Valiant, Faithful Mothers

About the Song
Lyrics

Created for a Mother's Day program to be sung by the young men and women. It recounts the story of the two thousand striping warriors we read about in Alma 56:48 of the Book of Mormon. 

Two thousand stripling warriors

Speak as from the dust.

They rehearsed the story

That taught them perfect trust.

"The Lord will deliver you!"

This truth their mothers taught.

I was born in latter-days 

A mission to fulfill.

I've come to share the gospel,

I'll do my Father's will.

"The Lord will deliver me!" 

This truth my mother taught.

Valiant, faithful mothers

Thanks our voices raise.

The Lord needs righteous 

Mothers in ev'ry day and age.

By keeping the commandment,

With faith I'll doubt not!

I'll go forth in courage.

I'll live the way she's taught.

The Lord will deliver me.

This truth my mother taught.

Valiant, faithful mothers

In thanks our voices raise.

The Lord needs righteous mothers

In ev'ry day and age.

I will listen and obey.

I'll show her I've learned what she taught.

Valiant, faithful mothers 

In thanks our voices raise.

The Lord needs righteoug women

In every day and age.
