I Love This Song

We have a wonderful Primary presidency here, and the primary has been working hard to prepare for its upcoming program on Sunday.  This is one of the songs they will sing.  I just love it.  It came out in the Oct. 2002 Friend magazine, and again in January 2010, for all the primary kids to learn.  When I hear it, it reminds me of our awesome primary presidency and leaders back in UT.  They put a series of songs, including this one, on a CD for each child, and we played it every time we went anywhere in the van.  When it came on, I could picture our primary music leader, who is a dear and beautiful, talented friend of mine with a crystal clear voice, leading the children to this sweet song.  Lance and Jace know it.  When I asked them tonight, they agreed to help Kyle learn it tomorrow night during family night and throughout this week before our Primary Program on Sunday. 
It is called "I Know That My Savior Loves Me." by Tami Jeppson Creamer and Derena Bell:


A long time ago in a beautiful place,
Children were gathered ’round Jesus.
He blessed and taught as they felt of His love.
Each saw the tears on His face.
The love that He felt for His little ones
I know He feels for me.
I did not touch Him or sit on His knee,
Yet, Jesus is real to me.

I know he lives! (The children sing it just like this. You don't have to be in the primary room to hear it):

I will follow faithfully.
My heart I give to Him.
I know that my Savior loves me.

Now I am here in a beautiful place,
Learning the teachings of Jesus.
Parents and teachers will help guide the way,
Lighting my path ev’ry day.
Wrapped in the arms of my Savior’s love,
I feel His gentle touch.
Living each day, I will follow His way,
Home to my Father above

I know he lives!
I will follow faithfully.
My heart I give to Him.
I know that my Savior loves me.
