LightofChrist02's video: Gift of our Lives Be Thou An Example

This song is one of my favorite songs from the 2009 EFY CD. Be Thou An Example is the 2009 theme for the youth this year, and I think that it is a wonderful theme! I have heard so many stories about how an example brought people to the church. One of my counclers for EFY was a convert to the church. He came to be a member because of the way his friends lived. He never knew that they were LDS, but he liked the way they lived. They always seemed to be happy, even if they were not doing the "popular" stuff. One day he moved and he met another Latter Day Saint. They became friends, and he did not know that he was LDS. One day this friend invited him to church and he really started to like it. One day he went to a stake activity and there were his old LDS friends that he had moved away from. This is one of the many stories that I have heard. Be An Example in everything that you do. "... Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirt, in faith, in purity." - 1st Timothy 4:12 Words: Chorus- We're givin' the gift of our lives There's a map to lift- shine the light And everyone will want to know Him When they look into our eyes I will make this gift I give- the way that I live Brothers of stength And daughters of destiny The stongest of all God's chi8lden, we'll promise to be I'll keep m faith Yes and I'll watch and pray Knowing we've been chosen fo this day We're givin' the gift of our lives There's a map to lift- shine the light And everyone will want to know Him When they look into our eyes I will make this gift I give- the way that I live We have a song And we're not afraid to sing We'll stand up and raise our voices- for our Heavenly King I'll speak his truth Letting my light shine through We can show the way by what we do We'll be an example of the believers In every word we say In conversation, cjarity and in Spirit and purity always We're givin' the gift of our lives There's a map to lift- shine the light And everyone will want to know Him When they look into our eyes I will make this gift I give- the way that I live
