Elder Bednar Authors New Hymn Based on 3 Nephi

Paul Cardall recently released a collaboration video with Nathan Pacheco and the Lyceum Philharmonic Orchestra debuting the song “One by One”, the words of which were penned by LDS Apostle David A. Bednar. Paul is a Steinway & Sons sponsored pianist and a two-time No. 1 Billboard artist with seven other recordings that debuted on Billboard’s top 10 New Age chart.  CaardallWo comments “Seven years ago today I left the hospital after God spared my life by giving me a donor heart during a complex open heart transplant surgery. I am A New Creation. You are a New Creation. One by one, our lives are changed by our experiences and by the interaction we have with each other. With all of the anger in our society I hope my music and this video performance will help you feel love, peace, hope, and goodness…

 

Words to this wonderful song are:

 

1. One by one, one by one. Jesus, the Father’s Beloved Son—

One by one, one by one—From the beginning said, “Thy will be done.”

Jesus Christ came to earth to fulfill God’s plan, For He alone could atone as Savior of man.

The Lord blessed and beckoned them, “Come unto me,” And willingly sacrificed to set us free.

One by one, one by one. He suffered for us and victory won.

One by one, one by one. We marvel at all His love has done, One by one.

 

2. One by one, one by one. Multitudes gathered and saw Him come.

One by one, one by one. Each heard a voice declare, “Behold My Son.”

Jesus Christ came and stood in the midst of them. They fell to the earth in great rev’rence for Him.

The Lord bid, “Arise, and come forth unto me.” With hands they did feel and with eyes they did see.

One by one, one by one. Each knew and bore record, He is our Lord.

One by one, one by one. They cried “Hosanna” with one accord, One by one.

 

3. One by one, one by one. Christ looked around Him and saw their tears.

One by one, one by one. In His compassion, He calmed their fears.

Jesus Christ healed each one brought forth unto Him. Then He blessed each precious child and prayed for them.

The angels descended from heaven above,Encircling those little ones; each felt His love.

One by one, one by one. He intercedes for each daughter and son.

One by one, one by one. Strength from His grace gives us pow’r to become ,One by one.
