Saved For This Time

 

Each of you stood firm and strong

Against the devil and his wrong.

You begged the Father for this time

So you could come and make your climb.

I believe with all my heart

You knew the risks right from the start.

That only made your choice more sure

Your spirits were all clean and pure.

Now you’re here on planet earth

Striving to recall your worth.

I know you all to do your best

I have faith you’ll pass the test.

Remember what you came here for

That will guide you ever more.

You have within you power divine

One day you’ll hear that “You are mine”

God will never forsake you

Regardless of what you may do.

He wants us all to come back home

When we’ve finished here to roam.

The day will come when you will see

You’re now who you were meant to be.

Your hearts will fill with godly love

As you return to home above.

Heaven Opened Once Again

 

In the spring of eighteen twenty

So many churches teaching plenty.

Confusion ruled the day and night

A young boy needs to know what’s right.

James tells us to ask without a doubt

And God will help us find truth out.

And if we ask with a pure heart

God will show us where to start.

This young man knew he could just ask

He set out on this humble task.

Into a sacred grove of trees

Young Joseph fell down to his knees.

His first prayer came from deep within

As evil tried to do him in.

He prayed with all the strength he had

A pillar of light removed the bad.

God the Father and His Son

Appeared to Joseph , brighter than sun.

They called him by his given name

Dear Joseph you have brought no shame.

Which church teaches thy true word?

I want share and just be heard.

The answer came and pierced his mind

None of them , for they’re all blind.

Joseph Smith was called that day

To be a prophet, that I say!

His life from that day was intense

For what he taught made perfect sense.

God and Jesus taught him well

Sending angels with truths to tell.

Moroni in September came

Joseph would never be the same.

Moroni told of plates of gold

That told of God’s forgotten fold.

The Book of Mormon is for all

I know it’s true so I stand tall.

The gospel has been now restored

At its head is The True Lord.

Never to be lost again

Heaven speaks, that will not end.

All of this I know is true

It’s on my heart like morning dew.

My God has blessed me with so much

I hope someday, His wounds to touch!

Playing with Fire

 

At first it seems so innocent 
When that first request is sent.
But what you see is nothing pure
Of that I am so very sure. 

Then the dopamine hits hard
And it makes you drop your guard. 
Now you’re digging a deep hole 
One that will destroy your soul. 

Shame and guilt then enter in
Guilt can help, shame makes you spin. 
You must find someone to talk to
And pray until you make it through. 

It is a tough road that’s for sure
But with the Lord, we can be pure. 
When you fall, get up once more
And God will show you what’s in store. 

Rest assured you’re not alone 
For your sins Christ did atone. 
He waits for you so patiently
For with him you will be set free. 

Nigh at Hand

 

The time is now to choose your side

To follow Christ or evil pride.

Prophets all have testified

That all will have their faith be tried.

We all knew life would be this tough

That many things would make it rough.

Many children are deceived

Forgetting all they have received.

The only way to win the day.

Look up to God and with him stay.

He has promised all he has

If we this earthly test do pass.

Even when the souls of hell

Tempt you with the lies they tell.

Their evil ways will be revealed

And Satan will be bound and sealed.

Faith is key in all we do

For fear can never get us through.

Trust the Father and the Son

They will help us to be one.

The second coming of our Lord

Will reveal the faith we’ve stored.

Great and dreadful it will be

For evil ends ,that, you will see.

Eye Single To His Glory

 

Every day brings with it choice

To follow evil or God’s Son.

The world will tie you up in knots

And make you think you are no one.

Keep your eyes upon The Christ

For He was lifted up for all.

In the garden and the cross

He rescued all from Adam's fall.

Chaos rules so many lives

Like smoke and mirrors, it hides the truth.

The only sure way to survive

Trust in Jesus, the perfect sleuth.

We have trusted man too much

Man can’t save us from the war.

We must remember who to trust

I know that’s God ,down to my core.

He sent us here to do his will

We only need to find that out.

Never will he forsake us

His name will I forever shout.

As the coming days unfold

Evil may seem like it’s won.

That is the biggest lie of all

For Vict’ry’s in God’s only Son!
