I may not be asked to build a great big ship

Or sail my family 'cross the ocean blue

But if I had the faith and courage Nephi did

Imagine all the great things I could go and do

The Lord has a special message for me

In every scripture story I read

And I can become who I'm striving to be

When I liken the scriptures to me

I may not raise a tent to hear the prophet speak

But I can listen when he speaks today

And I don't have a sword to bury ten feet deep

But I can cast my selfishness away

The Lord has a special message for me

In every scripture story I read

And I can become who I'm striving to be

When I liken the scriptures to me

Like Enos, I will fervently pray

Like the Stripling Warriors, I will obey

Like Abish, I will share what I know

And like Ammon, I'll go where I'm called to go

The Lord has a special message for me

In every scripture story I read

And I can become who I'm striving to be

When I liken the scriptures to me

When I liken the scriptures to me
