We began with the hymn "Sing Praise to Him", discussing the meaning of the song along with Psalm 121:2-4. We talked about what the word "mercy" means, then we read He Took My Lickin' For Me."
We used Elder Holland's "The Justice and Mercy of God" to discuss the concepts of justice and mercy.
Next, to discover what is expected of us as far as mercy goes, we sang and discussed two more hymns: "A Key Was Turned in Latter Days" (with 1 John 3:16-19) and "Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy" (with Doctrine & Covenants 18:10-16 and 1 John 2:10). It is really important to know the story behind the writing of "Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy." This video explains:
After our lesson this week, this hymn has a special place in my heart!
To bring everything together, the kids did an art project. They made a lighthouse out of cutout hearts, putting a picture of Christ as the main light in the lighthouse and a picture of themselves as a lower light on the shore.
