By Jonathan Whitcomb
I wrote “Come to Christ” over a period of weeks, in the middle of 2022, culminating in version #121, with most of the text taken from (or modified from) the Book of Mormon:
Press forward, feast on the word of Christ;
Behold you shall have eternal life.
Hold to the rod: the word of God;
Behold the tree of the love of God.We like sheep had gone astray,
to turn to wander far away.
Turn again. Turn to God.Behold my Son, my Beloved Son:
Come unto Him for eternal life.
Behold His hands, his feet and side:
For you he bled and died.Turn to Him. Come unto Christ.
Come to Him.

They heard His voice, a voice so mild.
It pierced them through and made their souls to quake.
They saw Him come, a man in white,
The Savior, who had suffered for their sake. . . .
