For I am a Child of God

I live in a place of harsh reality

Where evil surrounds me and tempts me

Where easily I could fall away from him

If I hadn’t His hand to hold me

For I am a child of God

And He knew me before I was born

He has given me life and love

And His safety through life’s storm

In a world where the pace exceeds my judgement

I try to live slowly, deliberately in peace

Where pushes and pulls are plenty

There I must hold fast and increase

For I am a child of God

And He knew me before I was born

He has given me life and love

And His safety through life’s storm

In a time with not One God but many

When gain is worshipped as goal

He remains present and open to me

As Truth Himself, making me whole

For I am a child of God

And He knew me before I was born

He has given me life and love

And His safety through life’s storm

I am never forgotten, always known

Even in the loneliest and saddest of times

Living in the mind of God as His own

He holds me close, I am home

For I am a child of God

And He knew me before I was born

He has given me life and love

And His safety through life’s storm
