This year our Bishop challenged our whole ward (especially the Youth) to read the Book of Mormon at least twice this year. When I heard this song, I just had to share it with the others. What a strong message this song has, as it is a very touching song. Alofa atu to you three, and a hello all the way from Tonga.
They are all serving missions now... Uai is in Brazil, Adam is in Spain, and Ben is in New Zealand.... They sang this way before they were on their missions.
How Can I Be How can I be like my brother Nephi? And my father Lehi of old? How can I be like Captain Moroni In the wars that were told? How can I see forever Like the promise to the three Nephites? I wanna be Samuel the Lamanite I wanna be Benjamin the Wise I wanna be like Abinadi Oh tell me how can I be like them? How can I be like Alma the Younger, Strong servant of the Lord? How can I be like Mighty Ammon, Whose heart was his sword? How can I be a stripling warrior, And learn to fight by faith? I wanna be Samuel the Lamanite I wanna be Benjamin the Wise I wanna be like Abinadi Oh tell me how can I be like them? How can I be like my brother Joseph, When he prayed in the grove of trees? How can I have the strength that he had And the love he had for God? How can I be courageous And strive to choose the right? I wanna be Samuel the Lamanite I wanna be Benjamin the Wise I wanna be like Abinadi I wanna be like Jesus Christ Oh tell me how can I be like Him? Oh tell me how can I be like Him?
I love returning to this video when I need uplifting. This is a perfect song of encouragement. As you read through the Book of Mormon and are sad by the outcomes of our prophets, we need to be reminded that their rewards in heaven are great. Abinadi was burnt to death for all his work for the LORD. But in heaven he will stand forever known there and on earth for his courage.
I’ve been asked to sing this at boys camp this year, and I went and listened to it and I believe it’s a miracle from god that i listened to it on this day at this time. Thank you for posting this so long ago. I’ve sung and played ukulele for a long time, and never seen a more powerful song to play. Thank you Uai, Adam, and Ben.
Some missionaries played this for a couple other Marines and myself and I Pretty much used this song to get me the rest of the way through boot camp. Awesome song

Some things in life come for a reason... a song, a person, an opportunity... God takes care of us every damn day and I'm fuckin grateful for being here. Thank you very much. It feels really nice to revisit this song.
I just luv the fact that I was converted to the church and has helped me throughout my life by understanding his teachings and what he has done I just like to say Luv all those out there, CTR and proud to be a mormon, attending kahuku high & intermediate and to stay in church and strive to be perfect at all times and never back down........
Even if this Church was the slowest growing, I could never deny my testimony of it. Besides, when has the Gospel of Jesus Christ EVER been popular? Never. Because its the hardest thing to live... Yet, the most rewarding
at 9:30 i hope that my neighbors dont mind this...i have it turned all the way up and this is the 30th semod time for me listening to this!!! i love singing and i love hearing men sing and i love mormons sing! im so glad i was borne into a mormon family so i didnt have to go and quit all sorts of things! TY HEAVNLY FATHER!!!
I think the strumming goes like this by the way it’s fast, sort of confusing at first but you’ll get it when you listen to the song at the same time: Verse 1 Chorus Verse 2 Chorus Verse 3 Last Chorus Intro: {G} DDUDUD UDUD {D7} DDUDUD UD {G} DDUDUD UDUD {D7} DDUDUD Verse 1, 2 & 3: {G} {D6} {Em} DDUDUD U DDUDUD U DDUDUD U UDUDUDU {C} {D7} DDUDUD U UDUDU DDUDUD U UDUDU {2 Times} Chorus: {C} DDUDUD U UDUDU {D6} DDUDUD U UDUDU {C} {D6} DDUDUD U UDUDU {C} {D7} {G} {D6} DDUDUD U DDUDUD U DDUDUD U DDUDUD U- {Em} DDUDUD U UDUDU {C} {D7} DDUDUD U DDUDUD U UDUDU Last Chorus: {C} DDUDUD U UDUDU {D6} DDUDUD U UDUDU {C} DDUDUD U UDUDU {D6} DDUDUD U UD {C} {D7} {G} {D6} DDUDUD U DDUDUD U DDUDUD U DDUDUD U- {Em} DDUDUD U UDUDU {C} {D7} {G} {D6} DDUDUD U DDUDUD U DDUDUD U DDUDUD U {Em} {C} {D7} DDUDUD U DDUDUD U DDUDUD U UDUDU (Fingerpicking from last string up to first each chord) G - D6 - Em - C - D7
This is a great song, I wish more kids would learn from it, the mish is a great place with tons of experience that no one who truly served will ever trade it for the world.
It's true that we sing in church. We do learn about Jesus Christ and learn about the gospel. We believe that music is a good way to invite the spirit as well as for teaching. We don't necessarily have singing lessons but we do have choir practice for anyone who wants to join and perform every now and then. You are absolutely correct. We like to sing :)
I have this bookmarked and have listened to it countless times. Doesn't matter how many times I listen, I get a tear to my eye each time. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!
Great song!!! The scriptures are a great source of inspiration because they give true accounts of people who lived and kept their integrity and faith in spite of hardships. We can learn so much from them.
I thought I'd eat a meal and listen to some great music....so now I'm choking down my food and trying not to tear up. Oka, so not a good idea. Still love it.
wonderful, my husband and I decide to take ukulele lessons because we like this song so much! thanks guys! is helping me a lot to learn with you! you guys are the best! love it!
You guys sing it the BEST! LOVE IT! After listening to you guys...everyone just doesn't come close....but the message was always felt regardless! Beautiful voices!
Great song, great singing and playing. All now great missionaries. God Bless you all for making this video. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ smile upon you. this song warms my heart =) -Bro.Sauceda, Plattsburgh,NY Branch
They are fantastic singers!!! i love this song the missionaries in Hyde Park London England showed this to me the other day i haven't stopped watching it every time i'm on the computer XD
Wow!!! When I think I have heard the best of this song I find something like this and my heart is full of joy because of what you guys did to it! Thanks for such a nice rendition. It was amazingly well done! Thanks a million!!!!
Of all the versions of this song on TH-cam, this one is the best by far! You bring a strong feeling of the spirit to my heart. Thank you so much for sharing!

Anyone listening to this beautiful song in 2024??

I've been coming back to this video for 12 years.
Same!! ❤❤❤ Definitely a pick me up and Sunday morning necessity
Listening all the way from Korea. This song brings me peace and comfort.
My uncle wrote this song at his mission farewell.
Say hi to Nela for me he's awesome x
Is it possible to get in touch with him? We would love to produce a music video using LDS missionaries and would want his permission.
He’s on Facebook. I believe you can find his email address when you search his name and the title of the song.
Beautiful song brother.
Can I get the lyrics and notes

How do you know them?
I’m from Brazil ❤️

this is probably the only version that I listen to tears to my eyes
kelsey domingo
Some times I ask how can I be? It makes my cry and feel my heart on fire when I listen to this song.
How Can I Be
How can I be like my brother Nephi?
And my father Lehi of old?
How can I be like Captain Moroni
In the wars that were told?
How can I see forever
Like the promise to the three Nephites?
I wanna be Samuel the Lamanite
I wanna be Benjamin the Wise
I wanna be like Abinadi
Oh tell me how can I be like them?
How can I be like Alma the Younger,
Strong servant of the Lord?
How can I be like Mighty Ammon,
Whose heart was his sword?
How can I be a stripling warrior,
And learn to fight by faith?
I wanna be Samuel the Lamanite
I wanna be Benjamin the Wise
I wanna be like Abinadi
Oh tell me how can I be like them?
How can I be like my brother Joseph,
When he prayed in the grove of trees?
How can I have the strength that he had
And the love he had for God?
How can I be courageous
And strive to choose the right?
I wanna be Samuel the Lamanite
I wanna be Benjamin the Wise
I wanna be like Abinadi
I wanna be like Jesus Christ
Oh tell me how can I be like Him?
Oh tell me how can I be like Him?
Thank you!
Awesome

15 years latter and it’s still one of my favorite covers 🤍
These boys are seniors in high school. Adam has recieved his mission call for July to Spain.
Crazy how I’m still listening to this in 2023
Adam is on his mission in Spain, Ben is in New Zealand and Uai is waiting for his call any day.
I’ve been asked to sing this at boys camp this year, and I went and listened to it and I believe it’s a miracle from god that i listened to it on this day at this time. Thank you for posting this so long ago. I’ve sung and played ukulele for a long time, and never seen a more powerful song to play. Thank you Uai, Adam, and Ben.
this is probably one of the sweetest songs i've heard. i sent it to all my friends.
I played this in my seminary class today - love love love it!
These are truly the most powerful lyrics I ever heard.
Some missionaries played this for a couple other Marines and myself and I Pretty much used this song to get me the rest of the way through boot camp. Awesome song

I can't not smile like a fool, dance, and sing along while watching this song and I'm not even LDS.
this is one of the best songs i have ever heard

This song always helps me feel the spirit when I need it and this video specifically makes me love everything about the gospel!❤️
Even if this Church was the slowest growing, I could never deny my testimony of it. Besides, when has the Gospel of Jesus Christ EVER been popular? Never. Because its the hardest thing to live... Yet, the most rewarding
I will forever come back to this video
The 14 people who disliked this accidentally turned their computer upside down so they clicked that thumbs down instead of the thumbs up...
I LOVE this song I play this song for my son who is 6 months along....he kicks all the time when he hears it and I know he loves it too!

This is a very touching song. I heard at the first time when I was living in Laie. These three young men sang so beautifully. I really love it.
We still love this video and love to sing this song
This is a great song, I wish more kids would learn from it, the mish is a great place with tons of experience that no one who truly served will ever trade it for the world.
Mission or not we all can question "how can I be?" We are going to need this strength in the months/ years ahead. Gospel is true.
