Those who choose to do so can inquire
And know that God's words never cease
His holy words- Oh, how through desire
They inspire our hearts to increase
For through revelation's mandate
Inspired scriptures must unveil
If God's words did not update
The growth of mankind would soon fail
The plagues of Revelations
States we cannot add upon that book
Through well known investigations
We can prove the path those words took
The belief in closed canon
Would eliminate Jude
The three Epistles of John
And His Gospel, it too would exclude!
None were to corrrect this one volume
Where John wrote this last passage
With God we are not left to assume
For He's given us a Latter-Day vantage
Gone the contest of opinions
Man is not left to wander
And when we need to make decisions
Man knows he can read, pray, and ponder
There's a light upon us that shines
And we know that God does exist
He is living, vibrant, and divine
He's restored the gospel and does assist
He is the final authority
He gives constant flowing reminders
And we must pray to Him with humility
As it's only our lack of faith that hinders
May we continually sup
Through prophets with whom He now speaks
There's a well of water that's springing up
So we can drink deeply from words that never cease

"My Words... Never Cease"
Revelation 22:18
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Moses 1: 4
4 And, behold, thou art my son; wherefore look, and I will show thee the workmanship of mine hands; but not all, for my works are without end, and also my words, for they never cease.
And know that God's words never cease
