The Scriptures Say

Reverently

1. When the Savior lived in heaven

Before the world began,

He promised He would die for us

As part of Father’s plan.

The scriptures say He would save us

As part of Father’s plan.

2. When the Savior lived on earth,

He taught us we must give.

By serving us and loving us

He showed us how to live.

The scriptures say He loved us

And showed us how to live.

3. When the Savior came to earth

To visit Lehi’s lands,

He spoke, He taught, He healed the sick

With gentle, wounded hands.

The scriptures say He blessed them

With gentle wounded hands.

4. When the Savior comes to earth

In majesty and might,

He’ll gather us at His right hand

To live in joy and light.

The scriptures say He will save us

To live in joy and light.
