Temples Lie Between Heaven and Earth

Temples lie between heaven and earth
To teach us of love and our eternal worth
As God's Holy House for education
One can glimpse, with hope, our liberation

Made of the finest things of the land
It's dedicated holy, thereon to stand
That just to be found upon its pure grounds
A sense of peace flows and grows and abounds

It's a beacon for all with eyes to see
To encourage lives born unto purity
May those who come upon it more than gaze
But, desire to be lifted up, as too their eye raise

Those who maintain a goal of worthiness
Can know a life filled with its holiness
Come be clothed in the purest bright white
And receive little specks of celestial light

We can become brighter until that perfect day
Where upon we'll hear our beloved Savior say....

Come, come inside. I'll share with you the rest
It will be radiant, of this I attest

This message is for the bride to be
Soon sealed to her betrothed for all eternity
May it be read to her by the man of her dreams
For he is truly more special than even now he seems
