Out of all our covenants
We keep so true,
None are as powerful as
Saying, “I love you.”
Poetry inspired by being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Out of all our covenants
We keep so true,
None are as powerful as
Saying, “I love you.”
Words are easily spoken
But don’t weigh the same.
Some are frivolous
Others cause pain.
“Please, take away my pain
And eradicate my bane,”
I entreated for relief.
“Remove my thorn from me,”
I pled. Then asked humbly,
“Help thou my unbelief.”
Soon after –
I was called to serve the youth
To teach Eternal truth
And offer them relief.
Hmmm.
Lean in closer,
and listen for the sweet refrain of love.
Another momma,
just joined the heavenly chorus above.
Faith
Believe
Totally
What is hoped for
But you cannot see
Still you believe
Zealously
It is
True
Somewhere between still awake and sweet sleep –
Before I drifted into the deep
An image came to my mind so crisp and clear –
I wondered if I were really here.
I saw him stumble into the room,
his body beaten, his eyes weary.
The crowd of men were mocking him,
I studied them, staying leery.
Perhaps I am crazy,
Worse things have been said.
But I have felt you near me,
And know, it’s not all in my head.
The plea: “I need Thee every hour. Stay Thou nearby. Temptations lose their pow’r when Thou art nigh. I need Thee, oh, I need Thee; Every hour I need Thee! Oh, bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee!” (Hawkes and Lowry).
