Walk Tall, You're a Spirit of God

Mom memorized this song real quick yesterday on the way to the house to get Michael & April ready for General Conference. She sang the song for them during one of those moments when they're all getting ready and are prone to be babbling about mundane things. As Mom sang this song that Michael (8) and April (4) had never heard before, they were quiet, and they listened: 

"Right now I have a prayer deep within my heart,
A prayer for each of you there is a special part.
That you remember who you are and him who lives above.
Please seek for him and live his way; You'll feel his love.

(chorus)
Walk tall, you're a daughter*, a child of God,
Be strong and remember who you are,
Try to understand, you're part of his great plan.
He's closer than you know, Reach up; he'll take your hand.

Long before the time you can remember,
Our Father held you in his arms so tender.
Those loving arms released you as he sent you down to earth.
He said, "My child, I love you. Don't forget your great worth."

Walk tall, you're a daughter, a child of God,
Be strong and remember who you are,
Try to understand, you're part of his great plan.
He's closer than you know, Reach up; he'll take your hand.

This life on earth we knew would not be easy.
At times we lose our way his path we may not see.
But remember always that you are not alone.
He'll take your hand, He loves you! He will guide you home."

Mom substituted the word "daughter" with "Spirit" so that it would be easy for both children to identify with.

The day after General Conference (today), April asked Mom, "What does it mean, 'Reach up, he'll take your hand?"

Mom explained, "When we pray to Heavenly Father, read the scriptures, and live God's will, we're reaching up to Him. When we reach up to Him, he will take our hand and lead us through life."
