About the Hymns
Anytime, Anywhere
Author and composer Angie Killian found a special love for creating music to teach her children the gospel. One day a statement in a booklet for Primary children caught her attention: “I can pray to Heavenly Father anytime, anywhere.” Sister Killian felt inspired to write a song to teach this simple but powerful truth. After writing the first verse about our ability to pray to God, she felt the song needed a second verse to emphasize that we can also listen for heavenly guidance anytime, anywhere. Together, these verses help teach that prayer is more than one-way communication.
Sister Killian’s goal in writing music is to share her love of Jesus Christ and His teachings in a way that children can understand. She said: “God truly does hear our prayers and answers them openly. It is my prayer that this beautiful truth will be planted in the hearts of children everywhere.”
