Just because this Primary song is lesser-known, don’t skip teaching it it in singing time! These Where Love Is Primary singing time ideas showcase that love is always found with our Heavenly Father!
You can feel confident knowing my ideas have helped make singing time something both Primary kids — and even the adults — look forward to every Sunday.
If you’re looking for a more non-traditional Primary song to sing in sacrament meeting on Mother’s Day try this one! It’s also perfect to teach around Valentine’s Day too which is my personal favorite!

This information comes from Stories from The Children’s Songbook by Sister Pat Graham.
In 1969, Joanne Doxey was asked to write a song for a Primary conference. “After praying for help,” she said, “a pure flow of inspiration came with both words and music.” Her melody and words were then arranged by Marjorie Kjar.
…There have been many versions of the song published. Sister Doxey and Sister Kjar prepared this as the official “short” version.
Find the sheet music to Where Love Is on the Church’s website. I love how the lyrics express that wherever God is, love is always present:
Where love is, there God is also. Where love is, we want to be. Guide us, his truths to follow; Help us obey him faithfully.
Where love is, there God is also. We think of him rev’rently. Teach us to pray, to talk with him above And know that he will guide us with his love.
The comfort of loving arms around us, A song that makes us want to sing, The happiness we feel when love has found us, ’Tis love we get when love we bring.
Where love is, there God is also. And with him we want to be. Show us the way and guide us tenderly That we may dwell with him eternally.
