"As a Child of God"

"As a Child of God" has a powerful message.  The melody is simple which helps us focus on the message.  I chose pictures to teach each set of two lines. 
First two lines: A picture of a baby, of the earth and a family
Lines 3 and 4: A picture of a happy family and a heart with "love" written in the heart
Lines 5 and 6: A picture of a house and a child doing service (cleaning, yard work, visiting the elderly)
Chorus: A picture of a child with Christ, a light (light bulb, flashlight), a "CTR" shield

As you show each set of pictures, sing the two lines while pointing to the pictures.  Singing the phrases 3 times helps the children hear the melody.  Have the children sing the phrases 3 times, then move on to the next two lines.  Sing the whole song once all phrases have been learned.
