1 Nephi Chapter 4

Nephi trusted God would lead
With this faith he did proceed
He was led to Laban's side
Nephi knew he must decide

Yet the Spirit bade him think
For without the plates, the link,
Precious teachings never taught
He must find what he has sought

He must slay this wicked man
He could stop the Gospel plan
There are laws which they must know
Nephi worked to make it so

Nephi dressed as Laban had
Then he found the scribe, a lad
He sent Zoram for the plates
They walked out, right through the gates

Nephi's brothers ran in fright
Then they heard his voice outright
Zoram ran and he was stopped
Giv'n the choice, he did adopt

1 Nephi Chapter 3

Lehi had a new command
That his sons go back, a band.
To Jerusalem for more
There the records kept in store

Nephi knew with God he could
Laman, Lemuel doubt he should
Righteous hands should hold the plates
Not the ones behind the gates

Nephi's faith did guide the way
When they fail, then he would pray
Nephi would not let down God
He was beaten with a rod

Angels came to stop the fight
Counseling it could be right
God had seen them try and fail
With God's help they would avail

1 Nephi Chapter 2

Lehi slept and had a dream
God commands-no glitter gleam
Take your family far away
It is not safe for you to stay

Pack your life, provisions, all
Jerusalem will surely fall
Older brothers do not care
For, to them, God is not there

Lehi taught with God's own voice
Laman and Lemuel had no choice
Murmurs stopped, the witness there
Nephi knelt in mighty prayer

God did bless him with his might
Nephi chose to choose the right
Though his brothers went astray
Nephi knew God was the way
