Well, I'm sure President Packer would encourage anyone suffering from Coronavirus to think of their favorite hymn the way he did while dogfighting during WWII.
I'm sure President Monson would encourage you to go to the rescue of other Coronavirus sufferers... but he might do that while singing a favorite song from a musical instead of a hymn. Or maybe "O Divine Redeemer..."
And surely President Hinckley would encourage you to sing a little better, enunciate a little better, and project a little better.
But... actually cure Coronavirus?
Well, President Nelson might have something up his sleeve. I mean, when did we ever have a prophet who is both a world-famous doctor and is a piano-player with perfect pitch? And he was definitely "prophetic" about this coming General Conference being one to remember... it's already pretty epic even before starting, given the recent announcements.
Well, I'm really not sure a hymn CAN cure Coronavirus...
But I know a hymn that can definitely cure MURMURvirus, because every time I sing it, all my bad murmur-germs come bubbling up to the surface and seem to fade magically away.
It's hymn 219, "Because I Have Been Given Much."
I recently wrote a brand new arrangement of it and I'd love to share it with you, for free.
In return, I simply ask that you share it with your friends and family who might enjoy singing a new arrangement of this hymn.
Maybe it could cure your MURMURvirus too.
This week I've been running a little "giveaway" competition to help me infect as many people as possible with gratitude-itis.
The winner gets a brand new arrangement of any hymn they choose, composed by me.
But there are actually 3 prizes... but the competition ends THIS Sunday. So if you'd like to be in the running for the prizes, time is running out.
