Today I am grateful and thankful for Primary Songs. Growing up LDS (Mormon), we were always singing amazing primary songs. I love hearing the Primary children sing. It always brings a small tear to my eyes (sometimes more).
Today I made use of about every Primary song in the book. I was able to sing to a sweet, small boy named Sam while his mother caught up on some much needed sleep and a little bit of lunch.
His favorite? "Give Said the Little Stream".
It is one of my favorites too.
"Give," said the little stream, "Give," oh, give, give, oh, give, Give," said the little stream, As it hurried down the hill; "I'm small, I know, but wherever I go,The fields grow greener still."
Singing, singing all the day, "Give away, oh, give away," Singing, singing all the day, "Give, oh, give away."
"Give," said the little rain, "Give, oh, give, give, oh, give, Give," said the little rain, As it fell upon the flowers. "I'll raise their drooping heads again," As it fell upon the flowers.
Singing, singing all the day, "Give away, oh, give away," Singing, singing all the day, "Give, oh, give away."
"Give," then, what you can give, "Give, oh, give, give, oh, give, Give," then, what you can give, There is something all can give. Do as the streams and blossoms do, And for other people live.
Singing, singing all the day, "Give away, oh, give away," Singing, singing all the day, "Give, oh, give away."
I enjoyed my few hours with Sam. He is such a sweet boy.
I am so glad his mama got some much needed rest. But most of all, I am glad that they called me to come help. I am glad I got to give them something, because they always give so much of themselves.
I am so grateful and thankful that I had an arsenal of songs in my back pocket. I needed it today.
And I am so grateful and thankful for the wonderful Primary program that children of our faith get to be a part of. It is truly a magnificent place to learn about how much our Heavenly Father and Savior love us.
I look forward to singing these songs to my own kids on day. Until then, I am happy to sing them to everyone elses.
If we could always be like that little stream, think of the difference it would make.
