I Am My Heavenly Father’s Child

I may fail to be as clever

As my neighbor down the street

I may fail to be wealthy

As some others that I meet

I may never win the glory

Which so many have had

But I've got to be successful

As my heavenly father’s child.

There are certain dreams I cherish

Which I'd like to see come true

There are things I want to accomplish

when my time in this life is through

But the task my heart is on

That will cause my heart to be glad

Is to make myself successful

As my heavenly father’s child.

I may never come to glory

I may never gather gold

People may list my failures

When my life's story is told

But if those who hear my gospel

Will find the Christ I love

Then I'll know I've been successful

As my heavenly father’s child.

It's the one job that I dream of

It's the task I think of most

If I fail those who seek to know my God

I'd have nothing else to boast

For though wealth and fame be gathered

All my future would be sad

If I failed to be successful

As my heavenly father’s child.
