A sweet moment was captured when this little girl sang “I Am a Child of God” to her baby sister.
“I Am A Child Of God”
Naomi W. Randall was the one who wrote the popular hymn, “I Am a Child of God.” She wrote it in the middle of the night while also preparing for a conference.
The Church News reported, “Recalling the experience in 1957, Sister Randall explained that she wrote the words while preparing for a Primary conference program to be held in the Salt Lake Tabernacle. She was given the assignment to write a song on the program’s theme: “A Child’s Plea.” That night in her North Ogden, Utah, home, Sister Randall prayed that she might know the right text for the song and then went to bed. Around 2 a.m. she awoke and as she lay there “in the darkness and the quietness the words started to form in my mind.””
Years later, the hymn has been translated into over 90 languages and sung by millions of people.

Lyrics
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
Send this to your friend in need!
