LEAP OF FAITH

 

 

“Somewhere in your quest for spiritual knowledge, there is that ‘leap of faith’; as the philosophers call it. It is the moment when you have gone to the edge of the light and stepped into the darkness to discover that the way is lighted ahead for just a footstep or two. ‘The spirit of man’, as the scripture says, indeed ‘is the candle of the Lord’ (Proverbs 20:27).”

-        Elder Boyd K. Packer, “The Candle of the Lord”, Ensign January 1983, p 54-55

 

I will follow Thee my God and My All

When I can see no more;

I will trust in Thee

When all hope flees;

I will praise Thy name

When I am left without ease.

 

I will nurture the seeds of my faith

With tears of my affliction;

Yet will I look up to heaven

And believe in Thy throne;

I will trust in the strength of Thine arms

To lift me and carry me home.

SACRED PROMISE

 

I prayed in faith

That you would save me

From the river of my tears.

 

You took my soul and wiped it clean

Of the ruin of my life in agony,

And You promised I’ll be more than I could be

If I look toward eternity.

 

I look to You in every thought

And surrender all my fears;

Your sacred promise like a flame

Locked in my heart these many years.
