I Heard the Prophet Speak

Music from the New Era (1971–2020), Jun 1996, p. 10

Arranger: James C. Kasen

1. I heard the prophet speak: “The time has come to stand.” To keep the faith with courage, do good with heart and hand. Do good with heart and hand.

Yes, I will follow the prophet. I have no need to fear; for as I follow the prophet, I can feel the Savior near.

2. I heard the prophet speak. And peace has filled my heart. The kingdom’s moving forward; I’ll stand and do my part. I’ll stand and do my part.

Yes, I will follow the prophet. I have no need to fear; for as I follow the prophet, I can feel the Savior near.

3. I heard the prophet speak, with blessings on us all, that as we walk in faith, the Lord will hear our call. The Lord will hear our call.

Yes, I will follow the prophet. I have no need to fear; for as I follow the prophet, I can feel the Savior near.
