My Eternal Family

Next year's Primary theme is My Eternal Family. Below is one of the songs our children will be learning called "The Family is of God". It is a beautiful song with a very powerful message and so I wanted to share it with you.


1. Our Father has a family. It’s me!
It’s you, all others too: we are His children.
He sent each one of us to earth, through birth,
To live and learn here in fam’lies.

2. A father’s place is to preside, provide,
To love and teach the gospel to his children.
A father leads in fam’ly prayer to share
Their love for Father in Heaven.

3. A mother’s purpose is to care, prepare,
To nurture and to strengthen all her children.
She teaches children to obey, to pray,
To love and serve in the fam’ly.

4. I’ll love and serve my family and be
A good example to each fam’ly member.
And when I am a mom or dad, so glad,
I’ll help my fam’ly remember:

[Chorus]
God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to be—
This is how He shares His love, for the fam’ly is of God.

I'm excited for the new theme and thankful to be in the primary. The songs for next year are so perfect. I chose Beautiful Savior as one of the elective songs. It's so pretty.
