Sonnet 812 D&C 82:10 #2

God keeps a promise. That's just how He is
His word is good. His bond a binding sure
The covenants that matter are all His
The promised blessings open and secure.

Do as I say, He says, and so it is
The burden of decision falls to you
The real rewards that matter are all His
His blessings ascertained by what you do.

The promise of a man is what he is
His character determined by his bond
The measure and the means supremely his
To settle where he fits in life beyond.

If you won't keep a promise here below
Then heaven's is not the place you're bound to go.
