Banner of the Just, The Freedom Covenant and A Father's Strength

 "Banner of the Just"

Moroni, clad in virtue's armor bright,
With God’s own wisdom guiding every hand,
To shield his kin and consecrate the land.
Stood firm in war, defending truth and right.

In liberty, our peace and freedom stand,
Yet chains await where righteousness is weak.
Need to fight for all blessings that we seek.
Guard our homes with courage it does demand.

For life is sacred, even those who stray.
In darkness deep, will always tend to rise.
But raise the banner, pierce the dark with cries.
Let not our silence pave a darker way.

With hearts resolved, we'll rally to the fight,
For truth and justice, in God's holy light.

"The Freedom Covenant"

For this ensign, Moroni's bold decree,
A banner raised to rally every heart.
To stand as one, refusing to depart.
Inscribe these words of sacred liberty.

For God, for freedom, for wives and our young,
He wrote, and every warrior took a stand.
No tyrant's yoke, nor an enemy at hand,
Could break this spiritual bond with your tongue.

In unity, our strength and purpose blend,
Each heart resolved, no more to kneel in fear.
Stand firm as mountains, hold what we hold dear.
With heaven’s cause, we shall not break or bend.

So let the flag of liberty unfurl,
Defending truth in an uncertain world.

"A Father's Strength"

If all were like Moroni, just and true,
The powers of darkness would forever cease.
The cause of God, his legacy of peace.
In strength and faith, his every act renew.

So too, my father stands with steadfast heart,
A pillar firm against the trials of life.
A guiding light through moments filled with strife.
In every storm, he’s played a noble part.

With wisdom deep and courage in his soul,
He’s led with love, defending all he holds.
A man of honor, strong and true as gold.
In him, I see Moroni’s righteous goal.

As Moroni’s deeds were blessed from above,
So is my father’s life, a gift of love.

"Rally the call to righteousness"

Moroni relied on his strengths,
and the Lord's guidance to great lengths.
Seek God's counsel in times of war.
Defend your family and more.

Peace and freedom make liberty,
Don't fall into captivity.
Defend your country, take up arms.
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.
