One day I set out on a long journey I did take,To a place far away from early choices I did make.A place so foreign, no memories were erased,As each new day arrived, new challenges I faced. I thought to build a life of meaning and one of ease,Instead, I found my life would beContinue reading “The Master Potter”

Be not of the world but of God he has decreed,Keep ourselves unchained by the world we read.When the world points at you point your heart to him,Never let your light and fire of covenant grow dim. Find only in him the Holy One, truth undeviating divine,Wherein he said “If ye are not one, yeContinue reading “Be Not Ashamed”

Throughout the world in these the latter days,The Lord is building temples to hasten his ways.The work performed within the sacred walls,Is linking his children who will heed his calls. To seal, to bind, to build an endless family chain,Is his life’s work and glory and ever shall remain.Linking and sealing his children in oneContinue reading “Linking Our Families”

The divide between my home on earthAnd the place my heart longs to be.Has been the desire since my birth,To close the gap between thee and me. I struggle daily to find meaning in thee,To feel the love thou hast for me.Every time I fall, I fall to my knees,From sin and pain, I wishContinue reading “Grace”

The light of Christ burns in my heart,I know that he is near.He teaches me to do my part,And shows the pathway clear. The light of Christ it lights my soul,He teaches me to love,To live with him this is my goal,As he pleads for me above. The light of Christ can lead me home,IfContinue reading “The Light of Christ”

I hope you can feel a small part of the hope I have in the Savior Jesus Christ. He is our redeemer and has provided the means to return to live with him and our Heavenly Father. It is because of Jesus that I have this hope!

Before the foundations of this world were framed,In councils divine our Father chose and named,The Holy Messiah, his first spirit born Son,Would be born of Mary and be the Holy one. Begotten of the Father, who in his mercy and grace,Framed the plan so we could return to that place.To once again learn at theContinue reading “The Holy Messiah”

As Israel’s God desires for us him to follow,To come to know him as our Savior to Hallow.When part of our lives we allow him to be,Is when we allow him to truly make us free. How do I become willing in my life to let God prevail?To clearly see his will divine, through theContinue reading “Let God Prevail”

When I feel that I am all aloneI listen intently to hear his voice,I search his words to follow his life,Seeking for him is my life’s choice. When times of trouble stir my soul,When the noise of life deflects my view,I turn to reflect upon the message of his life,To follow his voice my directionContinue reading “Hear Him!”

Beyond this self-made prison of the gallows of my mind,Sway the flaxen cords on gentle breezes my heart does bind.The iron gates on rusty hinges remain firmly secure,Not having moved much over time though intents are pure. Securing my restraints firm and undaunted they remain,Never feeling stress to change, as that causes too much pain.RemainingContinue reading “Unfettered”
