8th Article of Faith Song

1.  This song begins with the children all standing in a very formal choir stance, hands joined in front of them, fingers interlaced, hands tight against chest, with elbows out to the sides. In this position they sing "We believe the Bible to be the word of God".

2.  As you sing the next phrase "as far as it is translated correctly" you lean forward as if you had something very special you needed to say.  Using your pointer finger you wave that finger on the phrases "far, la, rect, ly".  

3.  Now the fun begins.  With knees bent and hands down beside them the whole body bounces to the beat while singing "We also believe the Book of Mormon" and then hands swoop downward and as the music moves upward on the next phrase the hands reach up high "to be the word of God".

4.  Now hands are in the air and first the right hand bounces upward and then the left, etc as you sing "Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah".  End with both hands shaking as they move downward as the music also moves downward on "It is the word of God!"  I like to add a feeling of finality by having the hands clap against the legs right after the word "God".  So it would sound like "It is the word of God. Clap".
