A friend of my daughter, who has been home from a mission for just over a year, posted the lyrics to I Am a Child of God on her Facebook page yesterday. She substituted her name for "I." It was a great reminder to me, that even in primary, we are being taught about The Plan of Salvation. Our little children are being told that they were sent her by Heavenly Father, so they knew him before. They were sent to families and will learn what they need to do to return to their Heavenly Father. It is a simple, beautiful reminder of the gospel truths that have been restored through modern day prophets.
We get to listen to our Prophet and other church leaders this weekend during General Conference. I am excited to hear their counsel and what the Lord wants us to learn.
I AM A CHILD OF GOD
1. I am a child of God,
And he has sent me here,
Has given me an earthly home
With parents kind and dear.
2. I am a child of God,
And so my needs are great;
Help me to understand his words
Before it grows too late.
3. I am a child of God.
Rich blessings are in store;
If I but learn to do his will,
I'll live with him once more.
4. I am a child of God.
His promises are sure;
Celestial glory shall be mine
If I can but endure.
Chorus
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with him someday.
Words: Naomi Ward Randall, 1908-2001. (c) 1957 IRI. Fourth verse (c) 1978 IRI
