Jesus Christ the Master and Publisher of Peace

Jesus Christ the Master and publisher of peace
Can soothe the soul caught in the rising sea
He can command and cause pride's waves to cease
Such that humbly in faith I knew I must plea

The turmoil around like a storm had swirled
And nearly drowned me in sin and doubt
Ever engulfed in the ways of the world
I truly questioned what life was about

Then amidst distracting clamor
That troubled my heart and mind
I heard something that opened a door
Unto a better world there to find

“Hold to the rod, and never let go”
A voice gently inside me did say
“For there lays the true path to follow
As you continually search and pray”

Now I've found where hearts cannot fail nor harden
Where our living God’s word is life's missing detail
For He has placed me inside a brightened garden
Where I can move forward, learn, and prevail

And, although calamity still descends
The Holy Ghost is a warning device found in place
That guides, instructs, and ever strengthens
Me and faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
