I came across this video tonight. It's just about the sweetest thing I've ever heard. You should definitely take the time to take a listen for yourself.
Here are the words:

Long time reader, first time commenter:
I LOVE this song. I can't help but get teary whenever we sing it in Primary. In fact, a few months ago we were singing it and one of my Primary children noticed the hairs on my arms standing straight up. He was very concerned. I told him that I feel the spirit when we sing that song, and that is why my arms look like that. He looked at me quizzically and said "Sooooo, the spirit makes the hair on your arms grow? OR have you always had hairy man arms!!?!!
I don't actually have hairy man arms, but I do love that song.
I love this song!! Being in the Primary Presidency has made this one of my favorite songs this year. Hearing the primary kids sing it every week makes the spirit so strong in our primary room.
1. A long time ago in a beautiful place,
Children were gathered ’round Jesus.
He blessed and taught as they felt of His love.
Each saw the tears on His face.
The love that He felt for His little ones
I know He feels for me.
I did not touch Him or sit on His knee,
Yet, Jesus is real to me.
Chorus
I know He lives!
I will follow faithfully.
My heart I give to Him.
I know that my Savior loves me.
2. Now I am here in a beautiful place,
Learning the teachings of Jesus.
Parents and teachers will help guide the way,
Lighting my path ev’ry day.
Wrapped in the arms of my Savior’s love,
I feel His gentle touch.
Living each day, I will follow His way,
Home to my Father above.
Chorus
