D&C 25:13

D&C 25:13
 13 Wherefore, lift up thy heart and rejoice, and cleave unto the covenants which thou hast made.

Sonnet 797 D&C 25:13

A life without a covenant is vain
Without a promise solemn made and kept
A life without commitment is profane
A waste, a loss, it's squandered and inept.

But covenants with God give life it's zest
A reach for something higher than your own
The way to rise triumphant in the test
A purpose and a sceptre and a throne.

So cleave unto your covenants with zeal
Rejoice to have great meaning and the means
To guide your heart and soul with such a keel
Against the winds of chance and change of scenes.

A kite can never fly without a string
And that's the sort of power that covenants bring.
