History:
This song was written after I was assigned to speak on Easter Sunday. After being given the assignment I went to the Primary Songbook (it's probably my favorite book) with the idea of beginning my talk through songs found there. I wasn't very satisfied with the compilation of Easter songs. After the assignment was over and we had moved, I had the persistent thought that there should be a song - for children - describing Easter. Particularly the difference between life everlasting and Salvation. After several months of having this thought, I prayed. Prayer seems to be a very consistent theme here. Looking back I am wondering why it took me several months before I actual did pray. So after I prayed, the words to this song filled my mind in a matter of minutes. The melody to this song came later, again after prayer, but the entire process of writing this down took only three days.

I'm grateful for this song. I have used it to teach my boys of the gifts that the Atonement of Christ brings to us and to all mankind. I am grateful for it's reminder.
