Nephi Prayed

Nephi prayed continually by day
And his eyes watered his pillow by night
Oft he thought of those who would not pray
For they'd not keep Christ in their thoughts and sight

And He gloried in plainness
He gloried in the truth
He gloried in "my" Jesus
Who'd preserved him since his youth

Nephi hoped to speak as the angels
And to help those who left the narrow path
When he wrote, he oft made parallels
With examples of God's power and wrath

And He gloried in plainness
He gloried in the truth
He gloried in "my" Jesus
Who'd preserved him since his youth
- 2 Nephi 33:3

3 But I, Nephi, have written what I have written,
and I esteem it as of great worth, and especially
unto my people. For I pray continually for them
by day, and mine eyes water my pillow by night,
because of them; and I cry unto my God in faith,
and I know that he will hear my cry.
