71. Seek the Spirit
There are, oh, so many voices,
In this world that’s sick with sin.
That it’s hard to hear that still, small voice,
That whispers deep within.
There are voices that come from above,
And others from below.
But there’s one that’s different from the rest,
That you should come to know.
It is called the Holy Spirit,
And it’s sent by God to man
To those who truly love their Lord,
And follow Father’s plan.
You will feel it as you fast and pray,
Or serve the poor or ill.
You will lose it, if you choose to sin,
And defy the Father’s will.
And while the vulgar will not hear,
This Spirit that you seek.
His Voice is known to humble souls--
The righteous and the meek.
Then, oh, the miracles you’ll see,
The wondrous things you’ll do.
When, pure and clean through Jesus Christ,
God’s Spirit works through you.

“There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world . . .”
Spencer W. Kimball, October 1974 Conference Reports
“Youth... are subjected to so many swirling winds that we sometimes wonder if they can survive. The winds of fashion push those about who are insecure and who require the feeling that they are in step with the crowd. The winds of sexual temptation drive some to...dash bright prospects or to degrade themselves. Bad companions, addicting drugs, the arrogance of profanity, the slough of pornography, all these and more act as influences pushing us, if we are not being carried forward by a strong steady current toward the righteous life.”
