Heroes and Heroines: President Ezra Taft Benson

A special verse written for Ezra Taft Benson sung to "Follow the Prophet":

Dear President Benson

Warned us about pride.

Read the Book of Mormon,

He said 'til he died.

It will strengthen lives

And testimonies too.

If you read and study,

You will know it's true.
