Eternal Witness Seen

 "Eternal Witness Seen"


I see the witness, hear the Word anew,
Stand firm in faith, unwavering, commit,
With sharpened thought, discern and ponder it,
For what is worth the most to each of you?

A voice resounds from worlds beyond our view,
Its message clear—proclaim, let none omit,
With fervent heart, declare the words that fit,
That souls may turn, repent, and live anew.

Can you profess the sight your soul embraced?
The three stand firm, their words a beacon bright,
With purpose shining forth in sacred light.
God’s book revealed, by prophecy traced.

God’s Book is given, now to every land,
Translated clear by His divine command.

"I see the witness"

See the Word and hear to know it.
Stand as witness, keep faith, not quit.
With sharpness of thought listen through,
Do you know what's most worth to you?

A voice comes from eternal worlds
With power of heart tell his words.
Bring souls to repent, no falter,
To the kingdom of our Father.

Can you say that your eyes beheld?
Testimony of three upheld.
God's Book of Mormon is declared.
Translated now it can be shared.

Repent and Go Forth

Repent and Go Forth

 
With heavy heart and mind consumed by night,
My past mistakes weigh heavy on my soul,
Yet mercy heals and makes the wounded whole,
Restored anew, I press toward the light.
But haste without the strength to guide our way,
Can lead to stumbling, faltering in despair,
For Satan tempts and lures us to his snare,
Distracting hearts that seek the narrow way.
His lies would twist the doctrine we hold true,
Contending where the Lord commands us peace,
Yet faith prevails, and doubts begin to cease,
As hearts embrace the light and will to do. Prepare to serve, take up the sword with might,
Built on the Rock, go forth in truth and light.
Previous Poem 2021-02-07 D&C 10-11
Repent and go forth
With heavy heart and darkened mind
Results of my actions defined.
Restored, Now to work we must go.
Run faster than strength brings great woe.
Master plan of destruction
Satan's evil plan, distraction.
Inspires against every action.
Can we avoid his deception,
Over doctrine he prefers contention.
Am I prepared to serve
Join this great work of the Lord
First a desire to lift my sword.
Enlighten my mind filled with joy.
Keep commands, help build not destroy.
Now seek the Word in standard works.
Built on the Rock brings many perks.

Knock on Heaven's Door

"Knocking on Heaven's Door"


If seekers knock, then truth they'll surely find,  
A whisper flows from realms on high above,  
Revealing wisdom wrought with endless love,  
For hearts that long for light are ever kind.  

For in the mind the Savior's words resound,  
They lift the heart to ever soar on high,  
And banish doubts as darker shadows fly,  
Filling souls with truth that does abound.  

For if you fail to think it through with care,
The likelihood is that He bids you review,
To mull it over, letting insights ensue,
And illuminate the path that is clear.

So knock, dear soul, upon that hallowed door,  
And find in faith a light forevermore.



Previous Poem 2021-01-31 D&C 06-09


Have you knocked lately?


Finding the truth by those that knock

Humbly Seek celestial talk.

Sacred secrets you too can find.

If your true search is so inclined.


For In your mind the Lord will speak.

Your heart respond's for it's not weak.

Aware that fear enters your heart.

Push it out, add faith and be smart.


Question begs of Apostle Paul.

The Lord gives answer to us all.

He has continued to prepare

For the Lord's return was his prayer.

Fields of Divine Harvest

Fields of Divine Harvest

Against the Lord, no mortal hand prevails,
For He discerns the hearts of all mankind,
His purpose firm, His work none can unbind,
Though man may falter, still His grace unveils.

From smallest seed, the wondrous work begins,
In hearts and minds, it blossoms and ascends,
A beacon bright, its light to earth extends,
Transforming souls, erasing countless sins.

With fervent zeal, in service we should strive,
Let faith and wisdom guide our every deed,
For in the field, the harvest waits indeed,
The time has come to gather, thresh, and thrive.

Rise now, above the fleeting earthly gain,
God's voice will call, His message not in vain.

"Harvest of the Heart"


What challenge calls, surpassing all our dreams?
What work demands our heart, our might, our soul?
A task where faith and labor make us whole, 
A cause far greater than it ever seems. 

Lift up your eyes; behold the golden streams, 
The fields await, their fruit a glistening goal.
Swing forth your tool, let steady hands control,
For harvest thrives on quiet, steady beams. 

Each day renew the edge of sharpened steel.
Let hope and faith illuminate the way.
As heaven guides and lightens your dismay,
With charity your labors will reveal.

Drink at the fount, and rise with strength anew, 
For fields are ripe, and harvest calls to you.

Harvest the Warning

Unholy hands extend against
From God the thoughts of men not fenced.
For He has seen the future clear
His work proceeds without much fear.

It began small to penetrate
Both the beating hearts and minds great.
This change is a marvel to all,
A wonder that started to crawl.

Serve God with greatest emotion.
Spirit focused on devotion.
Grow intellect with great focus.
Your muscles flexed are not hopeless.

Yep this field's ready to gather.
Much more gold than you can father.
Cut the wheat with a sharp sickle.
Walk by faith more than a little.

Rise above all that is mundane.
let the temporal go down the drain.
Now don't take lightly the warning.
Promised that he would be callin'.
