Beautiful Music!

So at my church each Sunday all of the children get together and have what's called Singing Time. My mom was always the conductor growing up and I loved it. Even now I still sing some of the songs and here are two of my favorites:

I am a child of God,
And He has sent me here,
Has given me an earthly home
with parents kind and dear.

Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with Him someday

Another one of my favorites is:
My life is a gift;
My life has a plan.
My life has a purpose;
in Heav'n it began.

My choice was to come to this lovely home on earth
And seek for God's light to direct me from birth.

I will follow God's plan for me,
Holding fast to his word and his love.
I will work, and I will pray;
I will always walk in his way.

Then I will be happy on earth
And in my home above.

So I thought I knew all of the songs until I heard this one...it is beautiful! I guess it came out last December and I love it! Here are the lyrics:

Our Father has a family. It’s me!
It’s you, all others too: we are His children.
He sent each one of us to earth, through birth,
To live and learn here in fam’lies.

God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to be—
This is how He shares His love, for the fam’ly is of God.

A father’s place is to preside, provide,
To love and teach the gospel to his children.
A father leads in fam’ly prayer to share
Their love for Father in Heaven.

God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to be—
This is how He shares His love, for the fam’ly is of God.

A mother’s purpose is to care, prepare,
To nurture and to strengthen all her children.
She teaches children to obey, to pray,
To love and serve in the fam’ly.

God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to be—
This is how He shares His love, for the fam’ly is of God.

I’ll love and serve my family and be
A good example to each fam’ly member.
And when I am a mom or dad, so glad,
I’ll help my fam’ly remember:

God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to be—
This is how He shares His love, for the fam’ly is of God.

Anyway, I just know that this is true! I know the family is of God and that we can feel His love as we serve and love each other in our families. I am so grateful for music and its power in teaching simple truths to children and adults alike.
