My Father is rich in houses and lands
He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands!
Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold
His coffers are full, He has riches untold
I'm the child of a King
The child of a King!
With Jesus, my Savior
I'm the child of a King
My Father's own Son, the Savior of men
Once wandered o'er earth as the poorest of them
But now He is reigning forever on high
And will give me a home in heaven by and by
| |
I once was an outcast stranger on earth
A sinner by choice, and an alien by birth!
But I've been adopted, my name's written down
An heir to a mansion, a robe, and a crown
A tent or a cottage, why should I care?
They're building a palace for me over there!
Though exiled from home, yet still I may sing
All glory to God, I'm the child of a King!
