I am a child of God, I am a child of God;

I am a child of God;
I will testify, that the world may hear it,
I am a child of God.

Let a holy life tell the Gospel story,
I am a child of God;
How He fills the soul with His grace and glory,
I am a child of God.

Saved from sin today, every band is riven,

Thro’ the tests of life I have peace from Heaven,
I am a child of God.
