FOUR WAYS TO GRAB SONG VISUALS AND SINGING
IDEAS TO PRESENT THIS SONG:
Talk about growing faith and testimony and making the right choices.
1. Growing Faith: Have children tell ways faith can grow in their heart from choosing the right. First, we plant the seed of a good thought or deed in our mind and heart and we help it grow through our actions. Just as the sun and water help a plant to grow we can grow faith through our righteous actions.
2. Growing Testimony of Jesus: Another way faith grows is when we read the scriptures. Have a child tell a faith-growing story in the scriptures. This is how we grow a testimony. Another way to grow faith is through choosing good choices, this way God knows we are on His side and that we want to follow Jesus, to be like Him.
3. Growing Right Choices: As we repent of wrong thoughts and actions we can grow and move toward the right choices that make us happy. We can do this by asking “What Would Jesus Do?” Then choosing the right.
Lyrics
-
Faith is knowing the sun will rise, lighting each new day.
Faith is knowing the Lord will hear my prayers each time I pray.
Faith is like a little seed:
If planted, it will grow.
Faith is a swelling within my heart.
When I do right, I know.
-
Faith is knowing I lived with God before my mortal birth.
Faith is knowing I can return when my life ends on earth.
Faith is trust in God above;
In Christ, who showed the way.
Faith is strengthened; I feel it grow
Whenever I obey.
