A Child of the King
Misc. Gospel
E
My Father is rich in houses and lands,
B E
He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands!
A
Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold,
E B7 E
His coffers are full, He has riches un told.
Chorus
E
I'm a child of the King,
A child of the King:
With Jesus my Savior,
A B7 E
I'm a child of the King.
My Father's own Son, the Savior of men,
Once wandered on earth as the poorest of them;
But now He is pleading our pardon on high,
That we may be His when He comes by and by.
Chorus
I once was an outcast stranger on earth,
A sinner by choice, an alien by birth,
But I've been adopted, my name's written down,
An heir to a mansion, a robe and a crown.
Chorus
A tent or a cottage, why should I care?
They're building a palace for me over there;
Though exiled from home, yet still may I sing:
All glory to God, I'm a child of the King.
Chorus
