What are We Without Light?



What are we without light?
Foolish and afraid
Prepare well for the night
We're to shine with faith

A Journey of Love

There's a path for each to take
Back to Father above
With covenants and prayers to make
It's a journey of love

Never Let GO

Never let go
Of why you're here:
To learn and grow
With light found near

Fan the Flame Within

Fan the flame within
That comes from Jesus Christ
Repent of every sin
Look up unto the light

The Atonement is Real

The atonement is real
It has power to heal
It will bring you to light
And add beauty in life


 

Vision

Come up with a vision-
A plan to begin
Then make the decision
To never give in

Take Life to the Next Level

Live life's next level
Closer to Christ
Little by little
Cleave unto light

Add Names and Faces

Add names and faces
To each prayer
God's love embraces
Those who share

Think of another
Give your heart
Grant lives due honor
Prayer's the start

I listened to a talk where we were asked to remember the missionaries and those who are seeking truth by name.  The Lord will us know them and touch our hearts to know how we can help.



 

The Reminder


You are a good person
With a fruitful past
You've promise and purpose
The bad will not last

It is good to remember all the good while life is testing.

I Want to Run

I want to run to the Savior
And feel mercy at His feet
I want to be in His favor
And find this memory sweet
 
I want to cry out to Him,  "Lord!"
And share my best, my worst
And repent, both of deed and word
For His love I ever thirst

The Line of Truth


The line of truth,
so straight and pure,
asks not for proof
to yet endure.

For it exists
As light and strength
That surely fits
With those who've faith

 

Jesus Said

Jesus said to those gathering close
Repent, believe, and be baptized
In my name receive the holy ghost
And heed it as your friend and guide

May Knowledge Pour

May knowledge pour down from HEAVEN above
Upon the Latter-Day Saints
As we seek God's mysteries, thereof
To know all His word explains
 
Doctrine and Covenants 121:33; 76:7-8,10.
Ah, if only we understood all the scriptures tell us.

Swimming in Emotions

Swimming in emotions
Till I could barely breathe
Waves crashed like explosions
Then, through prayer, I was relieved
 

Reborn in Pure Water

Reborn in pure water...
As one cleansed and prepared,
I feel it an honor
To share what's been declared.

The gospel is true
Our Savior does live
We've His works to do
His message to give


 

Wouldn't You Want to Be Baptized?

Wouldn't you want to be baptized
If you knew the church was true?
From the moment that you realized
Heaven had a place for you!

Keys

These keys will never rust
Nor would they to ever rest
Given to us in trust
When we use them, we are blessed

The Random Drift of Sleep

The random drift of sleep
Translates what's in my head.
Where what I've buried deep,
Can rise, though once unsaid.

sleep on it

With a smile on my face
And a prayer in my heart
My pillow I embrace
In hopes of a fresh start

The world is a better place
After a night of rest
The worst things slow down their pace
As each news does not test

Hope for a Better World

Hope for a better world
Filled with love and respect
Where the gospel is heard
Where hearts and minds connect

Hope for a Better World

Hope for a better world
With faith as your anchor
Believe your prayers are heard
That you have a Savior

Stop Looking for Stumps

Stop looking for stumps...
The next resting spot
Be the one who jumps
Give life all you've got
 

Have Confidence in God


Have confidence in God
He knows you and He loves you
Pray to Him with your all
He will help you think things through
 

The Sabbath is Set Apart

The Sabbath is set apart
As a day of rest and prayer
To think and feel from the heart
To give thanks and know God's care

Christmas is a Day for Family

Christmas is a day for family
For souls to come unto Christ
To turn to our children, happily
And put magic in their eyes

Christmas is a Time for Remembering

Christmas is a time for remembering
His message of good will
In man's affairs God is governing
And He is with us still

The Sabbath Day


May peace and goodwill
Distill upon this Earth
May Christ's day be tranquil
As a day of rebirth

To Lower Oneself

To lower oneself
To sin's dust and silt
Is to crawl through hell
And promises guilt

No one is above
Getting tripped up
Repent, reach for love
And with the Lord, sup

Every Good Gift

Every good gift
Comes from above
To share, uplift,
And send God's love

Settled

Unsettled dust
Blurs the vision
With filmy crust
There's delusion

Let feelings settle
To reality
Emotions mettle
True clarity

I am having a hard time teaching - I lost my Kindergarten partner.  I am thankful for a long weekend to let my frustrations settle.

Last to Bed

Last to bed
And first to rise
Is it bad
To sacrifice?

Picture the Savior Near

Picture the Savior near,
Bathed in glorious light,
Offering to you His ear....
Then, pray with all your might

Give Prayer All You've Got

Do not cease
To call upon God
Offer pleas
Give it all you've got


In Heaven - Friends

We will see each other again
And strike up times to recall
Of how to each we were a friend
Through the good, the bad, and all

Cling

Our heritage in the gospel
Is a precious thing
For great things are possible
When to faith we cling

It Makes our Hearts Smile

It makes our hearts smile
When we do something good
And share, all the while
Our love and gratitude


Tragedy and Conflict

Tragedy and conflict
Tends to soften hearts
To service, we connect
And charity imparts


Ye Have Done it Unto Me


The Son of Man will come again
And all His angels with Him
He'll gather up at His right hand
His sheep, whom He'll welcome in

Come Soften Your Heart


Come, soften your heart
To the gospel truths
We each have a part
In God's family, roots

His standards are clear
For moral conduct:
His children to rear,
Nurture, and instruct


Look on a newborn
Yes, the veil is still thin
Purity in form...
We've His spirit within

Heaven is... family
 Virtue- pure love
Marriage- sanctity
With God, above



We invite you to pray that people everywhere will have their hearts softened to the truths of the gospel, and that wisdom will be granted to those who are called upon to decide issues critical to society’s future.

The Greatest Gift

To you on your wedding day
I wish for you- space to grow
That great blessings come your way
Through simple pleasures to know

Habits

It is not a sacrifice
To have worthy habits
To obey our Savior, Christ
Knowing where it lands us

The Ultimate Goal

The ultimate goal
in the grand scheme of things 
Is to fill the soul
With what the spirit brings

The talents we hold
Are great gifts from the Lord
They bloom and unfold
As we heed His sure Word

For, many are called
To become something more
As children of God
We have great things in store

Walk Away from the Edge

Walk away from the edge
To where God's word is heard
Have moral courage
And come out of this world


I have been enjoying the hymn does the journey seem long ?  I found out that it was written by Joseph fielding Smith. In the intro to his life it talks about how he wrote it. It is very sweet story. He really loved his wife and was a romantic man.
