"Duty in Motion"

Building Zion step by step as you walk.
Moving all with order and pure intent.
Some will fall. Lift them up though you'd be spent.
You are true when strength grows in a headlock.

Stand strong, do your duty with calm focus.
Hearts bound to neighbors to travel as one.
Trust the path before you, never undone.
Keep hands clean and words true without notice.

Put your faith in the Lord, leave fear behind.
Let gratitude shape your journey with rhythm.
Rest when the Lord says. Rise when it's with him.
Work with discipline of soul intertwined.

Hold steady as you work toward each good end.
Serve others with clean hands that heal and mend.

 "The Return"

You've seen pillars of pride pierce clouded skies,
The voice has called us forth: Arise, Arise,
Get ye out. For the world's deep night gives rise.
Come home, Zion's mountain air is the prize.

From Zion's mount His holy arm is cool.
Made clear from island shores to western plains.
Appear with fire and power in all domains.
The King returns, and His glory will rule.

The mountains humbled with His single word.
Continents made whole with a swipe of His hand.
Earth's return to its pure Eden formed land.
The Lord takes final control, much preferred.

Let every knee now bend, each tongue declare, 
That Christ the Lord is King beyond compare.

Eternal Knots with Touch, Knowledge, Law

 "Touch, Knowledge, Law"

Heaven's hand extends to greet mortal palm, 
A hollow grasp will reveal it's a lie.
Or feel its warmth to confirm truth from high.
The just stand still, confirms this living psalm.

All knowledge will become our wings to fly.
For what our mind acquires in mortal days,
This will ascend beyond the grave's dark maze.
Which lengthens resurrection's endless sky.

We see before the world was spoken forth, 
That obedience opens every door. 
Defiance to laws leaves us wanting more.
For all laws do seal us to heaven's north.

What touch reveals and learning elevates,
Obedience to law determines fates.

"Eternal Knots"

Two souls joined become as eternal seed.

Alone we can bloom but cannot move on.

An increase only a union can spawn.

With vows it transcends mortality's need.

Sealed marriage should never run on empty.

As this binding alone does not exalt.

Learn, develop, and apply truths; don't halt.

A shared growth creates eternal plenty. 

This eternal knot bound by heaven's hand,

As two hearts tied in covenant are grown.

From these mortal vows to an endless throne,

It will remain through all the timeless land.

Not seal alone, nor growth, but both combined,

Transforms this into a celestial kind.

 "Witness in the Water"

Make unbroken chains from Adam til now,
As trumpets of joy that will echo through. 
Every soul remembered, all bonds made new.
Salvation is claimed, all souls to allow.

Ink and faith bind generations unseen.
Waters' witness names both living and gone.
These ledgers of mercy beyond graves spawn,
Pray unto heaven that all might be clean.

Each ordinance done in temples holy. 
All names spoken, as the water calls up,
To all creations reaching the Lamb's cup.
With sealed records now coming forth slowly.

Through this love unending, the work endures.
Salvation’s promise forever secures.

 "Sanctuary of the Saints"

Plant Zion new on river’s sorrowed bend,
The mantle remains; this work does endure.
The Father’s blessing gives a haven sure.
Saints’ hands that build in peace shall not contend.

Raise sacred these beams so all may find rest.
A holy inn for travelers of light.
Sanctified stone to gain endless insight.
With open arms, this door opens to each guest.

You need a place so heaven may descend.
In sacred rooms, the living bind the dead.
Eternal ties anchored at every thread.
Delay not; make this your favorite trend.

Let every stone proclaim a covenant sure.
His mercy lives, His promises endure.

Heaven's Reach

At times, silence teaches of heaven’s trust.
Iron bars can’t cage a covenant heart.
Power bows to purity, it does part,
For the meek's unseen scepter will adjust.
 
For if the pit is deep, so is His reach.
Every sorrow bends toward God's glory.
Lowest descent holds the highest story.
Enduring all will divinely bless each.
 
Truth can be spoken, even if in chains.
For through small acts it moves eternal hands.
Justice waits; for patient hearts will have plans.
Light works best when steady hands remove stains.
 
In broken hours, heaven builds its reign.
The faithful rise, made whole through holy pain.

 "Gathered as One"

When trumpets sound, the veil of night will flee.
The earth shall rest, her labors all complete.
No pride shall stand, no haughty soul compete.
The Lamb shall reign in perfect majesty.

Within the hush, the meek shall hear His word.
Their names are carved upon the living stone.
The fire refines what once was flesh and bone.
In Zion’s light, one faith, one heart is stirred.

Let nations wake, their sleeping hearts arise.
The field is white beneath the dawning flame.
The Bridegroom calls, the pure shall bear His name.
Each vow restored, each soul made wholly wise.

The lost are found, their joy forever sung.
In Him all worlds are gathered and made one.
