I Am a Child of God

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.
I am a child of God, and so my needs are great,
Help me to understand His words before it grows too late.
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do to live with Him someday.
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.
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do to live with Him someday.


I think this hymn is a pretty close to being my favorite hymn to sing. The first time that I ever sang this one I could feel the Holy Spirit. I try to think of this hymn when I'm needing a pick me up. It reaffirms the reason that we are here on earth. And I know that loved ones who have passed are there with Heavenly Father and that helps when I'm sad. I know that I have said this before, but I am truly grateful for this knowledge that I have been given.
