Profile of a Prophet-Ask of God

Profile of a Prophet

Ask of God

About the Song

Lyrics

Profile of a Prophet is a multimedia presentation

based on Hugh B. Brown's talk on the subject of characteristics of a prophet, and contains a brilliant

analysis comparing Joseph Smith's prophetic calling to other men who are considered to be prophets of the Lord.

Profile of a Prophet is produced in a courtroom setting with the Prophet Joseph Smith on trial.

Ask of God is one of the original songs for this play.

Ask of God Sheet Music

I hear the people calling,

Look here!

A multitude of voices

Look here!

I hear the Spirit whisper

Just read.

The books of holy scripture

seem to call to me.

What is to be done?

I wonder.

What am I to do?

I cry.

Who is right?

I ponder.

Is the truth to be found

Here at all.

I see different religions

And no small stir;

While ev'ry group's contending

To have the truth.

I see the words of scripture

Are there any among you

Who lack wisdom,

Ask of God!

Who giveth to all men

And abraideth not.

Ask of God!

How I've reflected,

Reflected on these words.

For how to act I do not know.

I do not know.

I feel the darkness gather

A war of words begins.

While all men strive to have their opinions heard.

I feel the scriptures enter

With such great force

Into the feelings

Of my heart.

Ask of God!

Who giveth to all men

and abraideth not.

Ask of God!

How I've reflected

On these words

For how to act

I do not know.

I will ask of God!
