He Stood in Our Place



The time appeared
The Lord did come
Filled with power
And pure love

The Son of Man
Of miracles
Endured temptations
He knows how each pulls
Satan tries to make of us fools

Jesus proved valiant for His roles
The good shepherd of lost souls
The master teacher of parables
The great physician, He made men whole

The sick, the lame, the blind, the deaf
He cured those with leprosy
He forgave sins and awoke the dead
Evil spirits He cast out many

He suffered this all and more:
Pain, horror, anguish and temptations
That pressed blood from every pore 
The wicked weight of abominations

And He the Creator of all things
Stood in our place as the scapegoat
Though found innocent, He was crucified
That to atone He might know
Perfectly to stand for justice
In purity 
to righteously try



Verse 1]
The time appeared
The Lord did come
Filled with power
And pure love

The Son of Man
Of miracles
Endured temptations
He knows how each pulls

Satan tries to make of us fools
Jesus proved valiant for His new roles
The good shepherd of lost souls
The master teacher of parables

[Pre-Chorus]
The great physician, He made men whole
The sick, the lame, the blind, the deaf
He cured those with leprosy
Forgave sins and awoke the dead

[Chorus]
With our sins inlaid
He stood in our place
Repent and be saved
By His atoning grace

He stood in our place
Pure love on the cross
And rose from the grave
To redeem man always

[Verse 2]
Evil spirits
He cast out many
Then in Gethsemane
He suffered this all and more:
Pain, horror, anguish and temptations

That pressed blood from every pore
The wicked weight of abominations
And He the Creator of all things
Stood in our place as the scapegoat

[Pre-Chorus]
Though found innocent, He was crucified
That to atone He might know
Perfectly, to stand for justice
In purity, to righteously try

[Chorus]
With our sins inlaid
He stood in our place
Repent and be saved
By His atoning grace

He stood in our place
Pure love on the cross
And rose from the grave
To redeem man always

[Bridge]
Perfectly to stand for justice
In purity, to righteously try
Though found innocent, was crucified
The Lamb was lifted high

[Final Chorus]
With our sins now inlaid
He stood in our place
Repent and be saved
By His atoning grace

He stood in our place
Pure love on the cross
And rose from the grave
To redeem man always

“For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, 
who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.”

“And he shall cast out devils, or the evil spirits which dwell in the hearts of the children of men. 7 And lo, he shall suffer temptations, and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can suffer, except it be unto death; for behold, blood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his anguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people

“And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his mother shall be called Mary.

“And he shall rise the third day from the dead; and behold, he standeth to judge the world; and behold, all these things are done that a righteous judgment might come upon the children of men” (Mosiah 3:5-10).

He's Been There Before

He's Been There Before by Elder Troy Whittle
The alarm bell rings at 6:30, I stumble to my feet
I grab my companions bedding and pull off his sheets
A groan fills the room, is it already time to arise?
It seems like just a second ago I was able to shut my eyes

The morning activities follow- study, prayer and such
When it's time to leave the apartment, you feel you haven't accomplished much
"We have a super day planned," My comp. says with a grin
I lowly utter a faithless breath, "Yeah, if anyone lets us in."

With the word of God and my faithful Schwinn, we ride off in the street prepared to
Face another day of humidity and heat
It's 9:30 in the evening, the day is almost through
My champion and I are riding home not accomplishing what we thought to do

We ride up to the mailbox, hoping to receive a lot
Only to look inside and hear my echo reverberate "air Box"
We go up to our apartment, the day is now complete
The only thing to show for our work is a case of blistery feet

It's past 10:30 p.m. My companion is fast asleep,
Silence engulfs me all about and I begin to weep
In the midst of sadness, I kneel down to pray
I need to talk to father, but I'm not sure what to say

"Oh, Father" I begin, "What happened to us today?
I thought we'd teach somebody, but everyone was away
My hands, my aching hands- worn, hurt and beat;
If our area was any smaller, we'd have knocked every street"

"Why on missions are the days so much alike?
The only difference about today was the flat tire on my bike
Will you send some cooler weather? The heat is killing me
I sweat so bad, it gets in my eyes, it's very hard to see"

"Why do I have to wear a helmet, isn't your protection enough?
People always laugh at me, and call me stupid stuff
Please send us investigators so I may give them what they lack
I want to give them Books of Mormon, the weight of them hurts my back"

"And what about my family: They don't have much to say
I'm sick of not hearing from home day after day after day
Oh Father, Why am I here am I just wasting time?
Sometimes I just want to go home, I'm sorry but that's on my mind"

"My companion, Heavenly Father, what are you giving me?
"The way he rides his bicycle, I don't think he can see
Now you have it, I can't go on, I don't know what to do
That, my Father in Heaven, is the prayer I have for you"

My prayer now finished, I stand up, then jump right into bed
I need my rest for tomorrow, we have another long day ahead
Sleep start to overtake me, I seem to drift away
Then it seems a vision takes me to another time in another day

I'm standing alone on the hill. The view is very nice
A man walks to wards me and says, "My name is Jesus Christ"
Tears of joy well up inside, I fall down to His feet
"Arise," He states, "Follow me to the shade. You and I need to speak"

My attention's towards my Savior, total and complete
He says, "Your mission is similar of what happened to me
I understand how you feel, I know what you're going through
In fact, it would be fair to say I've felt the same as you"

"I even know how you felt when no one listened to you
At times I felt not quite sure what else I could do
I know you don't like to ride a bicycle, for you a car would be sweet
Just remember the donkey I rode wasn't equipped with 21 speeds"

"I understand you don't like sweating, in fact it's something you hate
I remember when I sweat blood from ev’ry pore, oh the agony was great!
I see you don't like your companion- you'd rather have someone else-
I once had a companion named Judas who sold my life for wealth"

"It's hard to wear a helmet and have people make fun of you
I remember when they put thorns on my head and called me King of the Jews
So you feel burdened down by the weight of your pack
I recall how heavy the cross was when they slammed it on my back"


"Your hands hurt from tracting and knocking on doors all day
I guess when they pounded nails into mine, I ached in a similar way
It's hard not to hear from home when your family's not there to see
I lost communication on the cross and cried, "Father, why hast Thou forsaken me?"

"We have a lot in common, but there's a difference between us you see
I endured to the end and finished my mission, so follow and do like me"
He embraced me with His arms and His light filled me with His love
With tears in my eyes I watched as He went back to the Father above

I stood with awe and wonder when a beep rang in my head
I listened and heard the alarm, then realized I was in my bed
My companion let out a groan, "6:30 already, no way!"
I sat up and said, "Come on, I'll even carry your scriptures today!"

No matter what we go through, when we feel we can't take more
Just stop and think about Jesus Christ, He's been there before
By Elder Troy Whittle

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

These poems are my own thoughts and impressions as I study the gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints

I encourage you to read from the Book of Mormon and the standard works, and listen to modern day prophets, also, that your mind and heart might be touched.
