I Am Many Things to the Lord

I am as a rock unpolished and coarse.
And, I fall and tumble while I'm on my course.
The descent is steep, what am I to do?
Rough edges break off, I'll soon be made smooth.
There is a straight path, here now I must stay.
I know where to roll, it's the narrow way.
1 Nephi 21:2

I am as a bride- My Lord is the groom.
And as the date nears- I've oil in my room.
My prepared lamp burns, in the darkest night.
As I add more oil- one drop at a time.
The grooms paid my debt, and He's done much more!
We'll soon be married- that's what I live for.

I am as a lamb- cared for in His flock.
When I go astray, I've not far to walk.
I miss my Shepherd and I heed his call.
I'm known by His name, though I'm stained and small.
When the clouds darken and a storm descends,
My Shepherd saves me- to safety He sends.
