Whose Side are You on?

Here's my "Sunday Thought"

Anticipation, a moment of tears
A hopeful good-bye as we left heaven's spheres
A heartfelt promise to chose him again
To resist Satan's tempting, and the carnal man.
Then the veil was drawn and we seemed to forget,
We soon broke our promise and had need to repent.
So he sent us our brother to help save our souls
And though he was mocked, with his blood he atoned.
But soon after his death, we again forgot
We used wrongly the agency for which we had fought
His words were twisted, His power was lost
His ways were perverted, and men’s souls became tossed
Until, to a boy with the courage to ask
He revealed the truth, and restored powers past
He returned His power to the hands of men
He's revealed His will to His servants, and yet
How oft do we follow, how oft do we stray?
How oft do we forget the promise we've made?
His power is with us, his gospel and church
Are here for our benefit, if we'll but put him first
No power can conquer, no lies can defame
Disciples who follow, and fight in his name.
And when the tallies are counted, and the battle is won
God will prevail, whose side are you on?
