“I Heard the Prophet,” Friend, Oct. 2001, 7 I Heard the Prophet Words by John V. Pearson Music by Janice Kapp Perry 1. I heard the prophet speak today. He spoke of Jesus Christ. He said that I should always pray And live a righteous life. I heard the prophet speak today. I felt his words. Did you? I know that he was sent by God And what he says is true. 2. Now Joshua, and Joseph Smith, And Paul, and Nephi, too, Were called by God, who spoke to them And told them what to do. Some built a ship. Some healed the sick. Some turned the night to day. But ev’ry prophet knows the Lord And teaches us His ways. 3. I heard the prophet speak today. His words were sure and true. He said, “Serve God and you’ll be blessed In righteous things you do.” God’s chosen prophet leads our church And teaches us today. I’ll listen as God speaks through him And willingly obey.
