Song background:

My Temple Recommend  is taken from a collection of songs called The Prophets Songbook which contains 17 songs of  our modern-day prophets and themes from their presidency. This song was written to highlight a teaching of President Howard W. Hunter.  He said, "What a glorious thing it is for us to have the privillege of going to the temple for our own blessings. Then after going to the temple for our own blessings, what a glorious privilege to do the work for those who have gone before us." 

Then he said, "I repeat what I have said before: It would please the Lord for every adult member to be worthy of, and to carry, a current temple recommend. 

No matter how old we are we should be excited to have our own current temple recommend.

Lyrics: Angels guard the temple,
And they watch over me.
When I have a temple recommend,
I'll serve there faithfully.
I want a temple recommend to enter the House of the Lord.
Some day I'll go there worthily
Making promises and keeping my word.

I will for for loved one,
Who have gone on before.
I'll remember and I'll serve them;
Open the Celestial door.

I want a temple recommend to enter the House of the Lord.
Someday I'll go there worthily
Making promises and keeping my word.

There endowed with power
From His heavenly hands,
I'll create a fam'ly oneness,
Part of Father's perfect plan.
I want a temple recommend to enter the House of the Lord.
Someday I'll go there worthily,
Making promises and keeping my word.
