" Why seest thou this man, and hearest him revile against this people and against our law?"
Helaman 8:2
When we see and hear the prophet of the living Lord,
it might be his words are not too gentle, but a sword.
If all we want is honey drizzled on our impure ears,
we might end our lives in naught but ashes and salt tears.
The kindly words soft-spoken by our prophet here today
still contain stern warning that we'd better mend our way.
Because if we don't harken to his gentle spirit now,
like Nephites our bruised heads in sorrow we may someday bow.
