Here is a poem that came out when I couldn't sleep and was thinking about an earlier attempt at writing a hymn for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, of which I am a member.
Learning and Growing
Learning and growing are part of life's purpose,
Even when happiness seems far away.
Peace in this life comes from completely accepting
The plan of our Savior, beginning His way.
Jesus desires to teach us and guide us,
He will protect us as we find our way.
When evil conquers it cannot remain long,
If faced with commitment and faith in the Lord.
Confidence, trust in our saving Companion,
Is what will enable our learning His Word.
Jesus desires to teach us and guide us,
He will protect us as we find our way.
We are making another hymnbook, and I think I'll submit it. See https://www.lds.org/church/news/church-announces-plans-for-new-hymnbook-and-childrens-songbook?lang=eng.
