Liken the Scriptures

Tekst og musik: Shawna Edwards

I may not be asked to build a great big ship,
Or sail my family ’cross the ocean blue,
But if I had the faith and courage Nephi did,
Imagine all the great things I could go and do!

Omkvæd: The Lord has a special message for me
In every scripture story I read,
And I can become who I’m striving to be
When I liken the scriptures to me.

I won’t raise a tent to hear the prophet speak,
But I can listen when he speaks today.
And I don’t have a sword to bury ten feet deep,
But I can cast my selfish words and deeds away.

Omkvæd

Bro: Like Enos I will fervently pray.
Like the stripling warriors, I will obey.
Like Abish I will share what I know,
And like Ammon I’ll go where I’m called to go.

Omkvæd

When I liken the scriptures to me.
