As I have noted on my biography, I am a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Last night, the world was informed at the passing of our dear president and prophet, Gordon B Hinckley. I enjoyed listening to his explanations of the plain and simple things of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and knew from the first time I heard him that I was listening to a true follower of Jesus Christ, an honest and sincere Man of God. If you have not had the pleasure of reading his teachings, go to http://www.lds.org and look for articles in our library online to read anything you can find from him. There are recordings of conference talks and their are magazine articles he has written that explain and inspire everyone to live worthily for Christ.
After hearing of my beloved prophets passing, I wrote the following in his honor. I hope that it cheers the LDS members to remember him and honor him. God Bless.
The Prophet Returns
By Angela M Working
Jan 27, 2008
A man of faith and virtue
A man of love and peace
He binds the wounds and heals you
He bids your sorrows cease
With a smile and wink he greets you
Friend or stranger alike
As long as you're with him
You feel the LORD's Love, Grace, and Light
Darkness veils my eyes
My prophet found his way
Grief fills the earth because
the LORD called him home today
The angels in heaven rejoice
as they lead my prophet home
as the sons of men grieve
for their beloved one
Silence fills the night sky
Stillness in the air
All of creation cries
He'll be missed everywhere
Tears of sorrow at his passing
Silent grief and pain
Will one day turn to rejoicing
when he returns with Christ to reign!
My heart goes out to the family, and also to the Counselors and Apostles, and all who were
closest to him. May God grant each of us grace and peace as we say goodbye to our beloved leader, prophet, and dearest friend. God Bless! ~Angela
