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.
