When I See the Temple

By John V. Pearson

When I see the temple,

I think of Jesus Christ.

I think of what He’s done for me

And how He gave His life.

I think of Heav’nly Father,

And I know who I am.

I know that I’m His child;

I love His gospel plan.

When I see the temple,

I want to enter in.

If this is Heavenly Father’s house,

Could I go visit Him?

I’ll keep the Lord’s commandments—

I promise to be clean,

So I may enter in His house—

It’s where I want to be!
