Our Savior didn't just dip His toes
Into the seas of human experience
Total immersion, He willingly chose
Pain, love, and joy expressed in full variance
That each scintilla of our lives, He knows
That time we thought our anxious heart
Would fail us in our worst time of struggle
He knows how relationships scar
He knows His love helps us in trouble
And that our frailties keep us humble!
Ever speak in reverential tones
And contemplate in awe
How the Lord alone atoned
And can heal, assist, and teach us all!
He is infinite in scope
and individual in reach
He will heal you, help you to cope
Or let you seek , for awhile, to teach
And learn charity, faith, and hope
When Joseph Smith while in liberty jail
Cried, "why hast Thou forsaken me?”
The Lord offered peace to endure it well
Still, for “a moment”, hope was hard to see
Eternal perspective calmed his plea
Ever speak in reverential tones
And contemplate in awe
How the Lord alone atoned
And can heal, assist, and teach us all!
Yes, with love, He conquered the Fall
