Singing Time this week I based it on a Presidency Message by Marion G Romney http://lds.org/ensign/1982/09/reverence?lang=eng&query=respect+god and a Fifth Sunday lesson given by our Bishop a couple of years ago.
Ask the children - What is reverence?
Marion G Romney states: "reverence is a profound respect mingled with love and devotion.
Song: I Will Try To Be Reverent 28
If you have profound reverence for the Lord you love him, trust in him, pray to him, rely on him, and are inspired by him.

Read John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."
If we love the Lord, we will serve him and keep his commandments.
Ask the children - What is the first commandment?
Read Matthew 22:37
The first commandment in the law (the law of moses), which the Savior said is the greatest of all commandments is " Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart....
Ask the children - What is the second commandment?
Read Matthew 22:39
And the second commandment is like unto it "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
Song: Keep the Commandments 146
A couple of years ago, our Bishop taught a Fifth Sunday lesson on reverence in church. He said that we should prepare ourselves all week to be ready to be reverent during church on Sunday.

In the chapel we should come in sit down and listen to the organ play the prelude music. We should reflect on what we need to improve on before we take the sacrament.

We should not bring toys or text others during sacrament meeting. We should come prepared to listen and take notes or draw pictures about what the speakers present to us.

During our primary meetings, show respect for the teacher. Be prepared to listen and to learn about the gospel and participate when it is appropriate.

Bear testimony that as we strive to learn more about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ we will become more like them and be reverent when we think about them.
