Funny Baptism

Today's the day you'll be baptized
But did you ever wonder
That everyone would be surprised
If dad just held you under

My husbands attempt at humor...

Born of Christ

Born of Christ
We bear His name
Filled with light
Faith's embers flame

Ever mercy
He supplies
He of meekness
Purifies

Through covenants
We follow Him
Strength He sends
Freely given

He is the Way
To Our Home
Through Him we pray...
And we're shown

Free to choose
The perfect plan
The Good News 
Is for all man

He is the Truth
And the Light
Love is our proof
All is right...

Forgiveness & Peace Through Jesus Christ

And they had viewed themselves
in their own carnal state,
even less than the dust of the earth.

And they all cried aloud with one voice, saying:
O have mercy, and apply
the atoning blood of Christ
that we may receive forgiveness of our sins,
and our hearts may be purified;
for we believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
who created heaven and earth, and all things;
who shall come down among the children of men.

And it came to pass that
after they had spoken these words
the Spirit of the Lord came upon them,
and they were filled with joy,
having received a remission of their sins,
and having peace of conscience,
because of the exceeding faith which they had
in Jesus Christ who should come.
(Mosiah 4:2-3)

And now, because of the covenant which ye have made
ye shall be called the children of Christ,
his sons, and his daughters; for behold,
this day he hath spiritually begotten you;
for ye say that your hearts are changed
through faith on his name; therefore, ye are born of him
and have become his sons and his daughters.
(Mosiah 5:7)

Take The Name Of Christ

There is no other name given
whereby salvation cometh;
therefore, I would that
ye should take upon you
the name of Christ,
all you that have entered
into the covenant with God
that ye should be obedient
unto the end of your lives.

And it shall come to pass
that whosoever doeth this shall be
found at the right hand of God,
for he shall know
the name by which he is called;
for he shall be called
by the name of Christ.

Something's Got to Change

Something has got to change
Being so full of anxiety
My realm of control truly hangs
Between who I'm not and who I'll be

An Inheritance of the Lord

As an inheritance of the Lord
Each child is as a nation
Awaiting to be trained and adored
By both parents in station

That little child on the street
 With scabies, rags, and all
Ought not to have naked feet
And ought to be trained up tall

My prayer to the Lord
Concerns the family
That His work will roll forth
For each home... happily

And a little child shall lead them
President Boyd K. Packer
April Ensign, 2012, 6
