SPECIAL OCCASION COLLECTION
The Fire of the Covenant
A few years ago, my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to organize a special week-long experience for the teenagers at our church. The theme of the event was, “Let the Fire of the Covenant Burn Like a Flame.” Our goal was to create outdoor experiences that would help these special young people feel the Gospel of Jesus Christ burn in their hearts. It was an incredible experience. I wrote this song to be our theme song. You can hear their beautiful voices on the recording. This song can help any group of young people feel the fire of God’s love burning inside them.
Lyrics
There was a sound rising high above the plains.
Gentle voices were singing songs of praise.
And there were prayers carried forth upon the wind
With nothing left they still kept their faith in Him.
Their hope was brighter than the fire of
Cruel and angry men;
Their love was deeper than the snow
And stronger than the wind.
The fire of the covenant they made
Burned in their hearts like a flame.
Unwavering, unquenchable,
Undimmed by the night.
The fire of the covenant burned bright.
There was a shout heard above the bitter storm
From faithful where they would build up a Saints
Who had come to take them home.
Place of peace and love
And raise a temple
To bind our souls as one.
The storms will come
And sin will rage
And enemies deride.
Hold on they way, be not afraid,
For God is on they side.
The fire of the covenant they made
Burned in their hearts like a flame.
We are the youth of the great and final days.
Armed with truth and a legacy of faith.
And we will rise up and shine the light He gives
And with the Saints we will testify:
He lives He lives!
The fire of the covenants we make
Burn in our hearts like a flame.
We’ll keep the fire burning bright.

A week ago today, I was on trek at Martin's Cove. While there, we heard this song. On the entire trek, this song was on my mind. Makes me very emotional and very grateful for those pioneers. What a great song and legacy they lived. :) this song makes me tear up.

My wife and I served a mission in Martin's Cove. Returned last September. I still cry each time I hear this song.
