Three Special Names
By Sister Brianna Brough
I have a special nametag that I must always wear
Identifying who I am and the message that I share.
Each day I wear this nametag for everyone to see
On it is three special names that mean a lot to me.
The first is from my father, it is my family name.
I strive to live up to it, and not bring any shame.
There is a reputation of what it means to be a Brough
It’s putting trust in the Lord, especially when it’s tough.
It’s having faith and pushing through and giving it your all
It’s never once giving up, and rising when you fall.
The second name is of my Church; it’s who I represent.
It’s the message that I carry and the reason I was sent.
It’s the Church of Jesus Christ here in the latter-days
We learn of His teachings; we follow in His ways.
The third is of my Savior, the one whom God did send
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, my brother and my friend.
All of this I do for him, because of what He’s done for me
Throughout my life, on the cross, and in Gethsemane.
He suffered and He died for me, my burdens he did bear
And now in return He’s asked that I His message share.
He’s done so much in by behalf; it’s the least that I could do
So now I’ll share the gospel to these blessed chosen few.
So there they are, three names, three stories, three different parts of me
Showing others who I am, and all that they can be.
So, I wear this special name tag, it’s simple, small and black
It gives me faith and hope and strength and the courage that I lack.
They are not just names to me; it’s who I am and what I do
Because knowing who I am, gives me hope and gets me through.
