Not to be outdone by his children, Brent even had a Mother's Day presentation. He decided to sing "I Am A Child of God" in English and Afrikaans, requesting family assistance joining in on the chorus. Naomi Randall wrote the text to "I Am a Child of God." Her original version of the song read: "Teach me all that I must know to live with Him someday."
When President Spencer W. Kimball heard Primary children sing "I Am a Child of God" while visiting a conference in California he remarked that he loved the children's song, but there was one word that bothered him. President Kimball asked a Primary general board member if Sister Randall would be willing to change the word "know" to the word "do."
It was a simple change but an important one! Knowing what is right is good but it's more important that we do what is right!
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 grea;
Help me to understand his words, Before it grows to late.
Lead me guide 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. Rich blessing are in store;
If I but learn to do his will, I'll live with him once more.
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. 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. -Naomi Randall
