"O My Father" is my favorite hymn. We sang it Sunday and it made me cry. Hearing that song was the best part of my whole Sunday because I felt the spirit so strong. I really do believe that God is a loving Heavenly Father and that we are His children. We lived with Him before we came to earth and we can join Him again.
O my Father, thou that dwellest in the high and glorious place, When shall I regain thy presence and again behold thy face? In thy holy habitation, did my spirit once reside? In my first primeval childhood, was I nurtured by thy side?
For a wise and glorious purpose, thou hast placed me here on earth. And withed the recollection of my former friends and birth. Yet ofttimes a secret something whispers your a stranger here and I felt that I had wandered from a more exalted sphere.
I had learned to call thee Father, thru thy spirit from on high. But until the key of knowledge was restored, I knew not why. In the heavens are parents single? No, the thought makes reason stare! Truth is reason, truth eternal, Tells me I've a mother there.
When I leave this frail existence, when I lay this mortal by, Father, Mother may I meet you in your royal courts on high? Then at length when I've completed al lyou sent me forth to do, with your mutual approbation, let me come and dwell with you.

I sang that hymn to my grandma the last time I saw her before she died. I wasn't able to go to her funeral because I was in New York. Everytime I sing it I think about my Grandma.
