For my scripture study today, I was studying the different accounts of God witnessing of His Son, Jesus Christ.
I realized that the Primary Song “This is My Beloved Son” didn’t have a verse for the Transfiguration on the Mount (Matthew 17:1-13; 2 Peter 1:16-18). So, I made one!
It’s probably not the best (and if anyone wants to give it another shot, please do). I tried to keep the language simple, yet drawn from the scriptures. I also kept it to the same number of syllables (8-7-8) and the same rhythm in each line. I tried not to reuse similar phrases from other verses, while still being consistent with their narrative structure.
When transfigured on the mountain,
Christ brought Peter, James, and John.
He was honored by the Father:
“This is my Beloved Son.
Hear Him!”
