Nephi’s Courage · ”I will go; I will do the thing the Lord commands. I know the Lord provides a way; he wants me to obey.”

Nephi’s Courage Text & Music: Bill N. Hansen, Jr. & Lisa T. Hansen

The Lord commanded Nephi to go

and get the plates

from the wicked Laban inside

the city gates.

Laman and Lemuel were both

afraid to try.

Nephi was courageous.

This was his reply:

”I will go; I will do the thing the Lord

commands.

I know the Lord provides a way;

he wants me to obey.”

The Lord commanded Nephi to go and build

a boat.

Nephi’s older brothers believed

it would not float.

.

Laughing and

mocking, they said

he should not try.

Nephi was courageous. This was his reply:

”I will go; I will do the thing the Lord

commands.

I know the Lord provides a way;

he wants me to obey.”

The Lord gives us commandments

and asks us to obey.

Sometimes I am tempted to choose

another way.

When I’m discouraged, and think I cannot try,

I will be courageous, and I will reply:

“I will go; I will do the thing the Lord

commands.

I know the Lord provides a way;

he wants me to obey.”
