Great Trees Deep Roots- Joseph's Role in Restoring the Savior's Gospel

A witness can't be denied
Forgotten or ignored
As, from it you cannot hide
For it came from the Lord

Honed and prepared
He was in need of strength
Humbly he shared
How he developed faith

The keeping of records
And the bearing of truth
Has come through great efforts
As great trees have deep roots

As the founder of a cause
How would he lead? at what cost?
Would he be willing to die?
Who would take his place? and why?

Sometimes all you have
Is your faith to hold on to
And the hope that perhaps
All your family will be true

Amidst a war of words
How can you know what's right?
Let your questions be heard
For wisdom, seek God's light

Scriptures come with power
Unto the heart of man
Teaching any hour
Heaven remains open
