Declare this intention-
"Of myself, I'll share!"
Apply introspection
And vow this in prayer:
"Lord, what wilt thou have me do?
Who can I help in need?
Strengthen me to follow through-
Thy spirit to heed."
Touching each thought and deed
One thought should penetrate-
"Lord, here I am. Lead!"
As to Him we consecrate.
I was touched by President Benson quoting President Packer.

Always I want to be good
And stand up for Jesus Christ,
To live my life, as He would
With His Spirit as my light.

The constant and most recurring question in our minds, touching every thought and deed of our lives, should be, “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” (Acts 9:6.) The answer to that question comes only through the Light of Christ and the Holy Ghost. Fortunate are those who so live that their being is filled with both.
Christ’s great gift to us was His life and sacrifice. Should that not then be our small gift to Him—our lives and sacrifices, not only now but in the future? A few years ago my colleague Elder Boyd K. Packer said this: “I’m not ashamed to say that … I want to be good. And I’ve found in my life that it has been critically important [to establish this intention] between me and the Lord so that I knew that he knew which way I committed my agency. I went before Him and said, ‘I’m not neutral, and you can do with me what you want. If you need my vote, it’s there. I don’t care what you do with me, and you don’t have to take anything from me because I give it to you—everything, all I own, all I am—,’ and that makes the difference.” (“To Those Who Teach in Troubled Times,” address delivered at seminary and institute conference, Summer 1970, Salt Lake City.)
Always I want to be good
And stand up for Jesus Christ,
To live my life, as He would
With His Spirit as my light.
