“I Like to Listen to the Prophet,” Friend, Aug. 1997, 12–13
I Like to Listen to the Prophet
I like to listen to the prophet.
His words are good and true.
When he speaks, he always tells us
Good things we can do.
I see love shining like the Savior’s
In his face for me and you.
He cares for each one of God’s children.
I know he loves me too.
He wants us all to live so we
can be with God once more.
And if his counsels we’ll obey,
They’ll open wide the door.
I like to listen to the prophet.
He’s here to show the way.
When he speaks, I want to live
To be with the Lord someday.
