Imagine yourself at a spot
Beautiful where ever you gaze
From each new angle, your breath is caught
In every extremity
Demonstrating charity
Offering His care
Every finite frailty
That ever was known to man
The Lord has the ability
To atone for us, He can!
Kindles a fire of faith
It warms each heart to labor
With His light before one's face
We become most like
Those whom we admire
Living in Christ's light
Truly does inspire
The divine invitation
To inquire of the Lord
Oft triggers revelation
For truth has been restored
Knowledge upon knowledge
We apply and learn more
Like a peaceable bridge
Rising between us and the Lord
He Surpasses All
Who is the grandest man
You have ever known?
Jesus surpasses that
With power to Atone
More still He is our light
And warms our souls for worth
As in Him we find rebirth
The Savior Stands Alone
For now and throughout eternity
In reverential tones
We experience in solemnity
The atonement stands alone
A solitary act
Offers us new life
In death, we are not trapped!
We have Jesus Christ!
His Atonement Stands Alone
The atonement stands alone
Bringing to man life's extension
To return to our heavenly home
Greater than any invention
Perfect Your Powers of Reason
Perfect your powers of reason
Discover the how's and why's
Explore our times and seasons
In ever small ways we can measure
And mirror the life of the Lord
To more fully feel light to treasure
As we learn from His two-edged sword
The doctrines of the atonement
Must be felt and internalized
To find in the most trying times
A close kinship with Jesus Christ
The Essence of Freedom
The essence of freedom
Is to know Jesus Christ
To journey in wisdom
Holding to truth and light
At the gospel root
Is one profound truth
Is a river of love
God's Life Blood
God's life blood, at the root
Flows out to branch forth
And produce precious fruit
Purely from the Lord
The Compelling Reason
The compelling reason, alone
That the Lord came to this earth
Was to be the lamb and atone
That we might rise unto worth
He was to condescend
From God and perfection
To be our Savior and
May the Lord Raise You Up High
May the good Lord raise you up high
Like an eagle, nobly to soar the sky
And cause each weakness to become strong
That you may know to whom you belong
Who was given utterance that he could teach
The people trembled much from his words said
The earth, too, trembled and the mountains fled!
Our Savior Immersed Himself into the Seas of Human Experience
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
Until, the Lord’s 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
Only the Lord Knows and Loves Infinitely
No matter what the world throws at you
The Lord has faced it all, and more!
He knows each thing that man can do
And sees ahead what lies in store
Only the Savior knows
The sum total of the human plight
Our sins, pains, and sorrows
He came to know on that dreadful night
Then, as the scapegoat, He
Carried our cross on His torn flesh
Ever so willingly
With compassion to save and bless
You are not beneath Christ's call
Nor will you ever be
He descended below us all
To lift us for eternity
Never deny His ability
To atone for the fallen man.
He did so, for us willingly
According to our Father's plan
Now He waits for me and you
Daily, hourly, by the minute
He feels what we're going through
No matter how minute
At the very gospel root
Is one profound truth
The Lord’s atoning blood
Is an infinite river of love
His life blood, at the root
Flows out to branch forth
And produces precious fruit
White and pure from the Lord
Where Will You Go?Every finite frailty
That is known to man
The Lord has the ability
To atone for, He can
Where will you seek
For solace and help
When your heart bleeds
And your life is Hell?
Where will you go
For truths... to know
If... you walk from God
And His gospel sod
Where will you find
For your family
Covenants that bind
Made eternally
If you turn away now
What of your future
God forever endows
And His laws tutor
In minute ways we can measure
And mirror His life of love
To more fully feel light to treasure
And prepare for life above
