If "Alma the Younger" had a song

I think this song by Aaron Shust perfectly portrays the character of Alma the Younger. What do you think?

You can listen on You Tube HERE, or read the lyrics below:

Lyrics from When Everything is Beautiful by Aaron Shust.

verse 1:

take my ashes take my dirt, and clay
take my pride and strip it off, away
take my mourning take my doubt, and fear
say the words i long to hear

chorus:

though your sins were as scarlet
they will be as white as snow
though they were red,
red as crimson
they will be like wool
when everything is beautiful

verse 2:


everything i tried to hide,
all the games I've been playing
every secret every lie,
all the shame I've been claiming
come and whisper in my ear,
say the words i long to hear

chorus:

though your sins were as scarlet
they will be as white as snow
though they were red,
red as crimson
they will be like wool
when everything is beautiful

bridge:

I'm alive with a hope of a bran' new day,
woa oh woa
I'm alive with a hope of a bran' new day

chorus:

ohh... though your sins were as scarlet
they've become as white as snow
though they were red,
red as crimson
they've become like wool

though your sins were as scarlet
they've become as white as snow
though they were red,
red as crimson
they've become like wool

and everything is beautiful...
everything is beautiful

That is simply beautiful. I'm heading to listen to it with music now.
