The Man in White
Based on 3 Nephi 11
Mother, who is this Man in white?
He seems to have the sun inside him
And radiates its warmth and light...
He is the Son of God, my child,
It is his majesty you feel, his pure love for us.
Mother, do you hear him call us?
He asks us to come to him—
Hurry, hurry-- let us get closer to the dais...
His call is not to hurry, child, but to come
He will wait for us, never fear.
Mother, look, his hands are scarred!
Who dared wound God’s Almighty Son?
Why is he thus marred?
The scars are emblems of his gift for us,
He offers us power to become as he is...
Mother, did you feel his love
As we felt the imprint of the wounds?
Truly he is the Son of God above!
Yes, my child, he is our King—
Let us sit at his feet, as he bids, and listen to his words.
