One By One - Poem
One By One
One by one God’s beloved son healed and blessed each one
Have ye one sick, lame, blind, one halt or any one maimed
person
Is there one leprous, withered, deaf or one afflicted in any
manner
For I have compassion, mercy and will heal, come bring each
one hither
No eye can see nor tongue repeat the marvelous things he
taught
Each saw His light, they felt His love, they witnessed and
none forgot
How deep is Christ’s love, how marvelous His power
How rich are His blessings, how great His desire
To fill one mind and heal one soul and mend one broken heart
Lifting each one toward Heaven’s home never again to part
One by one God’s beloved son held and blessed the children
He wept and prayed unto his Father and one by one he blessed
them
Look behold your little ones, they cast their eyes toward
heaven
And saw angel’s fiery light descend and encircle each little
one
No eye can see nor tongue repeat the marvelous things he
taught
Each saw His light, they felt His love, they witnessed and no
one forgot
How deep is Christ’s love, how marvelous His power
How rich are His blessings, how great His desire
To fill one mind and heal one soul and mend one broken heart
Lifting each one toward Heaven’s home never again to part
Jesus commanded twelve disciples to bring forth bread and
wine
He blessed and brake and one by one delivered emblems divine
This ye shall do in remembrance of my body and blood shed
That my Spirit may abide with you and testify, he said
No eye can see nor tongue repeat the marvelous things he
taught
Each saw His light, they felt His love, they witnessed and
never forgot
How deep is Christ’s love, how marvelous His power
How rich are His blessings, how great His desire
To fill one mind and heal one soul and mend one broken heart
Lifting each one toward Heaven’s home never again to part

Heavenly Father - Poem
Heavenly Father
Father omniscient in heaven and earth
Awakens each breath
and beating heart
His word molds mountains and skies above
While whispers the Spirit divine guidance and
love
Wondrous brilliance shines Kolob afar
Light carries and illuminates
each child star
Attentive, personal, individual care
For each godly
embryo journeying here
Righteous, evil, or teetering indecision
Receive equal
rights of agency, not coercion
Salvation, opposition, planned from the start
Gifting God’s Only
Beloved Son’s willing life and heart
Pruning, replanting, finding lost sheep
Wandering forgotten
rescued and received
Ordinance, covenants, power and glory
Bestowed essential
part of family’s final story
Restoration, resurrection, one eternal round
Salvation,
exaltation each generation bound
The last, the first, the many, the one
The father, the
mother, the daughter, the son
Elohim, Abba, Father of heaven and earth
All glory, all honor
for life’s birth and rebirth
Swell wide the heavens sing praises above
For Father whose
name is spoken with love
