Wow it's 2009!!! Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. Like everyone else we have been enjoying time with family and friends and looking forward to a great new year. I have a feeling my blogging will be even more sporadic this semester. Life is crazy already! I love this time of year with all it's exciting changes.
I love this years Primary theme which is: My Eternal Family and I really love the song for January. It was one of my favorite Primary songs when I was a kid and I love that I get to learn the music in Spanish now! Anyhow here are the lyrics to "I Lived in Heaven" which is a lovely song and thought to start the new year.
LIVED IN HEAVEN
Words and Music by Janeen Jacobs Brady, b. 1934
I lived in heaven a long time ago, it is true;
Lived there and loved there with people I know. So did you.
Then Heavenly Father presented a beautiful plan,
All about earth and eternal salvation for man.
Father said he needed someone who had enough love
To give his life so we all could return there above.
There was another who sought for the honor divine.
Jesus said, "Father, send me, and the glory be thine".
Jesus was chosen, and as the Messiah he came,
Conquering evil and death through his glorious name,
Giving us hope of a wonderful life yet to be -
Home in that heaven where Father is waiting for me.
