              Agency

In the lives of men move the hand of God
       and men are molded thereby;
But their right to choose He does not take.
       They choose the low or high.
Thus nations are born and they rise or fall
       influenced by His hand.
But the choice is theirs and the fault is theirs
       for the destiny of the land.
For men can think and choose and act
       of an independent will.
And all will find at the judgement seat
       that their deeds are with them still.

Full freedom comes with God’s own laws
       in the hearts of righteous men.
And just as surely slavery comes
       from Lucifer’s darkened den.
In the council of Gods, before the world,
       a choice was made by all.
And the rebel boast of Lucifer’s host
       was the cause of their awesome fall.
For a war was fought and the Dragon caught
       that freedom still might be.
The way of men as well as Gods,
       through all eternity.

As a thunderbolt the vanquished host
       fell their Heavenly Place.
Foregoing birth to the mortal earth
       to be the scourge of Adam’s race.
But freedom is not license to act
       and from consequence be free.
But to obey and keep the faith
       and thereby exalted be.
The wage of sin is death and worse;
       slavery to Hell’s dark horde.
But the proper use of our agency
       attunes us to the Lord.

Bishop Frank (Bud) James Morgan, May 1970    www.LDSCOPS.com
