Truth Restored

Shane Brown 1976 (Utah)

In our days of the perils of men,
Truth sent to man was lost and bent.
This called for a restoration as before,
With all the gifts of life and truth restored.

The Lord teaches us to learn, pray and obey.
One young boy sought to partake of grace,
From the Good Book he earnestly came,
Into the woods to inquire upon God’s name.

In this glorious manifestation received,
Was a divine message enveloping.
God then called upon His Beloved Son, saying,
"Hear Him," Whose countenance was as lightening.

In restoring all as at first,
God has brought forth truth from the earth.
His call to all is now heard.
It is the pearl of greatest worth.

Chorus 1:
Come to Zion and rejoice!
Come listen to a prophet’s voice!
All saints rise up to stand worthy!
We are not to fear the ungodly!

No eye has seen, nor ear heard,
Nor heart conceived, the plans reserved,
For those who love, and minister,
For we need no longer roam as strangers.

This life is our blessed time of test,
To prove true to His very best!
Those found on the left of God rebellious,
While those on His right hand, made glorious!

Let us press on with the faithful,
As we joyfully unify, lift and live,
For at last the Lord will come with grace full,
To save, dry tears and recompense.

Come in, unto the supper table,
Drink and eat, the Savior's sacred offering.
Partake again, and He will make you able,
Beginning with your sacred, holy healing.

Chorus 2:
Come, follow the King of Kings in glorious covenant!
Enjoy the blessings of His eternal government!
He is the One we've been searching for!
The Messiah, Redeemer, Emmanuel and Lord!

I am a family man of God first and foremost. I love my wife, two sons and daughter very much.
