1. When Joseph prayed in a grove called Sacred
He had a simple task
To know which of the sects was right
Was all he wished to ask
2. When Joseph prayed in a grove called Sacred
The devil tried to win
But could not stop the great event
That happened then
3. When Joseph prayed in a grove called Sacred
He saw a brilliant light
Our Holy God and Jesus Christ
Came clothed in purest white
4. When Joseph prayed in a grove called Sacred
To serve was his great call
To once again bring back the church
That saves the souls of all
5. When Joseph prayed in a grove called Sacred
World history was made
God's kingdom on the earth once more
Because one young boy prayed Story:
"When Joseph Prayed In A Grove Called Sacred" (Summer 2009)
After winning in the hymn text category in the 2009 church music contest with "Lord Grant Me Breath," I guess it's okay to say I'm pretty good with lyrics! :) I always loved when President Hinckley would refer to the area of Joseph Smith First Vision as "the grove called Sacred," so I wrote some hymn lyrics quickly one afternoon to parallel the famous hymn in the hymnbook. Incidentally, my wife was asleep when I wrote them down, so I didn't have access to a notebook...so I wrote the words on a napkin! :) I'm JK Rowling!
