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

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

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…

Let Us

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

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.
