Forever Family Temple Medley Families-Can-Be-Together-Forever-I-Love-to-See-the-Temple-Primary-by-Shari-Orme
I have long wanted an arrangement that molded these two doctrine-filled primary favorites together. As a primary chorister who was asked to pick a song to teach the kids the theme, "Families are Forever", what better 2 songs could communicate that message!
I chose the order of the verses purposefully to emphasize that making a family forever could only happen inside the temple walls that God had sanctified for that purpose. The ending of the 1st verse states that the Lord has "shown us how [we] can" have a forever family. The 2nd verse explains how this is done: to "covenant with my Father" in that "holy place" where we "are sealed together". The 3rd verse emphasizes our efforts and part to receive those choice blessings: by "preparing most carefully to marry in God's temple". I love that message so much, and did my best to capture the beauty of it in my arrangement of 2 of the sweetest primary songs ever written. When children sing this, you will notice an extra measure of power - it was so wonderful for our program. :)
