Knowledge is Power

Knowledge is power

In the world today

As the fullness of light does shower

Towards the dawning of a brighter day

From all that we learn

And from our talents

We can bless and help others in turn

As learning and teaching does balance

The best known resource

For truth of all kinds

Is when the Holy Ghost guides our course

And spiritual promptings light our minds

Once a thought is lit

Our senses expand

And for our eternal benefit

God's true principles we more understand

Whatever we seek

We see, hear, and feel

As we pray for promptings and are meek

The precious impressions come to avail

With paper and pen

In a secure place

As though a new path of light burst open

We write things that come before our face

We've laws to obey

To gain this wisdom

But by faith, repentance, and prayer each day

The sweet whisperings of the spirit will come
