The Rising

I have always loved music, and the prophet Joesph Smith. So music about Joesph Smith is really great. One song that I really like is the "Rising" by Nashville Tribute. It really makes me wonder how when things got the best they also got the worst. As the Heavens sent out revelations the gates of Hell sent its worst slander. I know Joesph was a Prophet called of God to begin the Latter-Day work. He isn't a perfect, and had flaws (the only one who didn't was Jesus Christ). But prophets are imperfect people called to do a perfect work.



I told my mother what troubled my heart
I saw the worry as she took me in her arms
I told the preacher, and he looked at me
And I saw the rising that never let me be

Oh the rising
From weak things the great things
Are rising, rising
The persecution, the spirit, the peace

The spirit of God like a fire it spread
Calling the nations put a price upon our heads
Running through darkness and running to light
Praying on our knees for one more day every night

I don’t know all the answers but I do my best
To live up to the rising that won’t let me rest

Oh the rising…
