D. Todd Christofferson
Joy comes from keeping Christ’s commandments, from overcoming sorrow and weakness through Him, and from serving as He served.
D. Todd Christofferson
Steady on, my headstrong soul;
to Christ alone I cede control.
To learn submissiveness I need
obedience in word and deed.
When sorrow weakens my belief,
to Him I turn for whole relief.
I'll strive forevermore to serve
as did He with love and verve.
Sometimes I quail before the task;
have patience, Lord, is all I ask.
Profitless as servant, surely;
still, I'll strive both late and early!
