What I read….
…and the Lord said –
“It is time to cross the sea
to the promised land
prepared by my hand for the free.
Between here and there,
you must cross the great deep.
In order to be safe,
all my words you must keep.
There will be times
of darkness and despair
but trust in Me
through bad weather and fair.
So hearken now
and build this special boat
just like I say –
my goal is to keep you afloat.
When you arrive
on the shore of the promised land
please remember
to recognize my hand.”
What I thought…
…and the Lord said –
“The time is now I see
for you to become
the person you’re meant to be.
Between here and there,
you must cross the great deep.
In order to succeed,
all my words you must keep.
There will be times
of darkness and despair
but trust in me
through bad times and fair.
And hearken now,
build your testimony strong and true
just like I say
my goal is to pull you through.
When you arrive
on the shore of the promised land
you will look back
and recognize my hand.”
Ether 1-6
