Supporting Role

I just wrote the following about Supporting Missionary Work---so important for each of us to do.

There are many times in life
We need to do our part.
Just listen to these words
And I’ll tell you how to start.
There’s one that’s so important - - -
To support a sacred work –
When you share the Gospel
You’ll do your part and never shirk.
There are many different ways
That you can lend a hand
One is prayer for the one
Who is searching how to stand.
Another is to live your life
So that in your face they’ll see
The happiness the gospel brings
As you live mortality.
Now, if you read the scriptures
And do it with a prayer
You’ll hear your Father tell you
How to really show you care.
For if you love the Gospel
You’ll want to share with all
So, look toward the pure in heart
Because they’re waiting for your call.
Imagine how your life would be
Not knowing why you’re here
Now, share the Gospel with another
To take away their fear.
Call on the missionaries
They’re here to serve and give
Create a new oasis
As you share the life you live.
When you wake up in the morning
Ask Father what to do
Because he has some errands
He is saving just for you.
Live your daily life as though
You were on a mission now
You’ll never know whom you might meet
If the spirit you’ll allow.
Don’t give it a second thought
Just embrace this and you’ll see
That you will leave a footpath
For your eternal legacy.
