Story behind this video:
Hello everyone! Thank you for stopping by and watching this video today. I am Reese’s mom, Suzy.
I was deeply moved the first time I heard this song, “I Know That My Savior Loves Me.“ I knew immediately that Reese and I needed to make a music video of this song.
I reached out to the songwriter, Tami Creamer, in late 2016 to get her permission for our video. Although she readily gave her permission, I hesitated on the project due to lack of funding and the time commitment necessary to execute a project of this size.
A little over two weeks ago, I had many promptings to bring this video to life. After talking to Masa (arranger) and Tami (composer), we finally put the wheels in motion to create this video. Everyone pitched went door-to-door selling artwork to help raise the funds necessary for the audio production and costumes. My husband sacrificed our family time during spring break so I could figure out the wardrobe and scout out locations.
Within a week, Masa had arranged the song. We brought in a few One Voice Children’s Choir children to help with the audio recording. Masa created and taught the harmonies “on the spot“ in the recording studio. It was marvelous to see his inspiration at work, and to see the children follow along.
David Smith, our amazing actor who portrayed Jesus for us in “Gethsemane,“ came back to help us during an early morning. Additionally, the amazing Sorensen family agreed to have all of their beautiful daughters: Kasia, Kindia, Leilia and Daisy; each of them adopted from around the globe, featured as the girls surrounding Jesus. (The boys featured are Reese’s brothers, Carson and Weston.)
Given the fact that we had a very small window to create the video, our only day to film with the choir children was on Monday, April 10. Two days before video recording, Utah County was hit with a snow storm! I asked everyone involved in the video to please pray for sunshine. The heavens were opened and it was a glorious, beautiful day.
I hope this song and video will touch your heart. There have been times in my life where I have felt lost, confused, and scared. When I hear this song, my heart feels hope. Hope of our Savior and all of His promises.
Thank you for supporting our video!
Love,
Suzy

LYRICS:
A long time ago in a beautiful place,
Children were gathered ’round Jesus.
He blessed and taught as they felt of His love.
Each saw the tears on His face.
The love that He felt for His little ones
I know He feels for me.
I did not touch Him or sit on His knee,
Yet, Jesus is real to me.
I know He lives!
I will follow faithfully.
My heart I give to Him.
I know that my Savior loves me.
Now I am here in a beautiful place,
Learning the teachings of Jesus.
Parents and teachers will help guide the way,
Lighting my path ev’ry day.
Wrapped in the arms of my Savior’s love,
I feel His gentle touch.
Living each day, I will follow His way,
Home to my Father above.
