Through the Miracle of the Holy Bible

Four thousand years of sacred history-
The Bible was preserved by holy men
For its accounts of Christ's words and ministry
We treasure the old and new testament

Protected throughout the dark ages
Through countless conflicts of generations
These works still speak of Christ in its pages
Though it passed through many hands and translations

We owe so much for each man's inspired words
We owe so much to the many martyrs
Who served all their lives and made record
And... too, we revere those called the reformers

God does direct what His scriptures should say
He's whom we place our trust and confidence
We are blessed to have the holy bible today
Divinely, as it's not by chance or coincidence

Here we learn of the teachings of Jesus
Here love and obedience can increase
Honest study of holy words help us
On our quest to find perspective and peace

Tens of millions find God in the Bible
Here they find truth to feed and guide their faith
Their dream to have freedoms, were not idle
They sought to be led by God and not fate

When the bible went into the household
It helped each man to search which doctrines were true
Now more light and wisdom can and does unfold
Influenced by one who asked what to do

Prompted by words he read in the bible
He went alone to a grove, to God beseech
Now what happened next, there's no denial
God and Jesus came to Joseph to teach

Without the bible, where would mankind be?
It led Joseph, who was then schooled for manhood
From golden plates, he began translating
That God's church could be restored and His priesthood

Now we've the most correct of any book
For it was preserved and protected for our day
Translated by seers through which he would look
It's become the Bible's companion works, today

Now, we've another testament of Christ
As the world grows in knowledge of all kinds
We're thankful our father hears our cries
And that to every humble seeker- truth he finds

The bible is a pillar of our faith
And is a powerful witness of the Savior
It witnesses anew, and may God be praised
For the Latter- Days, we have help to endure!

Seek Learning by Faith

As we look forward and anticipate
An ever confused and turbulent time
It becomes essential to seek learning by faith
Where there is spiritual strength and protection in life
And direction in the knowledge that we obtain

Learning by faith opens the pathway into the heart
Hoping for things which are not seen but are true
All that the teacher's spiritually prepared to impart
To demonstrate, persuade and testify anew
Through the Holy Ghost, if we would but do our part

Faith in action enables us to press forward
Assured that we've found the correct understanding
Though we're uncertain and where we are going is hard
We step into darkness from the light where we're standing
Soon, we've new evidence of faith and coil upward

In God's grand division of all His creations
They're things to act and things to be acted upon
We have been blessed with the power to be agents
The Lord safeguards us from Lucifer's rebellion
And we learn to be more morally obedient

When we're receptive our learning is not passive
We become actors and doers of the word
Our pondering invites learning in the process
The Holy Ghost whispers truth of what is heard
And faith opens the hearts pathway for a witness

In Joseph's time ministers told him what to do
In the midst of this war of word and tumult of thought
He went to a grove to pray so he could act on truth
He sought learning by faith, he wanted to be taught
Through faith, the Word of God, spoke to him in his youth

To answer a deep question, no matter what it is
The Holy Ghost is a teacher from the Father
As a member of the Godhead it witnesses
As it enters into the heart of the learner
As a sacred Gift, to the faithful, it blesses

In two thousand five, we were invited to grow
To read the Book of Mormon, in a matter of months
To act and not be acted upon, while here below
The world is trouble, what is it one really wants?
The faith to step in the dark, and trust where to go

This Day- Probation and Grace

 

[Verse 1] Each day Thou gives us is as a fine treasure, For me and my house to serve with great pleasure. I've sought Thee early to find and to know Thee. Bless this wise servant for what brings cleansing. We have been given probation to improve. While we have bodies ever to control and move, We can know which tasks truly matter the most. Bless me with promptings of the Holy Ghost. [Pre-Chorus] Prayerful reading can set our course each new day. When we submit... we act without a delay. Will my garments be white to go no more out? Help me to know how I can show Thee I'm devout. [Chorus] Help me know, help me know Help me know what to do Help me know, help me know I will follow through Help me know, help me know When the moment is here Help me know, help me know And keep my heart clear [Verse 2] We are here to prepare for eternal life. We rejoiced to prove we're faithful despite strife. We can show we will do all the Lord does ask. Help me to choose against temptation's strong grasp. We needed someone with grace and God's favor. Who could perform with love as beloved Savior? We chose Jesus Christ to come qualify us. Help me not procrastinate, while there's justice. [Pre-Chorus] Although we may struggle with complacency, We have been placed purposely since infancy. Though we're seasoned we have not yet done our part. Help me show endurance with a steadfast heart. [Chorus] Help me know, help me know Help me know what to do Help me know, help me know I will follow through Help me know, help me know When the moment is here Help me know, help me know And keep my heart clear [Bridge] Though I'm discouraged with my circumstance, I will carry burdens with more confidence. Each day as thy servant I'll follow through. Bless me to know what I can here and now do. I know Jesus suffered my infirmities. He prayed for all men feeling all agonies. He forgave His enemies and their lies. Help me to forgive and build eternal ties. [Chorus] Help me know, help me know Help me know what to do Help me know, help me know I will follow through Help me know, help me know When the moment is here Help me know, help me know And keep my heart clear [Outro] Help me be thankful that I am yet alive. And to recognize that with Thee I do strive. As a small payment for debt from Christ's purchase, Help me share His charity through kind service. Of those who petition Thy aid, help me see. Bless me to hear Thy voice and know their need. Remind me to pray to Thee both night and day. Help me know my Savior, in His name I pray.

This Day

The Sabbath is a Holy Day

On the Sabbath morning
I felt within my heart
The Lord's day was holy
And purely set apart.
As a heart that rejoices
We speak of heavenly things,
Then join as choir voices
And with the angels sing.

Here, I can rest from labors
And duties found in life.
I with my best endeavors
Have come to receive light.
With full dedication
And tender growing feelings
I offer up affection
And ponder my life's dealings

What I learn from a talk
I can know that it's true,
If in right paths I walk
A warmth confirms anew.
We treasure up wisdom
By teaching each other.
We learn of God's kingdom
Here one with another.

As a memorial
We take the sacrament.
His life, death and burial
Gave us the atonement.
And this we must think on
As we partake of His emblems;
And, His ascension
Gives reasons to sing hymns!

I try to be careful
And partake worthily;
With a contrite heart, full
Turned to Him willfully.
We receive blessings
Each week that we partake.
Our sins, we're addressing
As we commemorate.

Now the day is not through
Once we attend meetings.
This we do not simply do
For that would be fleeting.
We each have a calling
And need not to condemn.
The world would want us falling
Though, we're a light for them.

We must each wash our robes
And seek they become white.
We have heavenly hopes
And want to do the right.
We've got to arrive at
A state that's ever pure.
If we are on the right track.
Yes, we can know for sure!

May our pioneers inspire
Us, to press on despite peril.
The days became more dire
For we are being tried as well.
Like them, let's be committed
To stop each Sabbath day.
With God's laws on our hearts, written
We trust on and obey.



"The Sabbath is a Holy Day",
John Taylor, pg 107
Teachings of the Presidents
of the Church

Here We Come

Here we come to judge ourselves
Of our own worthiness.
In remembrance, we have come
To feel light within us

Here we come to eat the bread
With our hearts humbly found.
With our Lord we have come to rest
As our sins we've laid down

May we offer our clean hands
And too our pure hearts.
And shed off the natural man
For what peace imparts.

Here we come where, humbly I

Will eat of His bread

His body crucified

That I be cleansed and fed

Here we come to gently sup
And to drink anew.
As we ponder what was shed
For all of man, too.

We take His name upon us
Keeping covenants that last.
He to search us and prove us-
Are we found steadfast?

As on the Sabbath Day
For much we do pray
For a measure of the Lord
We obey, hungry for more

May we prepare for the great Day
For His final supper
This the Great and Dreadful Day
The prayers, He will offer

July 24
A cleaned up version of the poem below:
Here we bow to judge ourselves of our worthiness on Thy sabbath day
In remembrance we have come seeking happiness for which we do pray
Here we come to eat the bread and to drink the cup with hearts humbly found
As Christ's body was laid down, then to Thee raised up, our sins we'll lay down
That we may with clean hands make offer and with Him gently sup

We want to have Thy spirit in a large measure and feel close to Thee
Oh, search us now and prove us, we want to be pure and walk steadfastly
We remember the suff'ring and bleeding Savior who endured for us
As we partake of His supper, may we feel His peace, thus
And prepare for His new supper - for when He does appear!

Little Remnants

Little remnants of thought
Where do they come from?
No matter how hard fought
Minds can't be made numb

We've no drug or disease
To completely erase
Nor will time appease
All we've likened to chase

The twisting of doctrines
And shading of laws
Have led to darkened skins
And torn murmuring claws

We've the Preach My Gospel
It is for all the earth
May knowledge soon pool
Unto cleansing and rebirth

Come and bask in the truth
And in the pure sunlight
Where fountains yields fruit
As thoughts turn to what is right

With Every Feeling in His Heart

With every feeling in his heart
Joseph Smith made a deep connection
Never did more power impart
Than from each word and each inflection

He'd read from James 1: 5-6
And came to a mighty conclusion
That he must do as each word directs
Or feel darkness, lost in confusion

If any of us lack wisdom
Then we must ask of God while in prayer
He's the source where all truth is from
We can know that of us, He's aware

We yield our minds to new insights
As we pour out what we have pondered
And the Holy Spirit highlights
With a confirmation that's rendered

Wickedness never was happiness
With each action, there's consequence
What we have gleaned from righteousness
We must record without hesitance

Within our hearts, we must maintain
Powerful teachings that guide our day
Blessings that we want to obtain
Come from obedience and our faith

My thoughts from
Yielding Our Hearts to God

Come Hear the Organ Pipes

Come and hear the organ pipes
Feel them hum within the soul
Of all the musical types
Sustained quality is their roll

What better way to give praise
And as Saints be unified
Than when varied voices raise
As each pedal is applied

Feel the peace and contemplate
As the spirit now is fed
Feel the calming tones sedate
To where righteous thoughts are led

Walk in the Light

We were all taught by Elohim,
He, the Father of our spirits.
We wanted to be like Him
To prove faithful, and fully His.

We've unique characteristics.
He designed our earth life with love
And o'ersaw all the logistics.
What can we experience enough of?

With a body of cravings that grow
We would be subject to illness.
Pain, suff'ring and death we would know
On our journey t'wards fullness

We progressed as much as we could
And Lucifer rebelled the plan
He thought better of what we should
He'd forgo a body, rather than

Cast out with a third of the hosts
They spend all their time to deceive
Of their power to tempt, they do boast
Wanting to prevent what we'd receive

As part of Father's grand design
We'd need help to learn to behave
He lit up all the earth with a sign
A light for our conscience that would save

This Light had come from our Savior
Who never strayed from all that's right
He would condescend, though He's pure
And teach us how to walk in the light

As part of the plan, He must die
After suff'ring for all our sins
After all temptations were denied
He'd help us return, as He ransoms

We came as a babe that was mild
Our prior existence was veiled
So that we could learn as a child
All that we prepared for and detailed

Now, our lives are not perfect
We make mistakes, and often sin
But, tools are in place to protect
Though, for some, from God's laws they harden

As we learn to sense what is right
We become privileged to find more
Those with the Holy Ghost gain insight
And can share this light from the Savior

From our joy, we feel the light's warmth
As it illuminates our path
Where for everyone there is roomth
Hoping to see what the Father hath.


You make choices every day
That will keep you walking in the light
Show new faith, when there is dim sight.
For, if not you are moving away.

May you watch, may you pray
May you help others to walk in the light,
May you know a countenance bright.
Glowing with warmth to brighten the way

Listen to Learn

Here's good counsel to receive instruction
So you're found wise and safe from destruction
Surely, there's wisdom which comes from our neighbors,
Children, parents, leaders, as well as our Savior
Are we eager to listen, when marked by distress?
Or when there are trials we need to address?

When others express anguish, do we listen?
With both ears? Do we have time to fit them in?
When someone has trauma they speak openly
Do we interrupt and behave shockingly?
We can try to understand others distressed feelings
So we're not ignoring, harming, or pretending!

As when young people are lonely or troubled
Their need for us to listen is doubled
When they are ranting like a frenzied beast
Seemingly to deserve favor the least
The wise listener learns well from these children
That there's a reaching of hearts and soothing of mayhem

The husband and wife communicate best- together
As they try to learn from one- another
Talking time is prime for love and commitment
For weeds too oft choke out fruits requirement
Then when the garden is well cultivated
A marriage is proven, sweet, and dedicated

When we listen, it promotes tolerance
We learn one's true intent and sentiments
Even if the persuasions are diverse
We can be polite when ere we converse
We learn to listen and listen to learn
Truly this is how the spirit discerns

In our day the prophet is far reaching
And we must turn our ears to his teachings
He offers wisdom... how life is best enjoyed
Those who ignore will one day be destroyed
When we incline our ears, we listen
And.... we can see with them... the vision

We need to listen... to hearken, and obey
This is true, ever, when we read, ponder, or pray
We feel inspired, we speak and then we wait
To understand the answer which comes but by faith
We lend an ear unto counsel, with covenants and laws kept
Line upon line, we then hear our Father's own precepts

Russell M. Nelson

May I Speak With a New Tongue

May I speak with a new tongue?
As one who's been baptized,
And received the Holy Ghost
Which guides with words of Christ.

May I speak as though an angel?
Softly... with the Holy Ghost.
Which utters what I should do
To perform and receive the most.

May I reach out unto you,
With thoughts which I treasure?
For, from the spirit they then grew
To testify and assure...

Then.. may you listen
To the plainness of the Word
Given of Him now risen
Awaiting to be heard

There to grow and not be faint
Performing in the name of Christ
As through prayer you consecrate
Continually day and night

The Quiet Whisperings of the Heart

The quiet whisperings of the heart...
Will I heed and awake and now start?
The scriptures are calling for me.
To arise and open and read.
They strengthen and brighten my day.
To inspire my thoughts when I pray.

The quiet mornings speak softly,
Into the mind and heart so gently.
They're as a Liahona sent
Each sunrise outside of my tent.
As I leave my home each new day.
May I read what the words for me say.

His Truth Can Lead Us

Our Savior’s teachings are in the scriptures.
He used parables to paint pictures.
His truths are as a living fountain.
A lit candle is on His mountain.
Covenants help us learn to feel that He’s near.
Temples have a balm that help our minds clear.
When our eyes see, and ears hear, we find.
Choice visions will come into our mind.

His truth can lead us
For His spirit, we do pray.
He’ll never leave us.
Pray we don’t go astray,
This day.


Let’s remember why we take the water and bread.
Our savior did redeem the dead.
With the sacrament souls are nourished.
We’re renewed, families are encouraged.
Line upon line, we’ve a course we can chart.
Then temptations strength will depart.
Regardless of what the circumstance.
There can be a light in our countenance.

His truth can lead us
For His spirit, we do pray.
He’ll never leave us.
Pray we don’t go astray,
This day.

When we’re searching for truth, the Son is the source.
He has a plan to keep us on course.
Charity helps our steps to become light.
For using heart strength and all our might.
We learn through Him that the Father is near.
When we say a heartfelt prayer we will hear
Loving words, and help for our stride to lengthen.
Till the day when we’ll rest in heaven.

His truth can lead us
For His spirit, we do pray.
He’ll never leave us.
Pray we don’t go astray,
This day.

We'll know eternal rest when prayers are answered.
With our souls restored and time conquered.
Gratefully, we’ll run to the Son to greet.
And with tears of joy we’ll wash His feet.
With trumpets and heavenly choir all around.
All tongues will confess each knee to the ground.
That "Jesus is the Christ and our Savior.
Whom we praise for His infinite favor."

His truth can lead us
For His spirit, we do pray.
He’ll never leave us.
Pray we don’t go astray,
This day.

Let Us Be More Prayerful

Let us be more prayerful.
To forget we are prideful.
For He knows what we’re feeling.
And He cares of our dealings.
We can pray in the name of the Son.
He and our Father are as though one.
May our thoughts be as one, as one.

No two prayers are the same
To forget is a sad shame.
For Christ atoned for one and all.
And hears all our prayers great and small.
We can pray in the name of the Son.
He and our Father are as though one.
May our thoughts be as one, as one.

We can pray to be led.
By the Spirit, we are fed,
With His love of unbound measure.
And with promptings that we will treasure.
We can pray in the name of the Son.
He and our Father are as though one.
May our thoughts be as one, as one.

This Day

Each day Thou gives us is as a fine treasure,
For me and my house to serve with great pleasure.
I've sought Thee early to find and to know Thee.
Bless this wise servant for what brings cleansing.
We have been given probation to improve.
While we have bodies ever to control and move,
We can know which tasks truly matter the most.
Bless me with promptings of the Holy Ghost.

Prayerful reading can set our course each new day.
When we submit... we act without a delay.
Will my garments be white to go no more out?
Help me to know how I can show Thee I'm devout.
We are here to prepare for eternal life.
We rejoiced to prove we're faithful despite strife.
We can show we will do all the Lord does ask.
Help me to choose against temptation's strong grasp.

We needed someone with grace and God's favor.
Who could perform with love as beloved Savior?
We chose Jesus Christ to come qualify us.
Help me not procrastinate, while there's justice.
Although we may struggle with complacency,
We have been placed purposely since infancy.
Though we're seasoned we have not yet done our part.
Help me show endurance with a steadfast heart.

Though I'm discouraged with my circumstance,
I will carry burdens with more confidence.
Each day as thy servant I'll follow through.
Bless me to know what I can here and now do.
I know Jesus suffered my infirmities.
He prayed for all men feeling all agonies.
He forgave His enemies and their lies.
Help me to forgive and build eternal ties.

Help me be thankful that I am yet alive.
And to recognize that with Thee I do strive.
As a small payment for debt from Christ's purchase,
Help me share His charity through kind service.
Of those who petition Thy aid, help me see.
Bless me to hear Thy voice and know their need.
Remind me to pray to Thee both night and day.
Help me know my Savior, in His name I pray.

There's a Force

The Son of the Morning was cast from God's presence.
The heavens wept o'er him and there was sadness.
He's practiced at persuading others to him.
He took with him a third of the hosts of heaven.
Now he's the bad force bent to destroy us.
He's ever expanding. He's ever devious.
He's smart from experience and not from skill.
His lies will blind men until captive to his will.
He seeks to be in control, his own purpose to fulfill.

He will try incitements and use deceitful ways.
Pretense and sophistries, he weaves in last days.
“All is well we prospereth, so all is well”.
He says as he leads man carefully down to hell.
Now he's a lion seeking whom he may devour,
Ever wanting glory, dominions, and power.
We say “get thee hence, Satan, Imitator.
We refuse to hear your entreaties any more.
We pray for the day you're gone. And your dominions by force.”

The devil cites scripture, if it suits his purpose.
The more we draw to God; he's there to thwart us.
The minute the Saints revolt, what comes from God.
He'll take a hold and have us singing his ballad.
We need to be sober and vigilant this day.
As in the Lord's work we anxiously engage.
We can and do roll back bad input on us.
Through our brother and Savior, our Lord Jesus.
Through him we hold God's priesthood.
We hold God's powers in trust.

We're given gifts from God. We can have discernment,
If we live to obey all God's commandments.
Although Satan knows to sins' our tendency,
He has no real authority, we've agency.
He has no real power, unless we permit it.
A wicked spirits' bound, by law and limit.
We can resist him more than we now realize,
If we heed the counsel of those who do preside.
And allow the Holy Ghost to be our companion and guide.

A wolf in sheep's clothing, He's a thief in the night.
He'll send plagues and break hearts. He'll try to snuff life.
Yet, he needs our bodies for all they can do.
We can render him powerless, if we've faith to.
There is no soul that's safe. That he would not destroy,
For he has legions under his employ.
They are the masters of speech, and they whisp'reth.
“There is not a hell or a devil,” they flatt'reth.
Of this they'll persist to way beyond the umptieth.

We must warn young people of his sly devices.
Before they succumb to his vain entices.
He'll seek to divert them from their future path.
He'd like to hold us within his fingerless grasp.
We have our strong bodies to command him, “retreat”.
Resist him, be righteous and then he will flee.
He'll tell us there's no hope, once we transgress,
But, we've been given our agency to progress.
We can repent of our sins 'though they may be most grievous.

We can voice a warning sound against the devil
And against his angels, who mainstream evil.
On the Saints, he will increase use of power.
As the kingdom of Heavenly Father grows stronger.
We believe that Satan's ever-expanding efforts
prove all the truthfulness of the gospel work.
We will need greater spirituality to perceive
his attempts to pacify and then deceive.
He will intrigue the naive. We can have wisdom or grief.

He'd love to destroy us. Mostly of our usefulness
in carrying the gospel into its fullness.
Yet, we have the still small voice for our stopping.
And if we don't listen, we'll fall to tempting.
This mechanism can't stay when we're weakened.
So, we need to help those who have lost this friend.
Heavenly father, please bless us, when we are weak.
And generously, please, forgive when we misdeed.
Help those in need of solace. And keep us from pride and greed.

The Family Organization

We need a help-meet who “best” will help us
Man should not be alone, nor the woman, thus
We must work hard all the days of our lives
Founded as parents, a family thus thrives

Since Satan would detour us from family
And try to take use of our agency
We're entitled to receive God's promptings
As a spiritual witness, with firm feelings

And as we grow in worship and love
Rededicated to Heaven above
Great blessings descend to lift and sustain
For God wants the best for all to obtain

-Based on words by Elder Tingey.

The Power to Change

Are there tears in me
For who I want to be?
Humbly in meek prayer,
I'll extend all energy.
With God's help I can abstain.
A new life I can obtain.
I will hold to the rod,
With my life close to God
Through His narrow paths I will trod.

Can these tears of mine
Cleanse all my soul and mind?
With the Spirit's help,
I'm Christ-like, with sins denied.
There's promise in Mormon's book,
The Spirit won't overlook.
I'll read it each new day.
And, hear what God does say.
Clean and brand new, for this I pray.

I've a new mission.
I've been commissioned.
To tell of God's love.
And help them gain vision.
Through tear-filled eyes they can find
Their old sins are left behind.
I once was as a weed.
I now can plant His seeds.
With pure thoughts, I'll have nobler deeds.

O Remember, Remember

If we write down just a few things that happen each new day,
We'll see the hand of God reaching to our fam'lies today.
Although we don't remember God and His Beloved Son.
If we seek Him, God will show us the things which He has done.
The Holy Ghost can bring light through a veil of dark blindness.
A journal shows a path to God. We'll recognize kindness.
O remember, please remember how you have been so blessed.
And establish, writing habits and of His hand confess.

When we're faithful God protects us and helps us to prosper.
Then is the time that we harden and think God's laws hamper.
It's easy to forget blessings, and thus we should give heed.
For what's inside our hearts can change the blessings eyes have seen.
So, too, the grind of poverty and distress darkens hope.
Then it's hard for the Holy Ghost to prompt what helps us cope.
O remember, please remember how you have been so blessed.
And establish, writing habits and of His hand confess.

There is a cure and a pattern in the sacrament prayers.
We promise God and our natures change as we know He cares.
The Holy Ghost is His Gift that reveals things through a veil.
We'll see God's hand in our service. He strengthens what is frail..
Our warm feelings can stir others so they will remember.
When we've Christ's name that's upon us, there's mercy that's tender.
The atonement helps us live lives that lead us toward God.
And we have help to remember the paths He helps us trod.

We Know Not What Showers

We know not what showers over the mountainside
And, must heed the voice of the Spirit our guide
For there's floods which may come to wash us out
And, we need faith- when it's easy to doubt

We have revelation spoken from God to man
A promised gift that can impel us to “I can!”
The Lord has not left us unassisted
He's our strength. And, for us, He persisted

He gives testimony, prophecy, and comfort
He teaches us restraint, and gives us full support
It's a grand privilege to every true Saint
We're informed, and we can run and we'll not faint

Although we may not see our Lord from face to face
His blessings now extend to all the human race
Our Savior endured pain unassisted
Yet, with faith and covenants, we are assisted
