Reverence Is Love 

“Reverence Is Love,” Children’s Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 31

Reverently

Rev’rence is more than just quietly sitting:
It’s thinking of Father above,
A feeling I get when I think of his blessings.
I’m rev’rent, for rev’rence is love.
When I’m rev’rent, it shows in my words and my deeds.
The pathway to follow is clear.
And when I am rev’rent, I know in my heart
Heav’nly Father and Jesus are near.
