"Who Do Ye Hearken To"

“Who Do Ye Hearken To”

cji

5/11/17

Calls one and all – here – here

here is the way to salvation

over and over corner to corner

nay over here you need to come

at first sweet embraces given

till some went there others here

then comes the contention bold

we are the truth and only one

all else will be going to hell

thus did one church contend

another taking offenses

putting down in confusion

fair is the questing asked

‘who do ye hearken to?’

till one day a young boy

confused and concerned

told to go and pray which

in doing so he saw a vision

Father and the Son above

telling him to join but none

none were of him but men

then united all turned on him

this young boy who asked

truthful and innocent being

even till today the same

calling to one another

here – here or go to hell!

2 Nephi 28:26 Yea, wo be unto him that hearkeneth unto the precepts of men, and denieth the power of God, and the gift of the Holy Ghost!

27 Yea, wo be unto him that saith: We have received, and we need no more!

28 And in fine, wo unto all those who tremble, and are angry because of the truth of God! For behold, he that is built upon the rock receiveth it with gladness; and he that is built upon a sandy foundation trembleth lest he shall fall.

29 Wo be unto him that shall say: We have received the word of God, and we need no more of the word of God, for we have enough!

30 For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have.

31 Cursed is he that putteth his trust in man, or maketh flesh his arm, or shall hearken unto the precepts of men, save their precepts shall be given by the power of the Holy Ghost.

32 Wo be unto the Gentiles, saith the Lord God of Hosts! For notwithstanding I shall lengthen out mine arm unto them from day to day, they will deny me; nevertheless, I will be merciful unto them, saith the Lord God, if they will repent and come unto me; for mine arm is lengthened out all the day long, saith the Lord God of Hosts.
