Writing Hymns from the Words of Prophets: President David B. Larsen
David Larsen never imagined that he would write hundreds of hymns with one of the most prolific composers in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But he was inspired by a simple question from Janice Kapp Perry, and for more than 20 years now, the two have collaborated to write hymns based on talks by church leaders. Larsen currently serves as president of the Dallas East Stake and has shared his hymns with members of his stake on a weekly basis during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode of Lone Star Latter-day Saint Voices, President Larsen shares how he began writing hymns and where he finds his inspiration.
