38+ years. It has been my solace through hard times and my joy through the good times. Much of it was "unsolicited" by me; it just came. Some of it has come through assignments or good people trusting me with their lyrics. All of it has been a miracle in my own eyes, as it was not something for which I was trained. My fingers somehow knew how to produce what was rattling through my head and by brute force it has found its way to paper. I hope you will enjoy it and let me know how you are using it. My website has much of what is here plus a lot of songs that do not fall into the "Sacred Music" genre. Feel free to visit it. I love suggestions and comments!
Song background:

This song came as a result of pondering one of my favorite hymns, "I Know That My Redeemer Lives".  It was certainly a phrase at a time, but came in bursts of inspiration as I pondered throughout my day. I'm so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ and his atoning power. This seemed like a natural way to express those feelings.

Thanks to my friend, Michelle Sundwall, for sharing her talent to bump it up a notch.  You may notice small changes from the sheet music. These changes came after I sang it myself in Fast and Testimony meeting. This is my testimony of Jesus Christ.

Lyrics: He lives! I know my Savior lives! <br/>Oh, the peace and joy this sentence gives. <br/>He lives to guide me with His love, <br/>As He advocates for me above. <br/>I know He hears and answers prayer. <br/>This is truth: I know of His kind care. <br/>He lives to grant me rich supply <br/>As He cares for me beneath his watchful eye. <br/>I know His love can cleanse from sin, <br/>If I invite Him in. <br/>He meets me in my darkest hour. <br/>I know for I have felt His power. <br/>He is my rock! He is my shield. <br/>I will trust in Him. I’ll give my will. <br/>He marks the path; prepares the way, <br/>Urging me to follow and obey. <br/>He lives! Redeemer of my soul. <br/>His sacrifice allows me to be whole. <br/>His life on earth showed me the way <br/>That thru my faith I'll live with Him one day. <br/>He lives, and while He lives I'll sing <br/>All my days, I'll give to Him and bring <br/>His love to those who've lost their way, <br/>That they'll want to live with Him again someday. <br/>
