Rally the call to righteousness

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.

What is Faith in Christ?

What is Faith in Christ?
Centered on something not known,
Walk to the edge of light, unknown.
Receive that seed into your heart.
Take actions to give a good start.

How can we feel that it is true
Experiment the word and do.
Patience with the seed, it will grow.
Give place to flourish, you will know.

Helps to remove the negative.
Cultivate with the positive.
Taste this light for it's good to go.
Confirms my saying that I know.

Do you follow Korihor?


Do you follow Korihor?
I hear the word by the chief judge,
It seems as though he didn't budge.
Bring many to a frenzied mind.
Did I actually feel aligned?

In this life prosper by my own,
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.
Follow him I won't be free,
Decisions are not made by me.

Prayer of the Forgiven & Daily Struggles


Prayer of the forgiven
I thank my God, given to us 
Our hearts softened and we discuss
Change our ways, forgiven of bad.
removed guilt, and now nor more mad.
Never let our swords stain again,
but will give our own lives, amen.

Daily Struggles
Can you be happy when life's hard?
Feel peace when there is no guard.
Shake off old habits and start a new.
Live with integrity when others aren't true.

Yes you can, call the heavenly source.
Sing Praise, Give Thanks, for he's that force.
For he is my light and my joy.
Allows my life to fulfil my employ

My Thoughts Unheard

My Thoughts Unheard
Wishes to dwell among and serve.
Saved my flocks with a steady nerve.
I hear the words he speak,
Causes me to become weak.

O Lord, I ask grant me relief.
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.

How can I stand by watching this?
Blood of the innocent will hiss.
Will stand as witness as a shield.
Repentant believer will yield.

Lift up your heart

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.

True Example

True Example

Example of Abinadi 
Courage to share with you and I 
Obedience to the Lord's way.
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.
