A Testimony...Truly

A testimony... truly
Flows through our minds and hearts
As we profess truths... duly
The Holy Ghost confirms and imparts

Why admonish and exhort
When we've been given words
Why present like a report
When the gospel's spiritually heard


The Holy Ghost Will Verify Your Words

“A testimony is what we know to be true in our minds and in our hearts by the witness of the Holy Ghost (see D&C 8:2). As we profess truth rather than admonish, exhort, or simply share interesting experiences, we invite the Holy Ghost to confirm the verity of our words. The power of pure testimony (see Alma 4:19) does not come from sophisticated language or effective presentation; rather, it is the result of revelation conveyed by the third member of the Godhead, even the Holy Ghost.”
David A. Bednar, “More Diligent and Concerned at Home,” Ensign, Nov. 2009, 19
