You Are a Child of God – A Message of Identity, Hope, and Love
Whether you’re planning an LDS wedding, helping a child prepare for baptism, or simply seeking reassurance of who you really are—this beloved Primary hymn is a gentle reminder of eternal truth: You are a child of God.
This simple song, written for the hearts of children, speaks powerfully to all of us. It reaffirms our divine origin, our eternal potential, and our need for guidance from loving parents, leaders, and most of all—our Heavenly Father.
We invite you to listen, reflect, and share this video with someone who may need to be reminded of just how loved they are.
Lyrics to I am a Child of God, by Naomi Ward Randall
Music: Mildred Tanner Pettit
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 am a child of God.
His promises are sure;
Celestial glory shall be mine
If I can but endure.
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with him someday.
