Warrior of Truth

Warrior of Truth
(based on D&C 27)

Serving the Lord is a noble call
A warrior of Truth standing so tall

Having your “loins girt about with truth”
And a “breastplate of righteousness” formed in your youth

Your feet you have “shod with the gospel of peace”
You’ve a “shield of faith” you must never release

Along with a “helmet of salvation”, you raise
The “sword of my Spirit” to conquer each day

The Comforter’s presence will always be near
Even in times of trial, heartache, or fear

As you earnestly teach, taking a stand
 You’ll seek out His children upon this new land

Your “armor” is whole and tempered by Love
As you faithfully serve your Father, above

You know the Truth, you’ve heard the Lord’s call
Go, serve him with Honor, and give Him your all

The Call (modified)

The Call



A call has come
To serve the Lord
To spread the Gospel
To all the world


Cherish this moment
Holding tight to the rod
His Spirit will guide you
Oh, Child of God


Your calling is noble
Your nature Divine
You heed Holy promptings
You learn line upon line

You join in the ranks
Of the noblest of youth
You march forth in glory
As a soldier of truth

You seek to bring hope
To souls lost in despair
 You seek to bring Light
As the “good news” you share

Serving with honor
With a prayer in your heart
Will bring blessings unmeasured
As you do your part

As you follow the Savior
He will reap what you sow
Not all will be easy
But hard times help you grow

Go – spread seeds of the gospel
You’ve prepared yourself well
Keeping close to His Spirit
There’s no way you can fail
