"On Guard"

“On Guard”

cji
2/9/14

Covenanting to be on guard
to defend the Commandments
holding fast to the rod of iron
leading none astray with guile
defending the children/elderly
regardless of the tribulations
winter blizzards or fiery heat
gales, hurricanes, tornadoes
staying the course each day
calling all to the Sabbath day
keeping the purity of Gospel
plain and simple the truths
on guard always and forever
few are found holding fast
more deserting their posts
unwilling to face the laughter
unable to endure the pressure
slipping and sliding away
accepting rhetorical images
waving the Commandments
disregarding covenants;

But there are still a few
doing what is right always
standing on guard forever
enduring to the very end
obedient and accounting
calling in the blizzard all
going into the desert often
gathering in the lost sheep
feeding the poor and hungry
clothing the naked and widow
caring for the orphan always
thus being found obedient
in the service of the Father
testifying of the Savior
being true and virtuous
every day and on today
the Sabbath Day found!
