Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. When I don’t mind my parentsAnd want to have my way,I soon feel verry sorryFor things I do and say.And so I ask forgivenessTo show I really care.I talk to Heav’nly Father,Who always hears my prayer.
2. I love my Heav’nly FatherAnd earthly parents too.They want to be forgivingFor wrong things that I do.If I keep trying harderTo live the way I should,I’ll turn away from evil,Repent, and seek what’s good.
