I tried out to sing with them a few years ago when my voice was a lot younger and better. I didn't make it through the first cut. It would have been nice to sing with them; to go on tours; and to feel of their wonderful spirits. Also, my cousin was a member of the choir at that time. It would have been fun to have that experience with her. But, it wasn't to be.
But, I do sing with the choir! Every chance I get. When I go on my walks in the morning, I almost always have a song of theirs in my head. This morning, it was "Homeward Bound". A few days ago, it was "Hold On". Every song that I sing with them helps me in some way. They all lift my spirits and help me to have a better day than I otherwise would have had.
I also sing with BYU's Vocal Point, Afterglow and even Michael Bublé, The Carpenters and many others. But, it is the Tabernacle Choir that lifts and helps me to feel closer to my Heavenly Father. Music is my balm of Gilead.
