A Legacy of Love

I heard this song a few months back and i love it. it explains the purpose of Relief Society perfectly in my opinion. this is how it was on the program and so i am a little unsure of where the chorus ends and the next verse starts.


Early in the spring in Joseph's red brick store,
the prophet spoke in council to the sisters.
"Now I turn the key for women everywhere. Go forth and use your 
gifts to serve the Lord."
Chorus: A legacy of love, a society of sisters. We'll a friendly 
hand and try to understand and lift each soul to God.We will heal 
the wounded heart, offer comfort to the weary. We'll cherish one 
another; watch over one another; with hearts knit together in love.
"Charity is yours, it lies within your hearts. Compassion too, is 
there in ample measure.  Use these priceless gifts to lift and heal  the 
world. And this shall be your legacy from God."  A legacy of love. 
We'll reach out to one another.  To all those who've gone a stray 
we'll try to show the way. And lift each soul to God. We'll grow 
firmer  in our faith as we strive to serve God's children. We'll 
strengthen testimonies, and offer sweet  consoling, with hearts knit 
together in love. With the Prophet's words there came a promise sure, 
a promise that should fill our souls with comfort. Angels will draw 
near as we reach out in love and sanctify our service to the Lord.
