Twice in Alma 5, Alma mentions ‘singing the song of redeeming love’ (verses 9, 26).

Whether or not Alma sang in the Zarahemla Tabernacle choir, he did know what it meant to sing as his soul sang with joy and goodness on many occaisons.

But what about our lives? Maybe we praise God, not just in singing, but in how we live. Choir directors will instruct their choir to sing the songs so that our testimonies shine through. Choir members sing their testimony, not only in their musical presentation but in their lives.

There was a young girl many years ago who was involved in a high school speech contest. For those not attending the contest, later that day she gave a second rendition of her perfectly memorized speech all about avoiding pre-marital relations. She proceeded to laugh about how she did not really believe that message but that she was able to convince the judges she did. She, unfortunately, did not live her life true to the ‘testimony/speech’ she bore that day.

Alma, though, lived the life, walked the walk and dedicated his life to those things he testified of. Even later, in his recounting of his conversion to his son Helaman (Alma 36:22), he spoke again of angels singing and praising their God and longing to be with them. He wanted to be in the choir!!! Was that the ‘song of redeeming love’ he referred to in Chapter 5?

Do we “Sing the Song of Redeeming Love” each day in our lives by the way we live?
