I am a child of Gods,
And they have sent me here,
Have given me an earthly home
With parents kind and dear.
And they have sent me here,
Have given me an earthly home
With parents kind and dear.
I am a child of Gods,
And so my needs are great;
Help me to understand their words
Before it grows too late.
And so my needs are great;
Help me to understand their words
Before it grows too late.
I am a child of Gods.
Rich blessings are in store;
If I but learn to do their will,
I’ll live with them once more.
Rich blessings are in store;
If I but learn to do their will,
I’ll live with them once more.
I am a child of Gods.
Their promises are sure;
Celestial glory shall be mine
If I can but endure.
Celestial glory shall be mine
If I can but endure.
Chorus
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with them someday.
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with them someday.
And while I was putting that up there, I thought about how we believe exhaltation is something we reach together in our families and wards and communities and not individual, so I re-did it again to reflect that. I think we're going to sing this version for Family Home Evening tomorrow.
We are children of Gods,
And they have sent us here,
Have given us an earthly home
With parents kind and dear.
And they have sent us here,
Have given us an earthly home
With parents kind and dear.
And so our needs are great;
Help us to understand their words
Before it grows too late.
Help us to understand their words
Before it grows too late.
Rich blessings are in store;
If we but learn to do their will,
We’ll live with them once more.
If we but learn to do their will,
We’ll live with them once more.
Their promises are sure;
Celestial glory shall be ours
If we can but endure.
If we can but endure.
Chorus
Lead us, guide us, walk beside us,
Help us find the way.
Teach us all that we must do
To live with them someday.
Lead us, guide us, walk beside us,
Help us find the way.
Teach us all that we must do
To live with them someday.

I wish I'd found your blog earlier. I've been cringing while singing I am a child of God to my daughter for almost 2 years now and just earlier this week thought of using "they" instead of "he". Love all your songs with reworked pronouns.
