A painter's canvas, clean and bright

Seeks out new colors, once was white;

A vibrant gold and navy blue,

The colors of our sisters true;

But each unique and special hue

Creates a sacred, matchless view;

A painting part of history,

Sisters of Relief Society

CHORUS:

The Master's canvas is beautiful,

It warms my heart, it stirs my soul,

This sisterhood it represents,

To magnify His love, His love.

I stand amazed from my grand view,

This work of art, so pure and new;

I gaze upon, the worth it holds,

The Master's hand, His love unfolds;

We're meant to share this love divine,

The love that stands the test of time;

As caring hands reach to embrace,

See smiles upon each sister's face.

CHORUS

The name I call this masterpiece,

Is one that makes one whisper sweet;

Two words that mean love, charity,

Is my "Relief Society."

Is my "Relief Society."
