So last Sunday I was asked to be the substitute teacher for Primary singing time. At the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the children learn songs that increase faith, teach doctrinal principals, and inspire Christ-like living. One of the songs the Primary children are working on in our church group is called “Families Can Be Together Forever.” Because I am a visual learner, I created printables that went along with the two verses. I’ve included the lyrics below and added Primary singing time help for Families Can Be Together Forever (free printable downloads!) in case you’re looking for ways to help your Primary children or family members learn the words to this song.

Lyrics

Verse 1

I have a fam’ly here on earth.

They are so good to me.

I want to share my life with them through all eternity.

Chorus

Fam’lies can be together forever

Through Heav’nly Father’s plan.

I always want to be with my own family,

And the Lord has shown me how I can.

The Lord has shown me how I can.

Verse 2

While I am in my early years,

I’ll prepare most carefully,

So I can marry in God’s temple for eternity.

Chorus (again)

Fam’lies can be together forever

Through Heav’nly Father’s plan.

I always want to be with my own family,

And the Lord has shown me how I can.

The Lord has shown me how I can.

I love the simple truths in this song. Even my three-year-old can sing it after a few weeks of practicing, and it makes my heart happy to hear her declare, “I always want to be with my own family, and the Lord has shown me how I can.”
