What Does Christ of Me?

What does Christ think of me?
How can I reflect His light?
Above all I want to be
A Saint, doing what's right

The world of sin swirls around
More and more on wings of change
I seek but for higher ground
Away from darkness that chains

I want to feel love and approval
And see the Lord's hand all around
I want a life that is beautiful
One that is Celestially bound


As you love Him, trust Him, believe Him, and follow Him, you will feel His love and approval.


What Thinks Christ of Me?

"President Monson has described our day as moving away ‘from that which is spiritual … [with] the winds of change [swirling] around us and the moral fiber of society [continuing] to disintegrate before our very eyes.’ It is a time of growing disbelief and disregard for Christ and His teachings. In this turbulent environment, we rejoice in being disciples of Jesus Christ. We see the Lord’s hand all around us. Our destination is beautifully set before us. ‘This is life eternal,’ Jesus prayed, ‘that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.’ Being a disciple in these days of destiny will be a badge of honor throughout the eternities."

Life's Colors

When compared to the eternal
Glorious picture of all things
Life's colors we pick are trivial
For the vast contrast that each brings

When a life's candle dims
And darkness soon threatens
What matters brightly beams
The colors come of heaven!

 For each color that we pick
Let it have an eternal purpose
That when we become sick
These colors will still serve us

Let us paint our lives with care
To be clean and welcoming
For the blessings we will share
As closer to heaven we're becoming

The Race of Life

"When compared to eternal verities, most of the questions and concerns of daily living are really rather trivial. What should we have for dinner? What color should we paint the living room? Should we sign Johnny up for soccer? These questions and countless others like them lose their significance when times of crisis arise, when loved ones are hurt or injured, when sickness enters the house of good health, when life’s candle dims and darkness threatens. Our thoughts become focused, and we are easily able to determine what is really important and what is merely trivial."

—President Thomas S. Monson, "The Race of Life", General Conference, Apr. 2012
