The Temple

By Callie Taggart

I see my picture of the temple
Posted on my bedroom mirror;
When I think of this beautiful building
I know God’s love is near.

I know that in the Lord’s sacred house
The world is left behind,
And the powers of the kingdom
Past and present bind.

The Spirit is so strong and warm
As sacred ordinances are made.
We start on the path to eternal glory,
Family ties will never fade.

I always want to be worthy
To someday enter in,
And with a wonderful husband
Our family will begin.

With clean hands and a pure heart,
I always want to be.
The celestial temple is my goal,
With blessings to eternity.
