The Lord Gave Me a Temple

1. The Lord gave me a temple to live within on earth. Once in Heaven I was spirit, but I left my home at birth. I’ll make my temple brighter; I’ll keep my spirit free. My body is the temple my Father gave to me.

2. If I keep my body clean and pure and habit-free, I may in Father’s temple claim blessings promised me. On resurrection morning, I’ll take my body bright And in celestial glory forever live in light.
