Stake Conference

Retired early to my bed

Long message in my head

Wake up early, be not weary,

Invigorate my soul, instead.

A tender moment in my youth

Learning to live with manner and cooth.

The hardest years of adolescence,

Trying to find the hidden truth.

Sons and daughters of the fold,

Brothers and Sisters, true and bold

With love in heart and faith in hand

These gentle people shall not grow old.

Find the keys to my solution

Clear my mind of world's pollution

I'm searching for the final answer,

The one to give my restitution.

Evil spreads through foreign lands

Have no fear, the Lord commands.

Trust in Me and keep the faith

and against the vile you will stand.
