FOUR WAYS TO GRAB SONG VISUALS AND SINGING
*THE FAMILY IS OF GOD
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.

Do the song visuals have words written on them?
LYRICS: The words are left off of the visuals for the following reasons:
1. Copyright laws prohibit us from including the lyrics without the author’s express permission.
2. This allow you to write the words or phrases you choose in your own language. At the bottom of the visuals, we suggest writing (in large easy-to-read letters) a keyword or a sentence starter, e.g., “Nephi’s older brothers” will get them started and help children finish the phrase: “believed it would not float.”
We have provided CUE CARDS to be glued on the back of the visuals that will help the leader recall the words along with a small thumbnail of the visual being shown. You may write in the corresponding words for each cue card if you choose to do so.
We have provided a link to go directly to the lyrics on the church website for each available song.
