FAMILIES ARE FOREVER

When seeing the eyes
feeling the soft smiles
the Spirit then cries
due to Satan's wiles.

So many soon forget
the journey just made
or the one still to beget
as if severed by a blade.

Families are forever true
but on conditions learned
ordinances needed to ensue
and covenants discerned.)

Yours, Mine, Ours
joined in a Temple
these marriage vows
blessings so ample.

Families are forever
the purpose of life
simple not very clever
a husband and wife.

Gathering generations
bringing together all
sealings and venerations
thus honoring this call.

Family history's one
finding the black sheep
all get the work done
for those still in sleep.

Yours, mine, ours still
feeling promptings fair
doing the Father's will
eternal life to share.

We're waiting for you
why do you so delay
we've been ever true
please begin this day!

Having gone on before
protecting liberties free
knowing what's in store
please try this to see!

Paving the way clearly
you've easy work to do
we've paid so dearly
please our work pursue!

Now waiting at the door
long lines help needing
the faithful and the poor
our pleas be heeding!

Families are forever
how can this be so
really simple not clever
to the Temple must go.

Authority once removed
again now on Earth
communications improved
souls can have new birth.

The beguiling of evil
teaches otherwise yes
this goal of the devil
making life a guess.

Torn the truth from all
restored again at last
please hear our call
don't forget those past!)

Genealogy work is done
giving one and all a chance
for this blessing to be won
truth forever to enhance.

Temples dot the earth
worthiness is required
Salvations Plan's worth
from Father so inspired.

Understand the scripture
fearing not but embracing
learning all that's pure
forgetfulness then erasing.
