Elders Caden Gifford and Jake Richards, missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recorded a spiritual rendition of “Stand By Me” by Ben E King.
It’s a song we all know, but hearing the words sung in the context of a relationship with Christ was a powerful moment for me.
Here are some interesting notes about the song Stand By Me that you might not know:
- There have been over 400 recorded versions of the song
- In 2012 it was estimated that the song’s royalties had topped $22.8 million
- Psalm 46:2 was the inspiration for some of the words Ben E King added to the song
- The song was also based on an early 20th-century gospel hymn by Charles Albert Tindley
