Let my mind now focus
And my body be still
Let there be peace at my locus
As I seek out God’s will

Let’s build a ward in heaven
As an enlarged family place
With temple names more given
There to bless the human race

Why come to church
But to learn of our Lord
To take on His name
And proclaim Him adored
Why take the sacrament
But to be clean anew
To feel His love for us
And vow His works to do

Let every man bear his part
That law’s burden not fall on one
Let each judge in their own heart
Midst faithfulness to the Son
Let those who represent
Be without corruption
And clearly found present
To make correct deduction
the first verse was just written on a paper in Alma 4… from when I don’t know

There’s a journey to take
For all walks of life
Unto covenants to make
To come unto Christ
Each then in His own way
Can find for themselves
How to trust and obey
The true source of help
Each man’s being prepared
With a path theirs to seek
Once the gospel’s been shared
A gate awaits those found meek
With a host as a guide
There is much to explore
To become endowed in white
Inside the temple doors

From the buds of Achievement a bloom promises to shower
With the colors of heaven… with beauty soon to flower
The first petal to unfold
Is a beautiful gold
Made of pure virtue
The highest of value
Next to this came
Purple in flame
Made of integrity
And determined dignity
This flower will never wilt
With the yellow next to be spilt
Rising tall unto the sun
Through good works now begun
Then for the choices made
A fragrant orange was laid
For being responsible
Free as one accountable
And growing from the stem
Green grew as a gem
Proving intelligent
As for knowledge it unbent
Then forming unique birth
And individual worth
A red petal came alive
It’s mission one to strive
Next to this petal rose too
A reminder made in blue
Helping red to see
Divine nature within me
Then last and in the center
A pure white petal did enter
Shining with faith and love
Dedicated to the Savior above
for Marie Belle who is turning 12…
Faith (white)(Alma 32:21) : I am a daughter of Heavenly Father, who loves me, and I will have faith in His eternal plan, which centers in Jesus Christ, my Savior.

Choice and Accountability (orange) (Joshua 24:15) : I will remain free by choosing good over evil and will accept responsibility for my choices.
Good Works (yellow) (3 Nephi 12:16) : I will nurture others and build the kingdom through righteous service.

Let us search out and try our ways turning to the Lord
For He is good unto those who seek, with love, to labor
Thus, we bear the yoke, offer our cheek, and wait patiently
For are we not filling with hope… knowing His mercy?
Let us lift up our hearts and hands… and speak to our God
That all the clouds before His face will clear… unto our calls
Then, might we hear His blessed words of peace and fear not
Humbled to know again His love… prepared to be taught
Let us go forth filled with much faith, sharing of our light
Lifting a hand, sharing a tear, brightening the night
That those in need, might also know, seek, hear and find
What brings delight and purity… forever designed
Let us remember and never forget
The blessed messages of Jesus
He lifts us up and carries if we let
Towards Father in Heaven… as He frees us
Let us remember and never forget
The plan of our Father in Heaven
Christ gave us life, His purpose was met
And it’s up to us to trust… as we’re healed then
Let us remember and never forget
The light that we carry inside us
Unto the path that’s brightly lit
Never to walk alone… But with Jesus
LAMENTATIONS
OF JEREMIAH
3: 40-41
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.
Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.

The blue sky is brushed in white
As jet contrails cross the sky
New missionaries take ascent
To reach far and represent
Christ’s ambassadors ever go forth
To teach what life is for
Hoping for that golden contact
To spread the good news that one lacks

I like ears that listen
Let me turn them on
I like eyes that open
And look keen and long
I like hands that stay still
And know where they belong
My ears, eyes, and hand will
Help my smart brain become strong

Now, that I’m blessed with wisdom
Shall I hold back my tongue
My hands, my heart, my ears
No, not even if the world jeers
To God, I’ll consecrate my performance
Prayerfully, holding nothing back
For, with Him, my potential’s enormous
As alone there is so much I lack
And as there is now so much more of me
To share of time, talents, and funds
I know I only hold one thing truly-
My agency to seek, choose, and find
Consecrate Thy Performance
Elder Neal A. Maxwell
April 2002 Conference
2 Ne. 32: 9
But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul.
