The Eternal Debt of Gratitude

The gospel covenant
Is eternal unto God
A two way promise
Blessings come as we give our all

Prosperous blessings descend
And our heart felt prayers ascend
Such that the spirit is cleansed,
Renewed... again and again

“And behold, all that he requires of you is to keep his commandments; and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments ye should prosper in the land; and he never doth vary from that which he hath said; therefore, if ye do keep his commandments he doth bless you and prosper you.
“And now, in the first place, he hath created you, and granted unto you your lives, for which ye are indebted unto him.
“And secondly, he doth require that ye should do as he hath commanded you; for which if ye do, he doth immediately bless you; and therefore he hath paid you. And ye are still indebted unto him, and are, and will be, forever and ever.” (Mosiah 2:22–24.)
