AUTHOR PSALM

AUTHOR PSALM

They wrote so we would know they lived –
The record is their breath –
The words they leave are monuments
Until they rise from death.

The works they seal in documents
Are candles in the dark –
Are storage in the granary –
Are manna in the ark.

REPENTANCE PSALM

REPENTANCE PSALM (Virtue Value 4)

To be more pure and worthy:
I’ll turn my thoughts from pride –
I’ll magnify my talents –
I’ll beautify inside –
I’ll walk above my weakness –
I’ll look upon the heart –
I’ll worship in the Temple –
I’ll strive to do my part.

COMPANIONSHIP PSALM

COMPANIONSHIP PSALM (Virtue Value 2)

I learned the Spirit yearns to dwell
In Tabernacles clean
So that the Holy Ghost may shine –
So He can intervene
To help us call a friend in need –
To teach us how to pray –
So we can serve our neighbors well
And know what words to say.

STANDARDS PSALM

STANDARDS PSALM (Virtue Value #1)

I promise to sanctify mind and thought –
I promise to live the good words I’m taught –
I promise to lift a banner of gold –
I’ll represent Virtue – gentle but bold.

I’ll seek to be trustworthy – moral – true –
I’ll try to remember what Christ would do –
I’ll honor commitments so I can be
An angel whose dowry is charity.

The blessings of chastity – clean and pure –
Are manifest – manifold – clear and sure –
Protection from danger – freedom from fear –
Wisdom – not blindness – discernment – to hear

The forthcoming promises dear and real:
The gift to be healed and the gift to heal.
