Praise to the Man

First, let me qualify my response by saying that I grew up in the church and that I'm an active and faithful member.

While I've always enjoyed that tune (which has been around a LONG while), I have mixed feelings about the song "Praise to the Man". Back when I was a kid I thought it was about Jesus and I loved it, then one day it clicked in my head that the entire song was about Joseph Smith and it made me quite sad. I personally get the feeling that we as a church, but even more so the members themselves, tend to place way too much emphasis on Joseph Smith and not enough on the Savior - yes, even as some of our detractors say, almost to the point of worshiping him. That's just my observation.

But yes, that is a beautiful rendition, thanks for sharing :)
