Power of the Lamb is a musical
celebration of the power of faith in Jesus Christ in our lives.

Power of the Lamb celebrates the “power of the lamb of God” (1 Nephi 14:14) as experienced by early church members as they witnessed the restoration of the Gospel. The audience will walk with those early members on their journey from the first vision to crossing the plains and arriving in the Salt Lake Valley 175 years ago July, 2022.  

The program helps us discover the source of their spiritual power, the power we can access in our own personal lives. As we “offer our whole souls” to Jesus Christ, He gives us power to “overcome the world” and “become saints.” It is the “power of the lamb of God” that will “descend upon” us and sustain us in the coming challenges leading up to our Savior’s coming.  

Woven through the program is a focus on the Doctrine of Christ, and principles from the following talks by our prophet ( see below), President Russel M. Nelson: “ Christ is Risen; Faith in Him Will Move Mountains,” “ The Power of Spiritual Momentum,” “ Pure Truth, Pure Doctrine, Pure Revelation,” and “ Overcome the World and Find Rest.”

What Inspired the Music?

While there were many sources of inspiration for the music of Power of the Lamb, the addresses below from General Conference sessions of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints had specific meaning. Below each video, we note which songs from the program were inspired by that message. Watch these messages from modern day prophets to feel your own inspiration!
