Seek to Find Forgiveness

By Elder Christopher James Miller

I went down to the river swimming in sin 

The Light did shine, but I wouldn’t let it in

Tried to find joy in unmentionable ways

This was a time in my dark dark days

Tried to stay up, but I sank back down

The river was a trap, I was gonna drown

I reached a hand into the light

Someone grabbed on, and held me tight

Pulled from the water and kept real safe,  

Tinkle in His eye, a smile on His face

I was consumed by His Light

He told me he loved me, and hugged tight

He told me His plan, and together we ran

On the narrow path, to the promised land

I fell back down, I got back up

He carried me along, He never gave up

He handed me a glass, a bitter cup

I took the glass, and drank it up

It stung real good, but I felt joy

I was no longer a foolish boy

I learned of love, and how to forgive

My life to this man, I will give

The past life I lived, was nothing fear

But through His plan, It was made clear

He is the light, He is the love

He is the joy, He is from above

Through his sacrifice, I found peace
