Because
He Loves Me Too by Jon McNaughton
Jesus Christ died that we might live. He allowed Himself to be taken captive, so that we might be free. He bowed beneath all things so that He could lift us up. That’s what the song Because is about. “Because He gave to me everything He had to give, I breathe, I see, I hope, I love, I live.

I wrote Do You Have Room? as a Christmas gift for my family, after reading these inspired words by Thomas S. Monson:
In these busy days there are many who have time for golf, time for shopping, time for work, time for play—but no time for Christ. Lovely homes dot the land and provide rooms for eating, rooms for sleeping, playrooms, sewing rooms, television rooms, but no room for Christ. No room. Ever has it been.
I sang it to my family on Christmas Eve, then filed it away in my music drawer and forgot about it. It might still be there, if it weren’t for my Dad, who regularly asked me, “Have you done anything with that song?”

“And now the truth is etched forever in my heart, and burned forever in my soul.”
Listen to Forever in My Soul
This is a song of grief, but also a song of hope. I wrote it for my friends, Boyd and Tamara, who lost a daughter in the prime of her life. The message of the song is this: In our greatest moments of pain, we turn to Him, and in turn, He comforts and lifts us, and increases our faith.
“Somehow, joy will always come. Surely, like the morning sun….”This recording is sung by Autumn Jones.
