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.
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!
Ask of God!
Ask of God!
Who giveth to all men
And abraideth not.
Ask of God!
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!
Ask of God!
Who giveth to all men
and abraideth not.
Ask of God!
Ask of God!
How I've reflected
On these words
For how to act
I do not know.
I will ask of God!
