The Book of Love -The Book of Mormon



When you feel far away
And that you don't measure up
Find a quiet place and pray
And go to the book of  love

First take a moment for prayer
Humble yourself for listening
Pour out your heart right there
Seek answers, even earnestly

Stretch beyond glancing
And read with real intent
Hungrily feasting
For purity, to be obedient

Willingly do this daily
While holding to the iron rod
Write down what you are learning
How you are feeling the love of God

Filled with heroes as in the Old Testament:
Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David, and Daniel
The Book of Mormon is another testament
Of Nephi, Jacob, Alma, Ammon, and Moroni

Read and feel nearer to God
Partake of His Tree of Life
You'll receive more than you sought
It's fruit fills with Truth and Light

Daily read the scriptures and feast- especially the Book of Mormon
