The Faithful Task

It starts at first, the test of one
And soon proceeds, a gospel sung

Through tears and faith, of hope and love
A message given from above

Inside the lonely mountain hides
Until the Humble may arise

A script of praise of faith and truth
A book, and vision, giv'n in youth

To the World, this meek young boy
Shares the goal of holy joy

Through trials and hardships oft unmatched
The Faithful child endures the task

He then grows, becomes a man
And further still the gospel ran

A righteous fire, through heart and soul
Takes the two and makes one whole

The message sweet the duty seen
Prepare yourselves be pure and clean

The foe is cunning quick and wise
And lies awaiting in disguise

Be resilient in the passing tide
Do not be one, who runs to hide

Follow the boy who in his youth
Was not afraid to follow truth

A Humble Prayer

A humble boy, a vocal prayer
A simple verse that led him there
Ask of me ye shall recieve
Hold nothing back and just believe

He took this holy promise giv'n
By a loving Father in Heav'n
He knelt to pray and ask for truth
He yearned for wisdom, absolute

He then saw a light that shone,
Brighter than the noonday sun
And appeared two beings at once
There was the Father and the Son

"Joseph, this is my beloved"
They taught him knowledge from above
They Told him then, that his name would
Be had for either bad, or good.

Many years had passed, while he grew
A mighty man from simple youth
As Intent was Proved and heart shone pure
The Lord through him His Church restored

And at that point, there came to rest,
A Prophet's Mantle on Joseph's Breast
