Feed My Lambs

In Galilee, our dear resurrected Lord,
Prepared a meal and waited in the dawn.
As the disciples drew near to the shore,
He called out where to cast their nets upon.

And, when their nets more than filled, how they rushed.
It was their Lord who stood by with a hot meal!
He taught them how to feed, that love is a must.
For, when lambs are fed, God's Light warms and fills.

In the Latter Days we are known as well as numbered.
And the Lord's tenderest lambs, are within reach.
We can help them feel and know they are remembered.
Through faithfulness we've the capacity to teach.

As new lambs enter the baptismal waters,
Our Lord prepares a meal for us and waits.
For when we are nourished with words from our Father.
We are able to strengthen those in need of faith.

We can and must nourish with all our hearts.
To show our gratitude for the Lord's meal.
For unto all, He grants- and His love imparts.
As through care, the tender lamb's hearts are filled.

That, when the storms beat down upon the last days.
We will not get lost in the darkness and whirlwinds.
The Shepherd's flock can gather, each in their place.
As the power of heaven pours as the sword descends. 2 Ne. 26: 5

2 Ne. 26: 5
5 And they that kill the prophets, and the saints
the depths of the earth shall swallow them up,
saith the Lord of Hosts; and mountains shall cover
them, and whirlwinds shall carry them away, and
buildings shall fall upon them and crush them to
pieces and grind them to powder.
