This short and sweet hymn Testimony (archives) is one of the songs on the list to teach as part of the Book of Mormon Songs for Primary list this year. It’s only included this one year, so I encourage you to spend a little time with this song this year, if you have the chance.
While it’s on the song list for June, it could also make a great song to spend a few weeks with after your Primary Program when you can explore a variety of different songs without feeling the pressure of time. You’ll love all these Testimony singing time ideas to help you teach this song in unique and fun ways.
