Many friends of other faiths may connect the Mormon Primary children's hymn, “I Am a Child of God,” [1] with Mormons, because members have sung it widely since 1957. This concept—that each person here on earth is a child of a Heavenly Father—the Most High God—is central to the Mormon religion (Psalms 82:6 “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.”). To members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, their Father is not an anonymous being who simply wields power over their lives but a real individual whom they have always known and loved. Their relationship with him is very personal.
