A Child of The King
A Child of The King
A Child of The King
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ. Rom. 8:16-17
1. My Fa - ther is rich in hous - es and lands, He hold - eth the wealth of the world in His hands!
2. My Fa - ther’s own Son, the Sav - ior of men, Once wan -dered on earth as the poor -est of them;
3. I once was an out - cast stran - ger on earth, A sin - ner by choice, an a - lien by birth,
4. A tent or a cot - tage, why should I care? They’re build -ing a pal - ace for me o - ver there;
Of ru - bies and dia - monds, of sil - ver and gold, His cof - fers are full, He has rich - es un - told.
But now He is plead - ing our par - don on high, That we may be His, when He comes by and by.
But I’ve been a - dopt - ed, my name’s writ -ten down, An heir to a man - sion, a robe and a crown.
Tho’ ex - iled from home, yet still may I sing: All glo - ry to God, I’m a child of the King.
Refrain
I’m a child of the King, A child of the King: With Je - sus my Sav - ior, I’m a child of the King.
