I strongly encourage you

to read these words and ponder them in your heart.

then ask God if true for that will make you smart.

I strongly encourage you

to never deny the power of God nor his gift.

Make sure you use his gift to keep adrift.

I strongly encourage you

to remember that all good comes in and through,

same as it has and will be Christ, it's true.

I strongly encourage you

to remember all these things I have told,

for you to come unto Christ is very bold. 

It's Worth It

 It's Worth It

There's more  I feel will be desired

of worth to all and be inspired.

Covenants are too essential

and ordinances are special.

Ordained by power of the ghost.

Yes the Holy Ghost is the most.

You need it to take upon you,

The name of Christ, it's nothing new.

Remember Him always while praying.

With a broken heart your paying,

And contrite spirit your staying.

In his arms you'll be amazing.

Glory to God

 Glory to God

To whom do you anchor your soul?

Sure and steadfast to Christ as a whole.

Abounding in good works isn't odd.

You'll be led to glorify God.

Our weakness will be shown to us

That we humble us with no fuss.

For with Faith in Christ, we can do

the great things and become strong too.

Can you see it? and Journey's multiplied

 Can you see it?

Moroni saw many similarity

Only to see it in his posterity.

The Nephite cycle never ceases

Follow it and it will tear you to pieces.

Allow pride to build your prosperity.

Then wickedness brings disparity.

Closing the circle brings you to repent.

For if you don't grave danger will be spent.

Good and bad of scriptures are shared.

Avoid the bad, so not impaired.

Stray to the bad brings misery and stife,

And probably an unhappy wife.

Journey's Multiplied

Floating or buried in the deep.

Jaredite's kept humble and meek.

Evil not seen like water outside boat.

Don't give up hope just cause of a bad note.

There were times that they had recalled

how wrong their fathers were and stalled.

To follow God's commands and all.

Change they did and reverse the fall.

Behold, O Lord

 Behold, O Lord

Is the Lord an intimate friend?

How long talking, do you two spend?

Or is it just one time and done?

No one else can help you , no none.

Brother of Jared knew this well.

He cried to the Lord more than a spell.

Asked Not to confuse their language,

and darkness of boats to vanquish.

What will ye have that I should do?

Lord responds, for that is your cue.

None of God's child put faith forward,

Seen in his glory, much adored.

Reveal his will

Reveal his will 

I wonder what I need to know,

or what to do so I can grow.

Mormon says to believe in Christ

even if it is highly priced.

The Book of Mormon is the key,

Discover Bible clues for me.

Passed to son to finish the book.

Moroni did more than just look.

Our day has greatest pollutions,

He says to watch for solutions.

It's like a lamp to guide our feet.

Accept what's revealed under sheet.

Inspired and called his holy work.

Never changing is his one perk.

For miracles abound at times.

From birth to when the bell chimes.

Seen our days

Seen our days

The wait for one is finally here.

Name means more good to those who hear.

Saw our day and wrote what he could.

To our time his words are for good.

He saw and we do in our day.

Happiness in sin is no way.

Your broken heart will inherit

with a truly contrite spirit.

Press forward with pure love of Christ.

Spread good news of that was sacrificed.

Evil influence of satan will destroy

But you can change and find real joy.

What was said?

 What was said?

Behold this is the gospel given to us. 

Christ sacrificed all and was lifted on the cross.

Faith, repentance, baptism and the Holy Ghost.

Endure to the end and never boast. 

 

Is it simple as bowing my head. 

Or reading the scriptures before going to bed.

Yes but more, cause he did say to follow him.

I will put my hat on for every whim.

He asks what manner of person I should be,

Follow him and you will agree.

Help one another's burdens he said. 

So they can go to bed well fed. 

A society where contentions are not found.

Hairsplitting confrontations are all but drowned. 

We should deal justly with all person we encounter.

Don't let our differences be a downer. 

So what should stop you in your tracks.

Evil prideful works and avoid that sin tax. 

So when you say do it then you should.

Make a commitment and you would.

Come with me to live together.

Peaceful living with one another.

Don't care what color of your skin.

Accept you for you, even if you sin. 

The Lord's Jewels

 The Lord's Jewels

Awake and search the scriptures.

In your mind you can paint pictures. 

Say Amen keep praying in your hearts.

Cleans your vessel as Spirit starts.

Have you heard the words before you. 

Of the promised gathering He'll do.

A sign will show when the work starts.

The gathering of Israel's heart.

Covenant made with Abraham,

Same is done with you and the lamb.

We can walk along the tight rope. 

Cleaning done with fire and some soap.

A simple supplication and a Sacred Ordinance

SIMPLE SUPPLICATION

When you pray to God our Father.

Simple prayers to him will honor.

to avoid any damnation.

A SACRED ORDINANCE

I take the water and the bread.

Think on Him, nothing more to dread.

From birth, death and resurrection

All he's done and taught perfection.

Descend below all things before

He could ascend to do much more.

Where you there? Did you see it?

Where you there?  Did you see it?

Prophets foretold as signs unfold.

At His death the earth lost its mold.

Destruction never seen before.

Days of darkness scared to the core.

From a voice we heard among all.

Christ the Lord spoke and it wasn't small.

From big things to all that is small.

He is the light and life of all.

Law of sacrifice still is core.

But nothing like it was before.

Hear His voice and follow its mold.

You're gathered so you don't unfold.

Struggle of Christ's Disciple

 Struggle of Christ's Disciple

Have heard lies and words that flatter,

God's work seen, Satan tried splatter.

Some fell, with hearts hard and minds blind.

Actions distract by evil design.

Meet your enemy forward faced.

Pray for the Lord's strength, won't waste.

With faith in God overcome fear.

Learn like him by time to appear.

Role Reversal

 Role Reversal

Lamanites were always evil.

But Nephites did an upheaval.

Became prideful, ignored prophets.

Warning ignored in their back pockets.

"This is the way" but realize

There's bound to be tempting lies.

That even though they're seductive,

Consequences are a must've.

Spiritual Unsteadiness

Spiritual Unsteadiness

Did you just forget or refuse to commit?

Was it a lack of knowledge or the Devil made you do it.

The needs of the flesh cause an unsteadiness.

You harden your heart which is a form of deadliness.

All God's creations do obey his command,

But the children of men tend to withstand.

They can repent and hearken to his voice

Restored by grace just by a simple choice.

Cycle of the circle

 Cycle of the circle

Watch out this circle will afflict.

If no repent it will restrict.

Groups of evil tend to distract.

Diligent in the sight of God.

Brings us around from being flawed.

Avoid offence or be quarantined.

Protect your families and farms.

All life is precious, protect it.

Even those in the devil's pit.

Don't be the one to do nothing.

Hoist that title and do something.

No sin when divine is unknown.

Management of the creature, what?

Can I get a piece of that cut?

Follow this new morality,

It's selfish mentality.

Saved my flocks with a steady nerve.

Causes me to become weak.

Remove this veil of unbelief.

By hunger and thirst I'm estranged.

My redeemer seen, my heart changed.

Sympathy of Soul

Sympathy of Soul

After the order of His Son.

Ordained to choose to get good done.

I dare not rehearse the matter.

wrest or twist the Word will splatter.

We see evil being done to all,

Smitten on cheek, what will befall.

Pain felt now, but glory greater,

For the righteous comes later.

Will stand as witness as a shield.

Repentant believer will yield.

Lift up your heart

A mighty prayer, God wants to hear it.

Labor in your heart and spirit.

The Lord will see how serious,

Your fasting is not delirious.

Harden your heart against God's word.

Atone your sins by self, absurd.

Our mortal time here is on trial.

Watch words, works and thoughts not vile.

Why shall I follow this command,

The plan of redemption gives stand.

Choosing right wins the second death,

Evil don't stand another breath.

Born Again

You should hear me, I verbalize

with vigour of my soul advise.

Image of God engraven on,

shown but not drawn with your crayon.

What it means to be born again?

Walking like him and don't pretend.

Looking at others through his eyes.

Speak of those with the greatest prize.

Change colors of your tie dye shirt.

Green of envy leaves lots a dirt.

Clean or bleach them to remove blue.

Strip out purple pride to clean you.

Judges rule, Kings drool

Judges Rule, Kings Drool

Righteous kings will not always last.

Judges come from votes that are cast.

If the voice of all are wicked.

God's wrath awaits as predicted.

Spirit of Truth is way to teach

Bad things of world never preach.

Promise of the Lord will protect

Yet pride will degrade if unchecked.

Your works do show rewards you reap.

Good or bad you will have to keep. 

Wickedness enters from the back.

Pride enters your heart, give no slack.

Power of Scriptures & A new creature

Power of Scriptures

Now we're together to discuss

King Mosiah has read to us

Our stories that are amazing.

Delivery from bondage, praising.

Slain by Lamanites, distressing.

Think of goodness of God, blessing. 

Pain filled and anguish for their soul.

Made more changes to become whole.

Great is the teaching in your youth

Unrecognized he'll be in truth.

Confess your sins and repent some.

Go and do this to overcome.

A new creature

Mosiah and Alma had sons

Using words as if they had guns.

Destroying the church and lead away

Everyone by what they did say. 

The Lord sent an angel earthbound,

Shake they did or was it the ground.

Why do you bully those of God?

Needless to say he left him awed.

Awoke he did after two days.

Born of the spirit  in all ways.

Changed from carnal and fallen state.

A new creature, cleaning the slate. 

What's your desire and Go Forward with Faith

What's your desire

Should your desire be so bold,

Come unto God and join his fold.

Mourn and comfort to those in need.

Stand as a witness is your creed.

Be baptized in his name to show

and you'll gain that eternal glow.

Go Forward with Faith

He hears prayers yet slow to respond,

For our past sins he waves a wand.

Even the righteous have trials,

By patience they last with smiles.

Your weakness will be made stronger,

By His divine will it last's longer.

Lift up your head, be of good ease

Lighter your burdens are than these.

Faithful to covenants, not stray.

How many warnings is needed.

Or are you too much conceded.

Are the ten commandments still good?

Love of God and others you should.

By the law alone we're not saved.

Salvation from Sin or enslaved.

Tis the only gateway, through Christ.

As if Gospel and Law are spliced.

Teach the Children

Teach the Children

From the north desire to return,

Ammon and team went to learn.

To find our brethren in bondage,

Forcing them to pay homage.

An ancient record had been found.

Not read,  a seer was not around.

Gift from God, greater than prophet.

Make great miracles with no profit.

We fought against the Lamanites.

Defend ourselves, protect our rights.

Prosper with the Lord as our might.

They taught children to hate and fight.

Joy in our heart that's purified.

Those extending their hand in need.

Don't deny, aid them to proceed.

In wisdom and order do all,

Can exhaust you chasing the ball.

Fear ye shall perish, watch yourself.

In thought, word and deed prove oneself.

Take upon you the name of Christ,

Willingness to do all sufficed.

No other name, its like a stimulant

We are sinful, a state so raw.

I feel my sins are far-reaching. 

Led to my wrestle before God.

Penitent I'm hungered and flawed.

Further down the road their whole souls

Given to the Lord with higher goals.

Hear words with moral from a tale

The tree is on the upper scale. 

The master allows it to grow.

Parts do but others start to blow.

This made the master sorrowful.

Grafting option is more hopeful.

A wild olive tree to nourish,

Allowed to grow and flourish.

With great fruit given to the Lord.

Other trees need help with a sword.

Still need to nourish to flourish.

Working all day is primary.

Spare the trees a little further,

Remove bad so good can nurture.

My poem makes the book really shine.

Father Lehi saw and read much.

Repent from evil, is no hunch.

Hurtful the response was from all.

God said leave now, before the squall.

Obey the Lord they did and leave.

Two sons went but did not believe.

In the desert they pitched a tent.

Called back, Nephi will go and do.

Retrieve the plates with all his crew.

One last time we will not lose life.

Father knew we needed a wife.
