I Am a Child of the King

Verse 1

Oh, how sublime is the life of the Christian, Filled with the glory of Jesus divine; Deep in his bosom he’s joyfully conscious That he is born of a heavenly line.

Chorus

I am a child, a child of the King, I am a child, a child of the King; I am a prince in the kingdom of love, I am a child of the King.

Verse 2

Once I was lost and a child of confusion, Over the mountains of folly I roamed; But at the cross I have entered the kingdom, Glory to Jesus! His love is enthroned.

Verse 3

God is my Father, and Jesus my Brother, Since I’m adopted by heavenly love; I am an heir in the kingdom of glory, And have a crown that is waiting above.
