Windows of Heaven

 

God asked Malachi long ago

Why have my people robbed me so?

Why do they hold their goods from me

Where is their faith that sets them free?

Have I not promised blessings sure

Like rain from Heaven clean and pure.

There would not be sufficient room

For blessings giv’n will surely bloom.

God will send forth heaven’s light

He opens windows, sends what’s right.

Any offering we sacrifice

Will make a life a little more nice.

Tithing opens windows holy

And revelation comes, you’ll see.

Faith increases when we give

And God, our sins, he will forgive.

All we have comes from God’s hand

Without Him we could never stand.

Eternal blessings will be yours

As fires of hell pass by your doors.

Look to Him

 

You looked to him before your birth

You knew your purpose and your worth.

You felt His love with all your heart

Which helps you want to do your part.

You looked to him with your first cry

As your mom your tears did dry.

The light of Christ is in your smile

He’ll walk with you for many a mile.

You looked to Him throughout your life

In all the worry and the strife.

Especially when things went right

You kept His glory in your sights.

Look to Him as children do

They love and worship Him so true.

Their hearts are pure and full of love

That’s why they look to heav’n above

Look to Him forever more

So someday you’ll walk through His door.

As long we stay firm and strong.

Yoked with Him you cant go wrong.

It Matters Not

 

It matters not what men will say

From God’s sure path I will not stray.

He is our Father in Heaven above

Who sent His son to save with love.

I do not worship mortal man

But God with His most perfect plan.

Jesus Christ His son was born

To save us from this life forlorn.

Joseph Smith was foreordained

To be the prophet all sustained.

As a boy he sought to know

He knelt to pray in the sacred grove.

In response to his simple prayer

God and Jesus came to him there.

He asked of God which church was true

God’s answer shocked him through and through.

All men's churches do not seek

My will to do, nor are they meek.

Their hearts are not fixed on my Son

With me they don’t seek to be one.

The Book of Mormon does testify

That Jesus Christ will Purify.

Two witnesses we need for truth

The Bible is the first of two.

God has opened heaven again

And chosen prophets among men.

They speak with God to show the way

May we heed their words I pray.

Jesus Christ restored His Church

From His holy, heavenly perch.

His priesthood power has been restored

To do the work of our King and Lord

These things I know apart from men

I’ll say them now and more again.

God’s Holy Spirit taught my soul

And with my life I’ll pay the toll.

Peacemakers

 

If there ever was a time

To seek for peace, the time is now.

Satan seems to be in charge

As he puts on an evil show.

Division, hate and cruel intent

Rule the lives of many men.

The only way to cure these ills

Is to love our fellow man again.

Do not seek a worldly peace

For it won’t last more than a day.

The peace that Jesus offers us

Will in our hearts forever stay.

Make the effort to be kind

And love each other without shame.

This simple act of a loving heart

Reminds us of His sacred name.

Those who choose to follow Christ

Pick up their cross and follow him.

You will not carry it all alone

You’ll not be left out on a limb.

Bless’ed are the peace makers

For they become a child of God.

The gospel is prepared with peace

And with that peace our feet are shod.

New Beginnings

 

How does one begin anew

When this life seems all askew. 

Chaos seems to rule the day

Until you kneel and start to pray. 

That is the first step we must take

And he will heal a heart that aches. 

One or two or thousands more 

New beginnings don’t keep score. 

He loves us with a love so pure

His love is quite the perfect cure. 

We’ll never go too far away

Where His love, with us, won’t stay. 

Do not listen to the lies 

Of he who says don’t even try. 

God’s grace and mercy have no end

His love for you will never bend. 

New beginnings bring us hope 

Like being washed and cleaned with soap. 

Keep your focus on God’s son

The day will come and you’ll have won!
