Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. I see our Bishop ev’ry week He always smiles and stops to speak. He loves the children in our ward And shows us how to serve the Lord.
2. Our Bishop is both kind and good He helps us to do the things we should. He takes the time to say “hello” And shake my hand. I love him so.
