From my own thoughts and notes
When we're teaching the Lord's Way
We are empowered with words to say
There is less anxiety and fear
As we've the Holy Ghost that is near
As we focus on others needs and learning
We gain a sense for what they are yearning
There is less pride, less need to impress
As our greatest desire is to share and to bless
When we surrender our agency unto God
We discover a confidence that is broad
We become a conduit for the holy spirit
Which channels warmth to those who come near it
This is what it means to be on the Lord's errand
Unto our divine commission experienced first hand
In word and in spirit we become an agent
To prepare the world for the Savior's advent
