Joseph Smith made a deep connection
Never did more power impart
As he read each word in new reflection
Reading from James 1: 5-6
He came to a mighty conclusion
That he must do as each word directs
Or feel darkness, lost in confusion
If any of us lack wisdom
Then we must ask of God while in prayer
The best source where all truth is from
We can know that of us, He's aware
We yield our minds to new insights
As we pour out what we have pondered
And the Holy Spirit highlights
With a confirmation that's rendered
Wickedness never was happiness
With each action, there's consequence
What we have gleaned from righteousness
We must record without hesitance
Within our hearts, we must maintain
Powerful teachings that guide our day
Blessings that we want to obtain
Come from obedience and our faith
My thoughts from
Yielding Our Hearts to God
