CELEBRATE THE MAN
A celebration for Joseph who restored truth and light,
When fourteen he had a vision glorious and bright,
Bringing, step by step, the gospel perfect in every way,
And the truth is spreading farther every single day.
He suffered trials and tribulations but never did deny
The things he knew to be true for which he did die,
The Book Of Mormon and other scriptures too
Were given by God through his hands for me and you.
He was just a human being, chosen by God in love
To bring forth the knowledge to gain heaven above,
Every full aspect of the gospel leaves no one out,
We know the plan of heaven and for joy should shout.
A man of honour, and of faith, a man whom God did commune
And in his tender heart for hate and evil there was no room
He was martyred by the hands of evil men, but his work complete,
He brought forth all the knowledge so we can meet at Jesus feet.
