If you followed Idol this year, I think you will enjoy this. It was really great to be able to follow two LDS singers (David A and Brooke) and even more to see them be good examples while sharing their talents. Shortly after the show ended, David A sang for a LDS youth fireside. I thought that was such an example of his character. Sing on the stage for millions, and sing from the pulpit for a few. Really cool kid.
Here are the lyrics to the song:
Be still, my soul, the Lord is on thy side.
With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide,
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul, thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul, thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as he has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake.
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul, the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
Be still, my soul, the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul, when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
Music by Jean Sibelius, 1899
(Originally Composed as Finlandia)
Lyrics by Katharina von Schlegel, 1752

This is incredible! I might steal it for my blog as well!
Beautiful. Thank You Melanie.
That is so cool. I just love that kid! Thanks for sharing, how did you find it?
a friend of mine sent it to me in an email. i'm trying to figure out where in the church building he was singing. It looks like the chapel pulpit, but that picture in the background makes me think he's in a youth room. oh well, not that it matters! i just love that song and he did it so amazing.
