We Cannot Save the Air We Breathe- So Too We Can't Save Light

We cannot save the air we breathe
From the world we can't be sheathed
So too, we cannot save daylight
As daily we must face the night

Without faith, we stumble along
And do many things that are wrong
The adversary would to come in
And make us stagger,drunk in sin

Evil is never far away
And wants for us darkness night and day
From the narrow path, it's any corner
And, we're often found the mourner

The light of the spirit can fade
If we don't stay engaged
Alone, the strength we lack
Darkness must be pushed back

A generator on a bike
Through effort can light the night
As too, the gospel is applied
God's holy spirit is supplied

As the Holy Ghost is received
It helps us to not be deceived
The more we search, ponder, and pray
We'll become bright for that perfect day

Elder Robert D. Hales
"Out of Darkness into
His Marvelous Light"
Ensign, May 2002
