Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. I like my birthdays, ev’ry one; Each brings a greater joy to me. But I can’t wait until I’m eight, For then I’ll be baptized, you see.
2. To be baptized as Jesus was By one who holds the priesthood true And thus obey God’s holy laws Is just the thing I want to do.
3. When hands are laid upon my head, Then I’ll receive the Holy Ghost. And, if I listen carefully, I’ll have the blessing I need most.
