"Are We Listening" (if so to who)


1 Nephi 3:7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.

“Are We Listening”
(if so to who)

4/8/17

Many hear the promptings
but then just turn away
pretending not to hear at all
till one day they no longer do
oh this is so very very true
missing Father’s sacred call
thus in the worldly to stay
hearing not the promptings;

Thus to pause – hesitate
considering why we’re here
where once did we come
where someday we’ll go
is it to return home we know
Father’s commission done
finding the veil now shear
why in our minds this debate;

Are we listening if so to who
promptings able to save us
either in small or major ways
daily a gift of the restoration
to lead us to our destination
trimming our sails and stays
having all our sheets cirrhus
saving family, ship and crew!
