Vicissitudes and Victories

Song Lyrics, "All Times, All Things, All Places"

I sang this song at EFY a few weeks ago, and its message has been motivating my life ever since.

"All of us who hold the priesthood are the Lord's authorized servants on the earth and are missionaries at all times and in all places--and we always will be. Our very identity as holders of the priesthood and the seed of Abraham is in large measure defined by the responsibility to proclaim the gospel."
(Elder David Bednar, October 2005)

It's not in the letter I can't wait to open,
It's not in the badge that will carry His name,
It's not going to grow in just three weeks of study,
Or magically come when I get on a plane.
So today I'm becoming who I'm meant to be:
The worthy, unshakeable witness He needs

At all times, all things, all places
I will sing and shout His praises
I will tell the whole world that I know what His grace is
At all times, in all things, in all places.

It comes as I study the words of the prophets
And think about all that those words mean for me.
As Abraham's son I am part of the promise
That all of the earth would be blessed by his seed.
I know what my Savior expects me to be:
The faithful, unchangeable witness He needs

Chorus

All eyes, all ears, all hearts, all faces.
All rich, all poor, all life, all ages.
All roads, all doors, all lands, all nations.
All earth, all kin, all tongues, all races

Chorus
