"Can You Be True"

Do not weigh cost, just act in what is right,
Remain sincere, consistent, and endure.
The covenants you make are strong and pure,
Not fleeting things you whisper in the night.

Christ is the law, His image shining bright,
Proclaim His gospel with a witness sure.
Receive His word, let Spirit's flame secure
The ancient Ten, still binding in His light.

Love spouse and God with all your heart and mind,
With strength and tenderness, let love increase.
Such love directs your path, refined, aligned,
A holy bond, a covenant of peace.

A prophet leads with truth sent from on high,
The Spirit proves if it be truth or lie.

The Binding

Don't count the cost, just go and do.
Consistent in your work, be true.
His covenants and truths are not
Treated lightly nor speak of naught.

Christ is the law and reflects him.
Teach His gospel with every limb.
Received with Spirit and holdfast.
The Ten are key now as in past.

No matter if it's God or spouse.
Love both with all your heart, no doubts.
With strength, honor and affection.
Leads both in a good direction.

We bind ourselves in holiness.
To be true in all righteousness.
A true prophet called from on high.
The spirit tells if he's a spy.
