Mormon Children sing "I Am a Child of God"

Primary Choir from the Kaysville and Fruit Heights Stakes in Utah sing "I Am a Child of God" during the Saturday afternoon session of the 178th Semiannual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held at the Conference Center in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah in October 2008.

"I Am a Child of God" Hymn #301

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

[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.

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
Ill 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.

@ExMormon66 wow you really like to take things out of context and turn them around I never said that is what people need religion for i said that people like you being all rude and going out of your way to bad mouth a religion that has done absolutly nothing but good things for what ?? pure enjoyment? Please please think about your feelings and anger and I hope you get over your anger because contention is not good.

[ExMormon66]

@coleneee So the purpose of religion is to keep us away from our own desires and actions? So all the historical documents that show the inconsistencies with the LDS church are just because people need someone or something to blame? If you're happy being blind then so be it.

[coleneee]

@ExMormon66 they try to find something or someone to blame. I pray these people see the truth and over come what ever it is they are dealing with. God bless

[coleneee]

@ExMormon66 In our lives we all know what our "roles are" anything the church has said since I have been in that was not good to do is obvious that they are and anyone that doesnt see those things are not good are just blinded by there own desires and addictions. Dont worry about me I am happy and Love my relgion. Thank you for your concern, but there is truley nothing wrong with our religion. I do think that sometimes when people are hurt by something that is happening in there life

@susiQ75 So if I told you that Abraham Lincoln wasn't a real person can you just believe that because you choose to? If I told you the world was a happy place and people weren't poor or starving can you just believe that because you want to, or do you really believe what the truth is regardless of whether you want it to be true?

[susiQ75]

@ExMormon66 the world is full of non believers, they choose to not believe. We had non believers during Jesus times, ppl tghat turn against him. You either believe or you don't. I choose to believe.

[ExMormon66]

@coleneee well when I was in the church they taught me that women were supposed to be the ones who stay home and men were supposed to do the work and providing for the family. I am not a woman and I find this degrading. If you are a woman and you don't consider it negative being told in the church what your "role" as a woman is, I am a little worried about you.

@susiQ75 Look beyond the daisies, flowers, and unicorns.  Try just looking at church history or the truth about Joseph Smith. Check out a copy of "No Man Knows My History"
