Beside a very drunken lord.
He knew his people long would live
But to a war their lives would give.
An angel told him "slay that man,
And take his sword into your land.
Your people need his plates of brass
To teach their kids about the past."
He slew the man and took his clothes,
Rich garb he wore from head to toes.
To Laban's servant, Nephi ran
And got the scriptures from the man.
But with the sword what should he do?
The weapon would bring swords anew.
And with these swords much death would come.
He prayed, God said "One battle's done.
"This sword one day will do more good
Than riches, gold, or bounteous food."
Then Nephi took the sword a plates
And exited the city gates.
