My mouth is open

 And thou must open thy mouth at all times, declaring my gospel with the sound of rejoicing. Amen.   Doctrine & Covenants. 28:16

My mouth is open; I rejoice
that God will let me use my voice
to praise His works and testify
that only He can sanctify.

Not for me, a doleful face
when I am running in the race
of life because my Savior sees
I go the quickest on my knees.

I've left behind the darkness cold
and wish to state it very bold
that goodness, mercy, even glee,
overflow in God's bounty!
