Teach Me about the Temple Sheet Music & Lyrics
Teach Me about the Temple was published in the October 2017 Friend magazine. The lyrics reiterate that children have an innate desire to learn about the temple:
I see the light of the temple at night.
As it shines it reminds me
I must prepare so that I can go there,
And I need someone to guide me.
I see the light of the temple at night,
And its glow is a symbol,
Helping me think of the safety and peace
That come from the holy temple.
Please teach me about the temple.
Please show me how to prepare.
Then all of my life I will try
To be worthy to enter there.
Please teach me about the temple.
I want to know so that someday I may go.
