Girl's Camp Flashback

Tonight some ladies and young women in our ward got together and sang a few songs to a sister to try and comfort her at a tough time. It was a great experience and I felt like I was back at girls camp when the young women sang "Walk Tall You're a Daughter." It is one of my favorite songs and I was amazed that I still remembered all but a line even though it has been at least 5 years since I sang it last. I thought I'd post the lyrics for those of you who don't know it and for those of you who get as much enjoyment out of it as I do.

Words and Music by Jamie Glenn

Right now I have a prayer deep within my heart.
A prayer for each of you there is a special part
That you remember who you are and Him who lives above
Please seek for Him and live His way; You'll feel His love.

(Chorus)
Walk tall you're a daughter, a child of God.
Be strong, please remember who you are.
Try to understand, you're part of His great plan.
He's closer than you, reach up, He'll take your hand.

Long before the time you can remember,
Our father held you in His arms so tender.
Those loving arms released you as He sent you down to earth.
He said, "My child, I love you, don't forget your great worth."

(chorus)

This life on earth we knew would not be easy.
At times we lose our way, His plan we may not see.
But please remember, always, please, that you are not alone.
He'll take your hand, He loves you. He will guide you home.
(chorus)

Wow, that is a total flashback! I don't think I've sung that song since the last year that I went to Girls Camp. I love that song!
