We're going to the wilderness

And I spake unto him, even with an oath,
that he need not fear; that he should be a free man
like unto us if he would go down in the wilderness with us.

First Nephi. Chapter Four. Verse 33.

Life is full of twists and turns; it’s fluid as a stream.

It washes round our mundane plans like a vivid dream.

One day indentured years on end, the next completely free;

It happens to the best and worst -- to strangers and to me.

We’re going to the wilderness, to lands uncharted yet,

We’ll get there using many paths, in joy or in regret.

And promises along the way will come from God our King;

He can make the roadside green, from nettles take the sting.

So go down all ye sinners, and go down all ye saints;

No use to hesitate in fear, or think up thin complaints.

To crave the freedom that our God has promised one and all

Is what makes men and women stand up straight and true and tall.
