I needed this right now.. I've been depressed for half my life (I'm 16 now) and had many suicidal thoughts. But thanks to all that, despite being inactive for three years, it has brought me closer to Christ, strengthened my testimony of the Restored Gospel and I decided I want to go on a full-time mission! Proud to be a Mormon and yes, it's good to be alive :)
chiara I love hearing people story's of how they found the gospel to help. you are amazing and you have incredible faith expressly with deciding to go on a mission. I hope you luck and keep your light shining
Being born into a Mormon family and experiencing tragic situations I have grown closer to the gospel and I have grown my testimony and it will help me to realize God has a plan for me and everyone in this world.
All of the false videos about Mormons are dragging me down today but I watched this and it reminded me of why I am Mormon and why I should stay faithful. Thank you!
I haven't done the best job with reading the scriptures, praying to my Heavenly Father, or being kind go my 6 year old sister. I know what I have to do, but I just didn't do it. I didn't have the motivation and that didn't help me grow closer to Heavenly Father or the church. But my friend wanted me listen to this song and when I did, I felt the spirit so strong. I've started listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and felt peace and comfort listening to the hymns. I've started the book of Mormon again and have started praying and repenting again. I've never felt the spirit so strong and I thank my best friend (who is LDS too) because of her and this beautiful song, I'm back on track and know what I have to do to stay on the right path and hold on to the iron rod. Thank you for this beautiful song! ❤
how could anyone possibly dislike this video? it is absolutely precious. thank you Regan. You are truly beautiful, and your music has uplifted my soul ^.^
Sadie Christensen Sometimes PEOPLE are afraid of things they don't understand, if they only knew just how wonderful the church is ,and the love from our HEAVENLY FATHER Are, a true joy and a blessing!!🍭🎂🍰🎂🍭🎂🍰
I agree with you 100 percent this video is amazing and beautiful and I've been watching it ever since 2015 and I posted this in 2018 I love how positive Reagan is.she is beautiful and I loved this video.this is my favorite song now.I'm sitting down after a stressful listening to this song with a stress ball realising that it isn't the stress ball making my day less stressful.it's the song.bless Regan for the wonderful changes she's made in many lives.
I look up at the stars at night and watch them as they glow. I see the moon up in the sky and feel like I am home. All the beauty all around gets me ev’ry time, And I feel so grateful in my heart. It’s good to be alive. Surrounded by the ones I love, it’s like nothing could go wrong. Here with my family and my friends, I’m right where I belong. All the people in my world make the sun more bright, And I feel so grateful in my heart. It’s good to be alive. Though there are times that try my faith and bring me to my knees, No matter what, whatever I’ve got is exactly what I need. So I count my blessings one by one, and I can’t help but smile, ’Cause I’ve had help along the way with ev’ry single mile. And I know that it only gets better as I look to the sky, And I feel so grateful in my heart. It’s good to be alive. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. And though there are times that try my faith and bring me to my knees, No matter what, whatever I’ve got is exactly what I need. So I count my blessings one by one, and I can’t help but smile, ’Cause I’ve had help along the way with ev’ry single mile. And I know that it only gets better as I look to the sky, And I feel so grateful in my heart. It’s good to be alive. And I feel so grateful in my heart. It’s good to be alive.

"And I count my blessings one by one" . so we could recognize how blessed we are. "It's Good to be Alive" :D
"I feel so grateful in my heart. It's good to be alive."
To live is Christ, to die is gain. (Phil 1:21)
