In the heart of Provo, a cherished figure stood,  

The old temple, a landmark, a beacon of good.  

Known as the “spaceship” and “cupcake” alike,  

Its whimsical form sparked joy and delight.  

Yet now, a transformation unfolds before our eyes,  

The Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple will rise.  

This moment is more than change; it’s a call to embrace,  

The promise of a future, a sacred space.  

As the foundation is laid and the spire reaches high,  

Let us rejoice in the journey, let our spirits fly.  

For within these new walls, a sanctuary shall grow,  

A place for our dreams, where love and faith flow.  

While we may feel sorrow for what once held our gaze,  

Let us open our hearts to the newness that stays.  

Imagine the lives touched, the solace we’ll find,  

In this temple of hope, where the spirit is entwined.  

The petitions of the past echo in our minds,  

But now it’s our time to forge bonds that bind.  

Together, we can nurture this vision so bright,  

Creating a future that radiates light.  

In unity, we gather, with reverence and grace,  

With eyes lifted upward, let’s honor this place.  

For each new brick laid is a testament true,  

To the power of faith and the love that we’ll pursue.  

Let us celebrate this change, for it opens the door  

To new beginnings, new stories, and so much more.  

With each prayer and each hope, together we’ll rise,  

Embracing the future beneath boundless skies.
