Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time there was a mighty army.
A mighty army of great strength and courage.
A more impressive army the world has never seen.
They, with the mental and moral strength to
Persevere brought about many miracles.
They had trust and love in their Superiors,
Obedience without question.
They were diligent in all things commanded them.

The cry of “Never, never, never give up” filled
Their ranks.
When the path became steeper
One step at a time they did push onward.
They did strive to meet their goal.

Fear and uncertainty are replaced by our most
Powerful source of courage.
They doubt not, they fear not,
They face the Foe head on.
The promise that their Lord will not fail
Then fills their view.

Once upon a time promises something.
Great adventure, true love, sorrow, pain and overcoming.
Once upon a time promises adversity.
Once upon a time promises a happily ever after.

This mighty army is that of strong, valiant,
Virtuous young women.
Sent forth at this time to stand in righteousness
Next to our worthy priesthood holders.

We are elect ladies.
Literally royal daughters
Born to be queens.

Look into the mirror of eternity.
See yourself as your Father sees you.
Deep beauty comes through emulating Christ.
Deep beauty shines from the inside out.
Deep beauty is the only beauty that matters.
The only beauty that lasts.

We, the elect women of the Lord must
Never, never, never give up.
We go through trials and adversity
Because it is said opposition in all things.
We can choose to become stronger and
Experience joy through that great all-knowing
Teacher – Affliction
We must not only endure it but endure it well.
We can find rest in the Lord.

We, the rising generation must look with
Faith down the straight and narrow.

We will find our Happily Ever After
By reaching our Eternal Goal.
