lyrics to I am a child of God.

[Bless her heart]

SO I can't remember if it was a blog that I ran across or if it was somewhere on here, but I saw the song "I am a child of God" written, but with lyrics that were for the passing of a baby... or so I believe. If anyone is familiar with this or knows where I can find it, please let me know. I think I might like it for Stephen's funeral (whenever that may be). He is still with us as of right now. He has such a special spirit. I will miss him very, very much! Thanks everyone for your love and support. I'm so thankful for all of you~ love to you and yours.

The Orrock family has it posted on their blog from sweet Cali's funeral:

I am a child of God and He has called me home.
My earthly journey's through but still, I do not walk alone.
He leads me, guides me, walks beside me, helps me find the way,
He welcomed me with open arms. I live with Him today.

I am a child of God and I have gone ahead.
My earthly life was brief but oh, such peace and love you gave.
You loved me, held me, stood beside me and though I cannot stay.
You gave me much to help me and I live with Him today.

I am a child of God and I will wait for you.
Celestial glory shall be ours, if you can but endure.
I'll lead you, guide you, walk beside you.
Help you find the way.
I'll welcome you with open arms
One bright Celestial day.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate you and all that post on here. It has really helped. Thanks! I miss my little precious Stephen and he hasn't even left me yet. I still can't believe that this is going to happen.

Love Jess

I just spent some time reading the Bowman's blog about little Stephen. Please know that my heart is going out to you guys tonight. What a wonderful thing to have Stephen home with you, and yet painful because for each moment you say hello, you are also beginning to say goodbye. I said a prayer tonight for your family and for that darling little boy. He is just so precious! Our love goes to your whole family!

That's exactly right. It is so fun to have him, but hard not to get used to the idea. I keep thinking... maybe he will surprise us all! I'm not sure... but he is definetly a complete blessing. Thanks for your prayers and concern. It means a lot!

Love Jess

Your family is in my thoughts every day. I'm so glad that you were able to go home and spend time as a family with Stephen. The pictures on your blog are beautiful. You are such great people and Stephen is truely blessed to have the both of you as parents. Take care!

Not sure if you have heard this beautiful new song... I am the primary chorister and it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it...

If the Savior stood beside me,
would I do the things I do,
would I think of his commandments and try harder to be true?
Would I follow His example?
would I live more rightously if I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?

If the Savior stood beside me,
would I say the things I say?
Would my words be true and kind if He were never far away?
Would I try to share the gospel?
Would I speak more reverently if I could see the Savior standing nigh, Watching over me.

He is always near me
though I do not see him there
And because He love me dearly I am in His watchful care.
So I'll be the kind of person
That I know I'd like to be,
So I can live with (enter name)-Stephen-
and my Savior, for Eternity.

[Bless her heart]

I absolutely love it. Thank you!
