In our world there have risen brilliant stars
Bursting from all the fields of excellence
One day our members will exceed others by far
As the world increases in divergence
Zion, one day, will be praised on earth
Kings will come to gaze upon her glory
To hear songs of Christ, as too new arts give birth
Which depict the greatest events in history
Who's obsessed enough for this worthy goal?
To tell each story with love and pathos
Imagine these masterpieces in perfection
Bringing the gospel to life with passion...
Our own talent, obsessed with dynamism from a worthy goal, could put into such a story life and heartbeats and emotions and love and pathos, drama, suffering, fear, courage; and they could put into it the great leader, the mighty modern Moses who led a people farther than from Egypt to Jericho, who knew miracles as great as the stream from the rock at Horeb, manna in the desert, giant grapes, rain when needed, battles won against great odds.
-Spencer W. Kimball
