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

I am a child of God,
And so my needs are great.
Help me to understand his words
Before it grows too late.

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.

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.
