Up in heaven there was a war.
Our brother was the one
Who solved the problem
And gave us a choice.
We could either follow Him
Or follow Lucifer.
Most chose to follow Him.
And so it began...
He came down here to Earth,
And lived a perfect life.
He healed the sick
And caused the blind to see.
My brother in Heaven is oh-so-dear,
And I love Him ever so much.
He suffered for all our sins
And died upon the cross.
The people in this world were corrupt.
They didn't believe in Him
And didn't want to hear a word.
He just was hear to fulfill a promise.
So three days later
He disappeared from the tomb.
The people who loved Him panicked,
But then He just appeared.
He said to feel the holes in his hands
And the wound in his side.
Then He returned to the Father in Heaven.
And the Angels rejoiced.
They sang sweet songs of joy
And they praised His name.
They gathered around
And showered him in praise.
Now soon the time returns,
For us to see again
Just how much he loves us
When he comes down from Heav'n.
The Millenium is near
And shortly the time will come
For all to hear the praises we'll sing:
"Sweet Savior, Dear Redeemer!"

KokoluvsDaniel: So I'm Mormon and this picture was particularly touching to me. I love my religion and I love God and all that good stuff, so this was very awesome for me to write. It's a nice change from the usual. Thank you so much for the picture!!!
