. . . and ye know that by his word he can cause the rough places to be made smooth, and smooth places shall be broken up. O, then, why is it, that ye can be so hard in your hearts?
1 Nephi 17:46
The hardness of the world broke in
and commandeered my soul;
til then, a child, I knew great love
from God and was kept whole.
But obstinate I gradually grew
and error pulled the strings,
until a captive I was led
by lust for earthly things.
But then the word of God appeared,
as sunlight after storm,
and roughness turned to silken joy,
and my cold heart grew warm.
Today the God of Miracles
alone I do obey.
His love for me a marvel
that no wonder can outweigh.
