Know for Yourself- Add Your Witness

Gather witnesses, yes, but know for yourself

That God is real, AND heaven and hell

Paul, once Saul, told his first hand account

His martyrdom's price was his truth to tell

Add Matthew, Mark, and Luke

And John the Beloved, who saw the miracles

As, did Peter, James, and Jude

They died for sharing His words and parables

You can go back and read of all these accounts

But, for their testimonies to have an affect

You need to prayerfully ask Him yourself

Then, through faith, feel the spirit make an impact!

Add your witness to the many all around

That God, His Son and the Holy Ghost are real

That answers and miracles still abound

That a testimony is something to bear and feel

Once you know all of this, you know the pattern of faith

That His church is upon the earth once more

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Has His priesthood, through which blessings now pour

Know for yourself

And share the love you feel
