The Power to Change

Are there tears in me
For who I want to be?
Humbly in meek prayer,
I'll extend all energy.
With God's help I can abstain.
A new life I can obtain.
I will hold to the rod,
With my life close to God
Through His narrow paths I will trod.
 
Can these tears of mine
Cleanse all my soul and mind?
With the Spirit's help,
I'm Christ-like, with sins denied.
There's promise in Mormon's book,
The Spirit won't overlook.
I'll read it each new day.
And, hear what God does say.
Clean and brand new, for this I pray.


I've a new mission.
I have been commissioned.
I'll tell of God's love.
I will Help someone gain vision.
Through tear-filled eyes they can find
Their old sins are left behind.
I once was as a weed.
I now can plant His seeds.
With pure thoughts, I'll have nobler deeds.
-President Faust


I did not realize that President Faust had a talk that he intended to give in conference and that it was in the Ensign. How fitting to discover it just before New Years resolutions. I feel so blessed. I will do something I have always promised myself- I will write my goals in my christmas stocking and pack it away. And, I will write daily and try to not forget.
