1. Who’s on the Lord’s side? Who?
Now is the time to show.
We ask it fearlessly:
Who’s on the Lord’s side? Who?
We wage no common war,
Cope with no common foe.
The enemy’s awake;
Who’s on the Lord’s side? Who?
[Chorus]
Who’s on the Lord’s side? Who? Now is the time to show.
We ask it fearlessly:
Who’s on the Lord’s side? Who?
2. We serve the living God,
And want his foes to know
That, if but few, we’re great;
Who’s on the Lord’s side? Who?
We’re going on to win;
No fear must blanch the brow.
The Lord of Hosts is ours;
Who’s on the Lord’s side? Who?
Chorus
3. The stone cut without hands
To fill the earth must grow.
Who’ll help to roll it on?
Who’s on the Lord’s side? Who?
Our ensign to the world
Is floating proudly now.
No coward bears our flag;
Who’s on the Lord’s side? Who?
Chorus
4. The pow’rs of earth and hell
In rage direct the blow
That’s aimed to crush the work;
Who’s on the Lord’s side? Who?
Truth, life, and liberty,
Freedom from death and woe,
Are stakes we’re fighting for;
Who’s on the Lord’s side? Who?
Chorus

Leadership: Come prepared to share your favorite part of what you have written in Write Your Own Story.

Write and mail or deliver two thank you notes for Christmas gifts or other kindnesses shown to you recently. In your note, be sure to mention the specific gift and why you like it or how you have or will use it. Bonus: draw a picture of you using the gift or of you and the giver and include it with your note.

Here are some helpful hints:

Address the recipient with their proper name. Whether it’s “Mrs.,” Mr.,” “Ms.,” Miss,” or simply the first name of their friend, it’s important to practice the etiquette of proper titles.
Start the letter with a greeting. Greeting may include “To,” “For,” “Dear,” or simply the name of the recipient.
Start the letter by saying thank you. This is the important phrase for a thank you note so you don’t want to leave it off the letter.
Describe what you’re thankful for. Call out the gift or service that they gave you. Tell them how that gift or service made you feel. Was it fun? Helpful? Cute? Be as descriptive as possible. Tell the recipient what you will use it for in the future.
Use a sign off. Sign offs may include things like “Thanks again,” “Love,” or From,” depending on your relationship to the recipient.
Sign your name. Do you best to make it as legible as possible.
Have a parent help you fill out the envelope with an address, name, stamp, and return label before mailing them out.
