A Promised Land
I am a stranger on this earth,
Searching for a higher birth.
My soul glimpses heaven above
And I feel my Father's love.
I long to return to His place
And behold my Savior's face,
To walk in my Father's world,
And to see His glory unfurled.
I am seeking His eternal story
And not the world and its glory.
I can daily find a place apart
Where He can talk to my heart.
As to His voice alone I listen,
With great joy my eyes glisten
And I feel the touch of His love
Lifting me closer to heaven above.
His promises see me through
For I know them to be true.
I write His word upon my heart
And know His love will not depart.
Day by day as I follow His way
And listen close when I pray.
My Savior will take me by the hand
And lead me to the promised land.

Hebrews 11:13-16
God's Handprint
See God's handprint in your life
Despite all troubles and strife.
See His handprint left everywhere,
Declaring to you His loving care.
Look for it, in the morning light
Or in the darkest night.
His handprint is in the skies
When technical problems arise.
In His house His presence is near
And His handprint is clear.
Feel His handprint on your soul.
Let HIm lift and make you whole.
Watch for His handprint everyday,
A sign to point you to His way.
If your sight one day departs,
Feel His handprint upon your heart.

Christ's Brotherhood
Oh to set beneath a tree
Comtemplating the life of a bee.
He works hard everyday,
Harvesting pollen without delay.
To him his purpose is clear
Never varying from year to year.
He works for the common good
Of the bees' great brotherhood.
Do we work for the common good
Of Christ's great brotherhood.
Are we working hard everyday
To find souls who've lost their way?
Do we have a purpose clear
To help save all we hold so dear?
Do we work for the living and dead
To bring them to the Everlasting Head?
Are we doing all we can each day,
To roll Christ's work along its way?
May our purpose be ever clear
Never varying from year to year.

1 Peter 2:17, "Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God."
Rejoice in the Day
God does not cause trials to be
For evil too in this world is free,
But He is there to see us through
And aide us in all we must do
If we will turn our hearts in prayer
And ask for his presence there.
His sun shines on good and bad;
So let us rejoice and be glad;
For this is the day He hath made.
His wonders He has displayed.
So let us arise and give Him glory
And praise Him in song and story.
Each day we must make the choice
Whether or not to lift our voice
And rejoice in the day He has made
Or in anger, pain and sorrow wade.
If we choose to seek His face,
He will in turn bless us with His grace.

Psalms 118:24, "This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."
Our Flag
May the Flag that flies over us today
On this free land continue to wave.
May all be free to worship and pray.
May it always be the land of the brave.
May all who live here thankful be
For this wonderful land of choice.
May we work daily to keep it free
And for its blessings always rejoice.
May we cherish freedom everyday
And remember all of our brave
Who died to keep it this way.
May our Flag continue to wave.
May we continue to revere
All forefathers fought to save.
May freedoms we hold dear
And ever let our Flag freely wave.

Good Shepherd
He is the great I am;
I am His precious lamb.
He daily offers His arm
To protect me from harm.
My body may fall apart;
But His love will not depart.
He will extend His hand
That I might with Him stand.
He beckons me to follow
That I might not be hollow,
But might be full of light
And able to withstand the night.
He leads me through sorrow
And gives promise for tomorrow.
He fills me daily with love
And points me to heaven above.

Love Bubbles
Instead of wallowing in pain or despair
Blow bubbles of your love in the air.
You will soon see that your bubbles
Can soothe someone else's troubles.
Everyday we have that same choice,
Do we wallow or do we rejoice?
Do we sink into the pain or despair
Or do we blow bubbles into the air?
Ask humbly for the gift of grace
To be able to wear a happy face.
God will help you blow love bubbles
To ease someone's else's troubles.
May we all stand the test of time
In any place and in any clime.
Because we know God's loving care,
May we blow love bubbles in the air.

2 Corinthians 4:13, "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in dispair."
Immovable in Faith
The decision you make today
Will determine tomorrow's way.
Great blessings will come for you
If you commit to God in all you do.
If you listen to the Still small voice,
Whispering to you the right choice,
Then on you His power will rest
And little by little your life will be blest.
Day by day you will grow stronger
As with your Savior you linger longer.
The more you want to be His friend,
The more you feel the love He sends.
The more you want to return to God,
The you want His path to always trod.
The more you seek to see His face,
The more you are filled with His grace.
You become the total of all you do,
And all you believe through and through.
Your life can be full of grace and power,
If you choose His way hour by hour.
He will make of you something great,
And His love to all you will radiate,
If you will but follow Him each day,
In every big and little way.

Book of First Nephi
Today the Spirit walked with me
And opened my eyes to see
All of the wonders in God's Word,
All of His stories I have heard.
The Book of 1 Nephi opens to me.
Lehi and his family I clearly see.
I see a Prophet of God call men to repent,
But the people rejected the man God sent.
1 Nephi 1
As I read Lehi's visions of old,
I saw a Prophet with courage bold.
I saw him leave his wealth behind,
A promised land to seek and find.
1 Nephi 2-7
As I read on and on in the Book,
Like Nephi I too take a look
And I behold the iron rod;
I too see the Son of God.
1 Nephi 11
I see the Liahona on the ground
That their way may be found.
I see Nephi break his bow,
And humbly ask which way to go.
1 Nephi 16

Be Still
Be still within your soul;
With God be whole.
Hear the thunder,
And see His wonder.
As you are awed,
Know that He is God.
With God take a stand
For all is in His hand.
Take comfort in His word;
Know you have been heard.
Stand still before His glory
And listen to love's story.
Put away all concern
As from Him you learn.
Let your sould draw near;
Know He loves you dear.
Let His peace surround
And His love abound.

A Smile
A SMILE
A smile rose up inside of me,
Filling me with a sense of glee.
It was a wonderful gift
To my heart and soul lift.
It is a gift of joy and light
So my soul may take flight.
No burdens hold me down;
Gone is reason to frown.
I feel His loving care
And know He's always there.
No matter what may transpire
He will my heart inspire.
His goodness surrounds me
And makes the clouds flee.
He gives to me a gift of joy
To lift above all that may annoy.

The Sun Is Shining
The Sun Is Shining
The sun is shining;
The wind is still;
The trial so confining
Is moving down hill.
The Savior is smiling,
Whispering all is well.
A new day is dialing
That peace may dwell.
Flowers are springing;
The day is warm.
My heart is singing
For gone is the storm.
