Liahona

 

 - Verse -

 

And it came to pass that as my father arose in the morning, and went forth to the tent door, to his great astonishment he beheld upon the ground a round ball of curious workmanship; and it was of fine brass. And within the ball were two spindles; and the one pointed the way whither we should go into the wilderness.

Book of Mormon   1 Nephi 16:10

 

To walk by faith is a needful thing

A trek without sure knowledge or fact

Of what the perilous journey will bring

Or how we may, to tests and trials react.

 

So God gave to prophets and seers

An instrument of faith and obedience

For journeys through the vale of tears

Voyages of hope, faith and expedience

 

A divine compass, a Liahona was provided

To point the way into the unknown

     Powered by faith, they were guided

To a promised land of their own

 

A Liahona can be my guide

Not made of brass nor spindled

But embers of faith deep inside

Where testimony’s fire is kindled

 

A Liahona I would truly be

Pointing in the Master’s direction

Thinking, feeling and doing as He

On my journey toward perfection
