"The Family is of God"

I just watched the April 2015 General Women's Broadcast. There were a lot of great talks and uplifting music all centered around... The Family! Which of course I thought was awesome because it's exactly what I've been learning about all semester. At the beginning of the broadcast there was a video of families singing the children's song, "The Family is of God," which I had actually never heard before. I'm not usually one to be especially touched by the music in our conferences and church meetings, but as I watched the video tonight this song became an instant favorite of mine.

What a great way to summarize and teach the simple truths of the doctrine of the family to children (or, well... anybody!) So I looked it up because I really wanted to share it here. Unfortunately (but unsurprisingly) they don't have on Youtube yet the video they just showed in conference, but I did find a different video with accompanying lyrics. Please listen to this primary song and think about the beautiful lessons it teaches about families.

[Update: Actually I just found the video from Conference on lds.org! Here it is:]

Lyrics:
Verse 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 families.

Chorus:
God game us families,
to help us become what He wants us to be.
This is how He shares His love.
For the family is of God.

Verse 2.
A father's place is to preside, provide,
to love and teach the gospel to his children.
A father leads in family prayer, to share
their love for Father in Heaven.

Chorus:
God game us families,
to help us become what He wants us to be.
This is how He shares His love.
For the family is of God.

Verse 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 family.

Chorus:
God game us families,
to help us become what He wants us to be.
This is how He shares His love.
For the family is of God.

Verse 4:
I'll love and serve my family, and be, 
a good example to each family member.
And when I am a mom or dad, so glad,
I'll help my family remember.

Chorus:
God game us families,
to help us become what He wants us to be.
This is how He shares His love.
For the family is of God.
