In 2012, while Kieth and I were working with our Young Single Adults (YSA - ages 18 to 31), I got the feeling that several of them were struggling, trying to find their way. I sensed they may be asking themselves some of the questions many of us have asked:
Who am I, really? What is my purpose in life?
What do I really believe? What about God?
Is He real? Does He care? How can I know?
In August at Stake Conference, Pres. Doug Wilcox (our Stake President) was talking about our Savior and how He never pushed us away, but always invited us to "Come."
Pres. Wilcox used the scriptures to show where Jesus had said: "Come learn of me, " "Come follow me," and "Come unto me." His words touched me deeply and I could see answers to the above questions contained in these three phrases. I pondered on this for some time and then the lyrics for the song "Come" was written over a couple of days and completed September 2, 2012.
(Sorry for this midi .mp3 - it makes it seem like this song has no feeling, pauses or slowing of any kind. I hope to do a better recording, but for now this will give you an idea of how it sounds.)
