Book of Mormon Stories/The Gold Plates
[Part I: Book of Mormon Stories]
[Intro]
Given this land, if they lived righteous—
[Verse 1]
Book of Mormon stories that my teacher tells to me
Are about the Lamanites in ancient history
Long ago, their fathers came from far across the sea
Given this land, if they lived righteously (Righteously)
[Verse 2]
Lamanites met others who were seeking liberty
And the land soon welcomed all who wanted to be free
Book of Mormon stories say that we must brothers be
Given this land, if we live righteou—
[Part II: The Gold Plates]
[Verse 3]
The Golden Plates lay hidden deep in the mountainside
Until God found one faithful in whom He could confide
A record made by Nephi, written in days of old
Now in The Book of Mormon, the story is retold
(In this land, if they lived righteously)
[Part III]
[Verse 4]
Once two thousand sons of God were called to fight the foe (Called to fight the foe)
Marching as an army into battle they did go (Battle they did go)
They believed that Christ the Lord their guardian would be
They had learned they should live righteously (Righteously)
[Bridge]
Book of Mormon stories that my teacher tells to me (Righteously)
The Golden Plates lay hidden deep in the mountainside
[Verse 5]
After Christ was crucified and died for you and me
He came forth to teach the truth to all who would be free
Hands were laid upon each child, He blessed them tenderly
And they lived in the land righteously (Righteously)
[Outro]
Book of Mormon stories that my teacher tells to me (Righteously)
The Golden Plates are hidden deep in the mountainside
Given this land, if we live righteously
