#137 "Testimony"

I love the words and music to this hymn which is new to the 1985 LDS Hymnbook.  The author, Elder Loren C. Dunn of the Seventy, once came to our Hesperia Stake Conference when I was the Stake Music director.  (I purposely did NOT schedule his song for any of the meetings because I thought it would look like we were "kissing up".)  I remember him being a really tall man with a powerful testimony.  He used the phrase "I know" so many times (in the testimony that he bore at our stake conference) that it almost got uncomfortable.  However, I think the text of this hymn is perfect in its sentiment.
