Utah- This is the Place!

Sorry for those of you that do not currently reside in Utah....hopefully you have a warm spot for Utah in your hearts.

We love UTAH!!! This is THE PLACE!!!




In 4th grade the kids learn their Utah history. This year Amy's fourth grade classes put on a little Utah Program and it was fantastic! Made up of all songs that gave the history of Utah. Unfortunetly, we had some audio issues, but here is the link to the song.

I always get teary when I hear/sing the "National Anthem" and "Spirit of God" and now I can add "Utah- This Is The Place" to my teary list. This song touches my heart.

State Song Since 2003

Utah! People working together
Utah! What a great place to be.
Blessed from Heaven above.
It's the land that we love.
This is the place!

Utah! With its mountains and valleys.
Utah! With its canyons and streams.
You can go anywhere.
But there's none that compare.
This is the place!

It was Brigham Young who led the pioneers across the plains.
They suffered with the trials they had to face.
With faith they kept on going till they reached the Great Salt Lake
Here they heard the words..."THIS IS THE PLACE!"

Utah! With its focus on family,
Utah! Helps each child to succeed.
People care how they live.
Each has so much to give.
This is the place!

Utah! Getting bigger and better.
Utah! Always leading the way.
New technology's here...
Growing faster each year.
This is the place!

There is beauty in the snow-capped mountains, in the lakes and streams.
There are valleys filled with farms and orchards too.
The spirit of its people shows in everything they do.
Utah is the place where dreams come true.

Utah! With its pioneer spirit.
Utah! What a great legacy!
Blessed from Heaven above.
It's the land that we love.
This is the place

Utah! Utah! Utah!
THIS IS THE PLACE!
