I Am a Child of God
"I Am a Child of God" is a Latter-day Saint hymn and song for children. The lyrics were written in 1957 by Naomi W. Randall and set to music by Mildred Tanner Pettit. The song has been translated into over 90 languages. The phrase "I Am a Child of God" is also used in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) as a declaration of a basic teaching of the church.
==Composition==
Randall composed the first three verses of "I Am a Child of God" at the request of the general board of the Primary Association, of which she was a member. The board wanted a song that could teach children about LDS Church teachings on the nature of a child's relationship with God. Randall described how she composed the song:
I got down on my knees and prayed aloud, pleading that our Heavenly Father would let me know the right words.
Around 2:00 a.m., I awakened and began to think again about the song. Words came to my mind. … I immediately got up and began to write the words down as they had come to me. Three verses and a chorus were soon formed.
I gratefully surveyed the work, drank of the message of the words, and returned to my bedroom where I knelt before my Father in Heaven to say "Thank you!"〔Karen Lynn Davidson (1998). ''Our Latter-day Hymns: The Stories and the Messages'' (Salt Lake City, Utah: Deseret Book) pp. 303–04.〕
Randall mailed the lyrics to her friend Mildred T. Pettit in California, who wrote the accompanying music.
